Overview
Traditions are fundamental in Phnom Penh, a city which has historically struggled against French rule and is now developing at lightning speed. As the cityscape changes around them, the locals of Phnom Penh hold fast to their traditional cuisines as a mark of their heritage and authentic way of life.

This tuk tuk tour will take you on a delicious deep dive into this authentic culinary history, guiding you off the beaten track to traditional markets, phenomenal food stalls, excellent sit-down restaurants, and an award-winning cafe, so you can start your day the traditional Phnom Penh way.

Your terrific tuk tuk tour will kick off at a local hangout loved by locals for over 15 years. See how the people of Phnom Penh incorporate savory noodle soup and sumptuous coffee into their morning routines by sipping on both yourself, enjoying wondrous foreign flavors.

This food tour will see you strolling away from the tourist traps into a traditional wet market, where you can sample the local produce that’s in season, and select a souvenir (included in tour cost) to treasure for years to come. Make friends with the locals as you meet Sister Mao, who’ll be excited to describe her method of making her own curry paste from fresh herbs.

Soak up the atmosphere of bustling Phnom Penh as you grab a chair and sit streetside at a family-run shop catering to locals who love a classic Khmer breakfast. Your guide will introduce you to Brother Salin who’ll be delighted to dish up some freshly grilled pork and rice, perfectly accompanied by succulent pickles and a blissful bowl of soup.

You won’t forget the vibrant yellow of the savory turmeric crepes! These popular pancakes are a sight to behold and a true treat to savor. They owe their dazzling color to the fresh turmeric stirred into the rice milk used to prepare them. The crepes are then stuffed with sumptuous ground pork, bean sprouts, and dried shrimps. The chefs wrap the crepes by hand in lettuce leaves, season them with herbs, and serve them up with a delectable homemade dipping sauce.

Your tantalizing tuk tuk tour will finish up at a cafe that proudly holds the Cambodian title of National Barista Gold Medal. Settle down for a fabulous cup of coffee and savor your memories of a simply sumptuous morning food tour.
