Overview
Phnom Penh is a city with a riveting history of rebellion, from resistance against the attempts of the Khmer Rouge to banish local food culture to the iconography of Cambodian kings riding into battle on armored elephants. The Khmer Rouge sought to destroy the culinary traditions of Phnom Penh, but their efforts were ultimately in vain - the rebellious chefs of the city were unwilling to surrender their culinary heritage in the face of intimidation, and their recipes have been rediscovered and honored in this post-civil war era.

This terrific evening tuk tuk tour will transform your knowledge of traditional Cambodian cuisine, leaving you with indelible memories of your immersive experience in the city’s spectacular restaurants and cocktail bars.

Treat your palette to a tantalizing bowl of noodles, made from a 5th century recipe that predates the Angkorian Empire. This sumptuous dish is a local favorite and a Cambodian comfort food that the people of Phnom Penh enjoy at all hours of the day.

Your tuk tuk tour will take you to the city’s busiest roadside restaurant for a taste of three or more low-and-slow stews and stir-fries bursting with the most divine flavors. The heritage of these sumptuous dishes is intriguing - the recipes originated in ancestral homes deep in the Cambodian countryside.

Ride on in your tuk tuk to meet the family of Auntie Song, eager to serve up her succulent slow-roasted pork ribs alongside a special dish of seasonal fish cakes grilled in banana leaves from the Battambang province.

Venture away from the hustle and bustle as your guide brings you to a beautiful setting serving up the best versions of traditional Cambodian cuisine. You’ll sample dishes from the ‘Golden Age’ of Phnom Penh, including fish amok and luscious local curry.

As your tuk tuk tour draws to a close, relax with a locally crafted cocktail at an atmospheric bar. This is how many citizens of Phnom Penh kick off their evening, sipping sparkling drinks made from seasonal ingredients harvested from a landscape known for its sugarcanes and humid climate. It’s a fabulous finale to your top quality tuk tuk tour of Phnom Penh’s culinary scene.
