Highlights
  • Phnom Penh - Perhaps one of the most storied capital cities in the world, Phnom Penh and risen and fallen multiple times since it was first established in the 5th century. The bustling city you see today, developing at warp speed and home to over 2 million people, was a very different place just decades ago – and locals still prefer their traditional way of life.

Those traditions are still strong, and best seen exploring our vibrant local streets in the morning. We’ll travel through the city by tuktuk and visit at least 6 stops where we’ll meet the makers, watch our food prepared, and experience how the locals spend their morning.

Visit our favorite neighborhoods in Phnom Penh, eat our favorite foods, try how we like our coffee, and walk away with a souvenir on us! This is your chance to kick of your day like a local, with a local!

  • Noodle sry - Coffee & Noodles: Start your morning at a favorite local hang-out that’s been serving the neighborhood breakfast for over 15 years. Sip on a selection of local coffee served alongside a bowl of savory noodle soup.
  • Saint 300 - Local Wet Market: Stroll through a bustling open-air wet market, try what’s in-season, and walk away with a handmade souvenir…on us! Along the way, meet Sister Mao who sources freshly grown herbs to create her own fresh curry paste.
  • បាយផ្ទះកែង292 - Pork & Rice: Visit Brother Salin and his family-run shop that serves up a classic Khmer breakfast. We’ll grab a plastic chair and sit street-side for some freshly grilled pork & rice served with homemade pickles and a rich bowl of soup.
  • ស្រី នាងលក់បាញ់ឆែវ - Savory Turmeric Crepes: These popular savory crepes are made with rice milk and turmeric, which give them their vibrant yellow color. Then they’re stuffed with ground pork, bean sprouts, and dried shrimp before we wrap them by hand with lettuce and local herbs. Don’t forget the homemade dipping sauce!
  • kompi coffee គម្ពីរកាហ្វេ - Award-Winning Coffee: Finish with a signature coffee recipe that won this hip cafe the National Barista Gold Medal in Cambodia! The tour will end at the cafe, which is within walking distance to the Russian Market. Your guide can suggest how to get to your next destination.

an authentic experience of Cambodia - Seavyi was a terrific tour guide! We a great time. I can't believe she packed in so many interesting stops. The food was delicious and I learned a lot about Cambodian dishes. We ate at the favorite places of the locals, so it was a very authentic experience. Seavyi is super knowledgeable and fun to be with. I am ready to go on the dinner tour!

Our guide made the tour special - Our guide, Neara, was excellent. She speaks excellent English and really knew the vendors, and provided good background info on the various foods. The stops were interesting, and provided more than we could really eat. We especially enjoyed the walk through the local market. Plenty of opportunities for pictures.
