Phnom Penh Hidden Eateries Tour
Phnom Penh's food scene is one of Southeast Asia's best-kept secrets — a cuisine of incredible depth that somehow survived the devastation of the Khmer Rouge and re-emerged with its soul intact. This tour takes you deep into the city's back-street eateries and market stalls that rarely see foreign visitors. Your guide — a Phnom Penh local with a passion for Khmer food history — will walk you through 11 dishes that reveal the full range of Cambodian flavour. The centrepiece is fish amok: Cambodia's beloved national dish of freshwater fish steamed in coconut milk and lemongrass inside a banana leaf cup. We also visit a Khmer BBQ grill for charcoal-cooked meats with fermented dipping sauces, and for the adventurous, the chance to try a deep-fried tarantula — a genuine local delicacy that tastes considerably better than it sounds.
Siem Reap Night Market Bites
After a day of marvelling at the temples of Angkor Wat, there is no better way to end the evening than with Siem Reap's vibrant night food scene. This tour takes place after dark, when the city's markets and food stalls transform into a feast for all the senses — lanterns glowing, charcoal fires burning, and the scent of lemongrass drifting through the warm night air. Over three hours, you'll taste 11 authentic Khmer dishes with a local guide who grew up eating at these very stalls. Unlike the tourist restaurants lining Pub Street, these are the spots where Cambodian families come to eat — small, unassuming, and serving food of extraordinary flavour. We'll walk you through the story of each dish, from the subtle herbal complexity of nom banh chok to the sticky sweetness of palm sugar desserts made by the town's oldest sweet-maker.
