What is Chef Nak doing right now?
Chef Nak is knee-deep in three exciting projects:
1. Expanding our Siem Reap Heritage Residence—adding a garden-to-table pavilion and seasonal tasting menus.
2. Launching a “Nutritious Journey” video series that spotlights healthy twists on traditional Khmer recipes.
3. Curating global pop-ups and chef collaborations (next stops: Singapore and Paris) to showcase Cambodia’s royal and regional dishes on the world stage.
Behind the scenes, we continue documenting rare Khmer recipes, supporting local farmers, and mentoring young Cambodian chefs—always with the goal of sharing Cambodia’s vibrant food culture with you.
