Phnom Penh's Ultimate Street Food Tour by Tuk Tuk
Be picked up from your centrally-located hotel in Phnom Penh and be whisked away in a tuk-tuk to explore the city's best street food and local restaurants on an unforgettable culinary experience. Travel back in time at your first stop with a Cambodian noodle dish that dates back to the 13th century, served up by third generation local cooks in front of their house. Continue on to a ma and pa shop to sample 2 of the most quintessential Cambodian street foods. Moving across the city, swing by for a snack and cold beer at small restaurant run by a young local couple who have conquered the local food scene through the power of social media. Head to the famous Russian Market Area, for a guided walk followed by the most delicious, smoky, sticky, sweet pork ribs in the capital. The owner even sets up a 'chef's table' for you, so you can watch all the action up close. Make your way to the main event at a family run restaurant for a banquet of dishes with locals accompanied by a live local band. Finish on a sweet note with a coconut dessert made by a grandma and grandpa that have been sitting at the same spot every evening for decades. Wrap up your evening at a hidden garden where you can sip on a creative cocktail or mocktail, inspired by local Cambodian flavors.
