Cambodian cuisine has absolutely nothing to envy from countries around the region like Thailand and Vietnam, which offer culinary delights of an excellent reputation. This is one of the important secrets of world cuisine that asks to be discovered! It is peculiar that many people have already sampled Khmer cuisine in their own country without being aware of it as many ‘Thai’ or ‘Vietnamese’ restaurants offer dishes which are in reality of Cambodian origin. As Cambodia’s image continues to improve, it leaves no doubt that the number of Cambodian restaurants abroad will grow. For those who would like to know more about what is on their plate, Hanuman Tourism – Voyages offers various introductory courses to local cuisine in Sihanoukville in order to allow you to cook Cambodian dishes once back in your home country.

A short demonstration of the art of Cambodian cuisine. The guests are allowed to participate int the preparation of various popular dishes. And everybody can take part in the feast once the course is finished.

This course, led by a Cambodian chef, allows the students to capture the local flavours in a better way. We start by visiting a local market where we buy some products. This is followed by the different steps of preparation in the kitchen, leading to the discovery of certain culinary secrets. Then we start cooking, methodically adding those subtle herbs and spices that give the unique flavour to Cambodian cuisine.

This course has a more complete program than the half day course, allowing guests to study and cook some of the most popular dishes in Cambodia. The whole day evolves around purchasing ingredients and preparing the meals, before feasting together in the evening. On completion the new Cambodian ‘chefs’ receive a little recipe book as a souvenir, so that they can impress friends with the flavours of Cambodia once back in their country.
