Cambodia Cooking Class
It is always wonderful to return from your time abroad with a
skill you didn't have when you left home in the first place - and
the Cambodia Cooking Class, one of Phnom Penh's most popular
tourist attractions, offers tourists to Cambodia the chance to do
just that. Khmer cuisine distinguishes itself from Thai and
Vietnamese cuisine with its delicate use of spices and aromatic
herbs, used to create finely-balanced flavours that run the gamut
from sweetness, to saltiness, sourness and spiciness. The Cambodia
Cooking Class is operated from the Frizz Restaurant in downtown
Phnom Penh, and prides itself on a 'small classes, maximum
attention' philosophy (space is limited to 16 participants per
day). During the full day lesson (9am to 4pm), visitors will learn
to prepare a full-course Khmer meal, as well as learning useful
tips about the blending of spices and the decorative aspects of
Cambodian cuisine. Included in the price, is transportation to and
from the restaurant; and a full-colour recipe booklet, so you can
try your new culinary skills on your friends and family once you
return home.

Language
Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken,
but English is fast becoming popular with the younger
generation.
Money
Riel (KHR) is the official currency and is divided into 100 sen.
Foreign currency is difficult to exchange with the exception of US
Dollars. Most transactions require cash. US dollars and Thai Baht
are accepted, although smaller transactions are usually done in
riel. A torn US dollar note renders it useless. Credit cards are
only accepted in a limited number of tourist-orientated hotels and
restaurants in Phnom Penh and larger towns. There are a few ATMs in
Phnom Penh, but they shouldn't be relied upon as a source of money;
travellers cheques in US dollars or sterling can be cashed at a
limited number of banks and larger hotels, though travellers
cheques are not recommended due to limited acceptance.
