Khmai Tales
In remembrance of the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge, and in celebration of the Cambodian New Year, this experience is rooted in both reflection and renewal.
Between each course, a new act unfolds. Like scenes from a story, each dish and pause invites you deeper into the flavors, the memories, and the spirit of Cambodia.
This is more than dinner. This is a tribute. A celebration. A tale told through taste.
