Great cooking class

We had a lovely cooking class with Sopheap. We were lucky to have a privat lesson and learned how to cook chicken curry and amok. The prices was totally worth paying for ot and we even got a online recipe book. The cooking class lasted for about 3 hours with dinner. Sopheap was really kind and also told us more about the combodian culture. Can recommend it!

The cooking class experience I had was phenomenal, the best amok I've tried in Siem Reap so far! But more than about the food, the experience with chef Sinuon made my day! Sooo lovely and kind, I would recommend it 100 times.
