The restaurant is located on #67 Street 240, right behind the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. See the location.

What are the qualifications of the manager and the teacher/cook?

The school manager has experience as the proprietor of the Cambodian restaurant frizz. The restaurant has been running since January 1 2004 and has gained a reputation for providing genuine, traditional and tasty Khmer food.

The school's instructor Li Heng (nicknamed 'Lucky') is - although quite young - a very enthusiastic and experienced chef. He is passionate about food and Cambodian cuisine and very friendly, as you will learn while taking part in the cookery class.

His English is excellent so there will be no language problems.
