Cooking School at the Oriental Hotel




Today we took cooking lessons at the Oriental. We made Pad Thai, Yellow Curry, Rice Pudding Cakes, and Fried Veggie Pouches. To get to the cooking school we had to cross the river on the Oriental's own houseboat. Our classroom was in an old traditional Thai house around which the Oriental has built a restaurant and their spa. Kim and I were the only students so we got lots of attention (and food). Our teacher, Naraine, had 5 assistants - he showed us the ingredients, and then made the dish while we watched. We were then given the ingredients and replicated what he had done. His recipe for Pad Thai is definitely the best I have ever had.

We made these!
