Virginie Ouk was born in Phnom Penh, where she lived for many years. A mother of 3, she was forced to leave her country for France in 1979.

Since then, she has had several jobs, but has retained her taste for the cuisine of her homeland, which she has shared first with her family to anchor her ancestral roots, then with her circle of friends and acquaintances… and finally with guests who appreciate the mix of tastes and oriental flavours revisited.

In 2019, Virginie decided to set up her own catering business SISOPHON, choosing the same name of her mother’s home town in Cambodia and her source of inspiration.

Generous and spontaneous, Virginie Ouk blends modern techniques with traditional Cambodian flavours.
