Must Do When in Siem Reap - It's a must do experience. Jenny (English name) is a great teacher. She was able to teach my khmer friends that never cooked before how to make something from their native land. And the portions are HUGE. We enough leftovers for the next couple of days. Except for the banana flambe, I ate all of that . Yum 😋

Enjoyable and a Must Do Activity when you are in Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭 - When traveling to different countries, I enjoy taking cooking classes to learn how to cook the local meals. I visited Siem Reap, Cambodia with two friends that are locals here. Neither of them have cooked before. I don't know which I enjoyed more: watching their smiles after making a delicious meal or how great a teacher Channy, our instructor, was at teaching us how to cook local cuisine. I highly recommend this class if you are in Siem Reap. And be sure to request Channy to be your teacher. 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟

Unforgettable Cooking Class with the Amazing Chef Sinuon! - We had the most incredible experience at the Paper Tiger cooking class in Cambodia! Our chef, Sinuon, was absolutely amazing — kind, super helpful, and full of warmth. She had the brightest smile that made the whole experience feel even more special. We went as a family of five, and it was a perfect activity for all ages. Sinuon guided us through each step with patience and clarity, making it easy and fun, even for the less experienced cooks in our group. The food was super filling and delicious — one of the best meals we had during our trip! This class was a true highlight of our visit, and we can't recommend it enough. Thank you, Sinuon, for sharing your talent and your heart with us! ⭐

- Really really interesting “did not know I could cook that well 😎”. Market was great and overall organisation superb. The ONLY comment is potentially provide slightly more menu options to select from.

One of the best experiences in Cambodia! - One of the best evenings we had in Siem Reap. We booked the group cooking class but ended up being alone there and it was perfect. I recommend you book the 5pm class with Sopheap she was so kind and such a great cook! Also the portions of food were huge we were stuffed after leaving the class. Great value for money.

Cooking lesson with Sopheap - We had an amazing culinary experience with Sopheap during the 5pm cooking lesson ! She taught us how to cook a chicken curry from scratch with some chicken spring rolls and a fried banana with passion fruit juice. Probably one of the best local experience you could do here ! I strongly recommend it !!

Hurry hurry - Channy was an excellent cook. I took a private lesson. The food was terrific; the stroll through the market was just for information- all the ingredients were already at the restaurant. My only complaint was that I was rushed through all the steps and Channy did lots of the chopping herself. When I asked why it was over in half the time, she said it was because it wasn’t a class of several students. If that’s the case, the listing should make that clear. It says 3 hours. Fortunately they did send the recipes since it was impossible to film everything or take in all she was saying. I look forward to cooking these dishes at home.
