Night air over Phnom Penh smells of grilled pork and sweet palm sugar. You climb into a tuk tuk as city lights spill off the Mekong’s dark ribbon; the driver threads alleys and market lanes while your guide points out stalls where generations cook the same recipes. Over four hours you hop from back-alley vendors near the Royal Palace to the smoky ribs at the Russian Market, finish with sweet roadside desserts by Independence Monument, and cap the evening with cocktails in a leafy garden bar.
