The Experience

Your hotel pickup at 5pm gets you to Lort Cha's house for the first tasting: Cambodian stir-fried rice pin noodles, made with the simple techniques and steps the owner walks you through. From there the tour moves through Made in Cambodia Market, a marketplace selling locally made handicrafts and silk alongside the food stalls, then to a local restaurant where you taste spring rolls, tofu, and BBQ snails before moving on to Phum Num Banh Chok for authentic Cambodian noodles with chicken curry and fish soup.

The night market at street 60 is where the pace slows. You sit on a mattress alongside the stall owners and try grilled bugs and barbecued chicken with a cold beverage, watching how the market operates after dark. Your guide stays close to make sure everything is clean and well-cooked. The final stop is Long's Bar, where you can order a beer and wind down in a relaxed atmosphere before heading back to your hotel.
