We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

Cambodia: The country that stole our hearts.
We spent an incredible five days in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I instantaneously fell in love with the culture, food, people and landscape. I would highly recommend this country to anyone/everyone.
We spent most of our time exploring the temples in Siem Reap. Nothing I have ever seen can compare to these. They were extremely overwhelming, beautiful and unique. I would love to go back and see them again.
While in Siem Reap, we also explored the local markets, did a cooking course (Cooks in Tuk Tuks: I would highly recommend this), watched an Apsara dance, explored a floating village and took advantage of the infamous Pub Street.
Alternative Angkor: Siem Reap beyond the temples
The Temples of Angkor are an iconic symbol of Southeast Asia and rightly Cambodia's top attraction. But Siem Reap, gateway to Angkor, offers much more than temples and is emerging as an activity centre for the Mekong region. With microlight flights, ziplining, cooking classes, horse-riding, the circus and more, there is plenty to keep temple-weary travellers occupied.
1- Ziplining among the gibbons
Go ape on a jungle-canopy zipline adventure that offers the opportunity to glimpse some recently released gibbons in their natural habitat. Flight of the Gibbon Angkor (treetopasia.com) operates 10 ziplines linked together by wooden ‘sky bridges’. The highest point of the course reaches to 50m, with views as far north as the holy mountain of Phnom Kulen. The safety standards here are world class: a monkey business without the monkeying around.
2-Microlight flights over Angkor
For the ultimate bird’s-eye view of the temples of Angkor, take to the skies in a microlight with Above Angkor (aerocambodia.com). There is a range of panoramic flights on offer, including viewing the temples of Roluos (the early Angkor capital of Hariharalaya) and the floating villages of Tonlé Sap lake. Longer flight options include seeing all the major temples, and a ‘see it all’ flight for one hour over the ancient capital of the Khmer empire.
2-Quad-biking tours
Explore the beautiful Siem Reap countryside by all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on a sunset tour through the rice fields with Quad Adventure Cambodia. If you thought quad bikes were only for petrol heads, think again – here they are perfect for negotiating the dirt roads, and local children greet you like a rock star as you ride slowly through the villages. Longer rides go deep into the Cambodian countryside and include a stop at some remote, seldom-visited temples.
3- Cooking classes and tuk tuks
If managing a quad bike sounds a little daunting, let a driver take the strain and join a Cooks in Tuk Tuks culinary class to discover the best of Cambodian cooking. Start out with a visit to the local market, by tuk tuk of course, to learn some bargaining skills while helping purchase the fresh ingredients for the class. Dishes include a banana-flower salad starter, the national dish of fish amok, and a sago, pumpkin and coconut milk dessert.

4-Siem Reap by Vespa
Four wheels bad, two wheels good? Then try buzzing around Siem Reap on a Vespa, the classic Italian scooter. Cambodia Vespa Adventures (cambodiavespaadventures.com) takes visitors deep into the rice fields to engage with the local people on an all-day Countryside Life Tour. Or spend the evening tasting Cambodian cuisine around Siem Reap on the After Dark Foodie Tour.

5-Horse-riding trails
Choose a different sort of horsepower altogether and opt for a four-legged ride through fields and quiet villages. The Happy Ranch offers one- to four-hour trail rides taking in the Cambodian scenery, visiting some beautiful off-the-beaten-path spots. Some obscure temples are included in the longer rides, such as Wat Chedi, an old pagoda sitting imperiously above a sea of emerald-green rice fields.
6-Phare, the Cambodian circus
This innovative contemporary Cambodian circus comes to town every night, thanks to a traditional big-top home behind the Angkor National Museum. Modern morality tales meet traditional circus skills of acrobatics, contortion and juggling to create memorable shows, such as ‘Eclipse’, ‘The Adventure’ and ‘Panic’. Many of the young-adult performers come from under-privileged backgrounds in Battambang and Siem Reap and have gone on to entertain audiences worldwide.

7-Miniature-golfing the temples
While the serious golfers make for the Nick Faldo–designed Angkor Golf Resort, mini-golf fans prefer to fine-tune their putting skills at the Angkor Wat Putt. Most of the 14 holes are designed as Angkor temples, including petite Banteay Srei and mountain-top Prasat Preah Vihear. Pint-sized replicas are one way to ensure that children can enjoy the temples without getting tired, and adults win a free beer for a hole-in-one.
8-Shopping for a cause
For socially responsible shopping at its most sophisticated, tour the extensive workshops of Artisans d’Angkor. Here you can learn how the enterprise has helped reinvigorate the handicraft industries of Siem Reap, which were devastated by the long years of civil war. Visitors are guided to watch students recreating Angkorian sculpture from stone, painting fine lacquer and producing intricate silverware. The onsite gallery is a stunning showcase of the students’ skills and the stylish souvenirs offer a sustainable choice to shopaholics.
9-See Cambodian wildlife
For a close-up look at Cambodia’s threatened wildlife, take a trip to the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity (ACCB; accb-cambodia.org).
AMAZING Thai Ayutthaya Crepes! - STREET FOOD, MARKET + TEMPLE ACTION
Ayutthaya or the old Kingdom of Siam is the old capital of Thailand and a UNESCO world heritage site due to the marvellous design of its infrastructure by its military at the time. Holding a tactical advantage over many of its foes for hundreds of years, most of it is left in ruins now. Ayutthaya is only 80km north of Bangkok so it's excellent for day trips, although I would recommend staying at least one night, preferably on the riverside. The city is very small so it's easy to get around, get yourself a bike of some sort and hop around to the many ancient temples that will surely leave you in awe. Let the munching begin...
How to get Ayutthaya: My prefered mode of transport is taking the old school, very cheap train at the Bangkok Hua Lamphong Railway station that takes about 1.5 hours and costs ฿15($0.50). The location of the train station is next to the underground MRT station by the name of 'Hua Lamphong' and the map URL is linked as such -
