Why navigate the traffic-choked streets of Siem Reap trying to find the city’s most delicious morsels yourself when you can have a Vespa adventure? Climb behind a guide from Vespa Adventures and zoom to local spots where authentic Khmer food and drink is plentiful. Sip cocktails at a chic bar and learn a little about Cambodia’s history, before visiting a shrine where locals wish for life’s essentials.
Now you’re ready to zigzag to the night markets to sample tasty local dishes and, for those with a strong stomach, delicacies like grasshopper, water beetle, frog, snake and buffalo. Enjoy a sit-down dinner at an open-air restaurant then finish the evening with a palate-cleansing rice-wine tasting, complete with a little keepsake bottle of the heady brew to take home.
