A Cambodia cooking class is a great way to spend a few hours or a few days, depending on how serious the course is. Below is a post we recently received:
Myself and my wife travel to Cambodia recently. The tour was ok and same as the other travel companies organize i guess. Because we have seen the same people who spend 3 days in a row the same with us too. But our English Speaking Guide was not as good as what we expected.
On the other hand, when the tour end and we have found a Cooking Class we decided to take the course. This is the most enjoyable tour that we had in Cambodia. I strongly recommended this tour to everyone if you are looking for something to see and do beside temples.
A Cambodia Cooking Class that we took was very good price only USD38/person (2people) and if you have 3 people and the price is reduce to USD25/person. The tour started at 9.00am when our guide picked us with his tuk-tuk. From our hotel and go straight to the cooking village.
First we met with the Village chef and he introduce us to the food that we going to cook. There are 4 courses (1-Starter, 2-Main courses and 1-desert, all of these food are 100% traditional Cambodian food.
We know that the price for this cooking class is more expensive than other in town. But i am very sure that you will not get the same experiences like the one we had. we have asked several in town and it was not more details like our guide did with us.
And especially our Class had include Learn how to cook rice in a traditional way too and may cooking class in town didn't include that.
Plus our school took off 10% of the tour price from each person to donate to the local community and support village kids to go to school too. (If i don't see the donation box, i must not believe it) But I seen it and i can see the development / changes from that benefit too. Our local guide have told us that give parents a job, give their kids an education.
So we would like to make a recommendation to you to try a Cooking Class in Cambodia. Maybe while you are in Siem Reap and you looking for something to do beside temples, it is perfect time for you.
