Wonderful evening in Phnom Penh - Yesterday we took this food tour with Vy. It was our 3rd night in the city and an excellent way to see things we would never have managed on our own. The 5 venues we stopped at were superb - often family owned - and provided opportunities to try a range of dishes. Our guide Vy was lovely, very informative and friendly. We enjoyed her company and getting to know more about Cambodian culture. Our tuk tuk driver was very considerate, taking time to ensure we were safe and dry! All in all would definitely recommend.

Extensive food choices and a great guide! - A great evening with an extensive range of local delights. Vesna was a fabulous guide full of knowledge not just about the origins of the food but about local culture and politics too. A fun night with teenagers who all gave the dishes a try. The tuk tuks are a bonus way to see the lesser known areas of PP. Highly recommend!

Fantastic tour. Would recommend - The tour was fantastic and a great way to explore the local food scene, especially places out of sight that foreigners may not normally go to without a local guide. The food was fantastic and the tour guide, Veasna, was superb. He was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of Khmer cuisine. Would recommend a tour with Veasna to eat great food and learn about Cambodia’s culinary history.

A fun night out - We did the evening tour by tuk tuk. Chakriya was great. She was very knowledgeable and very well spoken. I had a slight mishap in that my thong decided to break mid tour so she negotiated a new pair from a street vendor which went well and above. The food was lovely and a great variety. I even tried frog for the first time!

Great food tour experience in Phnom Penh! - We had a wonderful time on the Lost Plate Tuk Tuk food tour in Phnom Penh. Our guide, Veasna, was fantastic and told us stories and the rich lore and history behind the dishes we experienced that night. The food and restaurants Veasna selected were interesting, widely varied, all quite delicious, and representative of Cambodian cuisine. It was an authentic experience with six stops in total and more than enough food to fill you up, and more. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Fun way to learn about Phnom Penh, its food, people and culture - Took the evening tuk-tuk tour hosted by Chakriya. Had an amazing experience traveling around the city and tasting authentic local cuisine. Chakriya has lived in Phnom Penh her whole life and is proud of her city and excited to share it with travelers.
