Two Homes. One Culinary Journey.
Discover Cambodia through private culinary and cultural experiences in our heritage homes in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Phnom Penh is our original home—warm, intimate, and rooted in memory, regional recipes, and generous hospitality. Siem Reap is our Angkorean chapter, shaped by Cambodia’s cultural and spiritual heart, seasonality, and royal refinement.
Across both destinations, each Chef Nak experience is created under Chef Nak’s direction and designed to connect guests more deeply with Cambodia through food, stories, heritage, and heartfelt hospitality.
Chef Nak Private Home Dining Experience
Step into a Cambodian heritage home for a private tasting journey shaped by seasonal ingredients, traditional and regional recipes, storytelling, thoughtfully paired drinks, and live traditional music.
More than dinner, it is an intimate way to experience Cambodia through its flavors, memories, and hospitality.
Phnom Penh — The Original Khmer Home
Our Phnom Penh home is where the Chef Nak experience began—an intimate heritage setting shaped by memory, regional recipes, and warm Cambodian hospitality.
Begin with a gentle welcome in the garden, often around sunset, with homemade refreshments. A five-course tasting journey follows, created around seasonal ingredients, family and regional recipes, and touches of royal Cambodian refinement. Each course is accompanied by thoughtfully crafted drinks, while stories behind the dishes reveal their ingredients, memories, and place in Cambodian culture.
Live traditional Cambodian music completes a calm and personal evening.
Siem Reap — The Angkorean Chapter
Inspired by Cambodia’s Angkorean heritage and spiritual heart, our Siem Reap experience is refined, seasonal, and deeply connected to place.
The evening begins with a gentle welcome, simple house rituals, and refreshments before unfolding into a five-course tasting journey shaped by seasonal ingredients, Angkorean influences, and royal Cambodian refinement. Thoughtfully paired drinks, cultural storytelling, and live traditional music accompany the experience.
Fully private and designed for your group, it offers a distinctive way to encounter Cambodia through taste, tradition, and hospitality.
Chef Nak Immersive Cooking Class
Start at a local market, discover the ingredients that shape Cambodian cooking, then return to our heritage kitchen for a hands-on culinary experience exploring techniques, flavors, and stories.
The experience concludes with a shared meal featuring the dishes prepared during the class, complemented by additional specialties from our team.
Phnom Penh — Market to Heritage Kitchen
Begin with a guided visit to a nearby local market, where you’ll discover seasonal ingredients, neighborhood vendors, and the freshness, aroma, and balance at the heart of Cambodian cooking.
Back at our antique wooden home and garden kitchen, the experience becomes fully hands-on. Explore essential Khmer ingredients and techniques—from pounding kroeung to building flavor with herbs, ferments, and gentle heat—while learning the stories and cultural meaning behind the dishes.
After cooking, gather around the table to enjoy what you have prepared, complemented by additional specialties from our team.
Siem Reap — An Angkorean Culinary Discovery
Begin with a curated local market visit exploring the region’s seasonal ingredients and everyday food rhythms. Discover herbs, leaves, roots, and local produce, with opportunities to learn how ingredients are cultivated and used in Cambodian cooking.
From there, continue into our heritage environment for a hands-on class inspired by Cambodia’s cultural and spiritual heart. Explore Khmer techniques, aromatic ingredients, ferments, and traditional methods while cultural context is shared naturally throughout the experience.
Finish with a shared meal featuring the dishes prepared during the class, complemented by additional specialties from our team and enjoyed in a calm heritage setting.
