Authentic Khmer Cuisine in a Local Cambodian Home

---

Bio:

Sela has two passions - adventure treks off the beaten path, and cooking. He has been serving traditional Muskovy Duck Soup (the dish that gave the place its name) to the locals every evening at his restaurant, a local spot adjacent next to his family home in a neighborhood not far from downtown Siem Reap. His secret to cooking a scrumptious meal is using the freshest, highest quality ingredients, which are often organic and always local. Running his restaurant has not only helped him improve his cooking skills but also made him realize how much he enjoys meeting new people and sharing meals together. His loving family, including his wife, four children and business partner Michal, are often part of the experience that takes place outdoors in his restaurant, adjacent to his home.

What to expect:

Market Visit:

After Sela picks you up from the hotel he will accompany you to the market, located a five-minute walk from his home. This is a local open market where Sela will show you various fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices and meat. You will buy a few fresh ingredients needed for your cooking class, if booked, and even learn to bargain Cambodian-style!

Choose a starting time, either: 11:30am or Not offered.

Note:

Pick up and drop-off from your central Siem Reap hotel is included in the price of your booking. Transport will be either by tuk tuk or car depending on availability. Please write your hotel name and address when creating your booking. Sela also owns a travel company that specializes in local tours and activities - he is happy to give you tips and help plan your itinerary.

Please note that families with young children are welcome, but they may not fully participate in the cooking class for safety reasons.

Also please note that Sela's home and restaurant does not have a western style toilet, only an eastern style one.
