5.00My son (12) and I did this class with our teacher Sinuon, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Great mix of watching & listening, doing every chopping and frying ourselves, and get help, when stuck or for the final pounding (« more angry!😄 »). Ingredients were excellent, Sinuon the best and kindest teacher, and our results surpised us. We look forward to bringing this cooking experience home to our family! Highly recommend this course!
Excellent teacher and délicious food

4.00This was a lovely experience and we made an amazing feast of traditional Cambodian food. The teacher Sinoun was so lovely and good fun to spend time with. During the walk around the local market Sinoun talked us through some foods we hadn't seen before. After that it was back to the restaurant to get cooking ourselves. The foods we cooked were so fresh and tasted delicious. The only disappointment is that we have not received the recipes so far as promised but hopefully they will follow. Such a lovely experience.
A must do for all khmer food enthusiasts

5.00Great experience. Good value for money. The whole team was very attentive, especially our cooking guide Sopheap. We booked as a couple and basically had a private cooking because the class was just us. But paper tiger still delivered and all was very enjoyable.
