  We learned how to cook a local lunch in the home of Sokvy and Chantry. If you have any hesitation, give this a go. It was one of my highlights... read more on Siem Reap.

Chantry was a wealth of knowledge about farming, Khmer life and Siem Reap. His wife was an amazing cook and a good teacher. The food was very high quality and most was from their farming plot too.

Highly Recommend!

  We had a great experience with Ms Sokvy and her family. She made some delicious local dishes and we were able to join in the cooking. Her family was very... read more welcoming and it’s very convenient that her husband is also a tuk tuk driver who can pick you up for a small extra fee. Would definitely do this again.

  Make time for this experience. Such a wonderful way to share in local food, culture, and community. Our family (2 adults, 2 kids) all agreed our lunch with Ms. Dary... read more and her family was a highlight of our time in Siem Reap. From meeting neighbors, collecting herbs, preparing food, cooking, sharing a meal, and making palm craft- it just got better and better. Food was SO GOOD!! Far better than a restaurant meal.

Ms Dary helped me when I got lost trying to find... read more her home, we picked fresh herbs from her garden to use in the cooking, she took me round to visit the neighbour pig too.

We then finished the day by making things out of palm leaves which we had a lot of fun together thank you again Ms Dary

  We made a beautiful Cambodian dinner in Dary’s home last night. My husband is a vegetarian and Dary happily accommodated him by using tofu, mushrooms and soy sauce instead of... read more meat and fish products. We picked some of the ingredients from her garden.

  A really great instantly welcoming experience with Mrs. Dary. meeting the neighbours living traditionally with thier animals including a buffalo and its calf, picking herbs and preparing tradotional base for... read more the flavors and mincing the pork were all highlights. Making woven items made from the palm fronds and how they are prepared for weaving was a verry fun surprise!
I reneged on my veteran preference due to the pork preparation interest. But Mrs. Dary. also refreshingly offeres great vegetarian options. I would do it again to see that too. I guess I'm still in transition phase.

  We visited wonderful family. Very interesting experience. We cooked together and eat! Also they have small crocodile farm. Fresh and good products. Home meal. I highly recommend to have this... read more experience!
