Khmer Cooking Class

On our last day in Siem Reap, we signed up for a Khmer cooking class. We wanted to learn how to make some of the delicious Khmer food we had been enjoying the last few days. We decided to go to the Le Tigre de Papier Restaurants class. For $13 we could each pick a starter, main course and dessert. Hmm...the choices were also so delicious. We both decided on an appetizer of fresh shrimp spring rolls and mango sticky rice for dessert. Then Fara made the fish amok and I chose the Khmer Cannelloni. The restaurant had prepared all of the vegetables on plates. The teacher explained how to prepare each of the dishes. We stared with chopping all of the veggies for the fresh spring rolls.

We steamed the vegetables and prepared the shrimp before rolling the spring rolls.  Next step was to make a fresh peanut sauce. Mmmm. So delicious!

Shrimp Spring Rolls.

The next step was to chop more vegetables for the Fish amok and Khmer curry. I enjoyed chopping all the veggies and making a homemade curry. Then, Fara got busy pounding it into a paste. After three hours of cooking it was time to sit down and enjoy a wonderful meal. We ended it with one of my favorite desserts Mango Sticky Rice!

We all passed the class and received certificates. Cheers to a wonderful meal with other travelers.
