“The hotel pick-up via tuk-tuk was seamless and we were pleasantly greeted by Kong on arrival. Very inspired by their market garden, and how a lot of the fresh ingredients were directly sourced from there. The staff were attentive and easily approachable to answer questions. Sorya was a patient teacher and very personable. Wished we could pack her in our suitcase to continue teaching us how to buy fresh ingredients and to reproduce Cambodian food at home. 😅”
