Khmer Cuisine Masterclass: Market, Cooking & River Table

Forage the Siem Reap morning market with a Khmer chef, then craft three signature dishes — amok, lok lak, and banana-blossom salad — before dining at a riverside table. Hands-on, intimate, and deeply delicious.

What to expect

Your tuk-tuk weaves through Siem Reap's Psar Leu market at peak morning buzz — your chef-guide pointing out obscure rhizomes, fermented fish paste, and kaffir lime leaves that define Khmer flavour. Back in the open-air kitchen, you pound your own kroeung spice paste from scratch, steam fish amok in banana-leaf cups, and learn the art of the wok-tossed lok lak. The session concludes at a shaded riverside table where you eat everything you cooked, glass of Cambodian craft beer in hand, before the return transfer to Angkor Ban.
