Chiang Mai Province Kurzy varenia

Najprv by som sa chcel/a veľmi poďakovať personálu Klook. Z nejakého zvláštneho dôvodu som nedostal/a potvrdenie s číslom vozidla a časom stretnutia. Skľúčený/á som napísal/a správu do Klooku a dostal/a som rýchlu odpoveď. Personál bol milý a podarilo sa mu problém vyriešiť, hoci som komunikoval/a až po 21. hodine. Ak by nebolo tohto zamestnanca Klooku, túto hodinu by sme možno zmeškali. Urobili sme si zastávku na trhu a stretli sme nášho veselého šéfkuchára, ktorý nám prešiel suroviny, ktoré budeme neskôr používať.😀. Moje zvolené menu: Tom Yum Goong, Pad Thai, Khao Soi a thajský mliečny čaj. Každý z nás si uvaril svoje vlastné jedlo! Všetky prísady boli veľmi čerstvé, všetko bolo čisté a usporiadané. Tento kurz nám tiež umožnil stretnúť skvelých kuchárskych parťákov. :) Šéfkuchár bol trpezlivý, priateľský a stále na všetko dohliadal. Ak by som mala byť celkom detailistický/á, nemali sme dosť času na fotenie tejto krásnej záhrady! Túto aktivitu sme si nesmierne užili a vrelo ju odporúčam vyskúšať aj vám!

Zážitok z kurzu varenia bol skvelý, sprievodca po trhu vysvetľoval veľmi jasne a lektorka Mai vedela vytvoriť skvelú atmosféru, takže všetci boli šťastní. Porcie jedla boli veľmi štedré, odporúčam si priniesť nádobu na jedlo a vziať si dezert späť do hotela, aby ste si ho mohli v pokoji vychutnať. Okrem toho sa určite oplatí priplatiť si za klimatizovanú miestnosť, pretože vonku sú komáre a po varení je tam dosť teplo. Vychutnať si jedlo v klimatizovanej miestnosti je múdre rozhodnutie! Jedinou nevýhodou bolo, že vozidlo na odvoz nemalo klimatizáciu a personál nás v ten deň neustále fotil, ale fotografie nám neposkytol. Na e-maily ani na Facebook Messenger neodpovedali. Pôvodne som si myslel, že keďže personál robí toľko fotiek, nemusím fotiť svoju rodinu, ale ukázalo sa, že fotografie sa nedajú získať späť. Teraz mi zostáva len ľútosť!

Naša sprievodkyňa Ploy nás vzala na trh s čerstvými potravinami, kde nám predstavila rôzne suroviny. Potom sme sa presunuli do školy varenia, odstrihli si zopár listov z ich záhrady a pustili sa do varenia. Personál nám pripravil všetky suroviny, stačilo len trochu krájať, drviť a miešať ingrediencie, a potom sa začalo variť. Samotné varenie malo rýchle tempo, pretože jedlo sa nesmie pripáliť, takže bolo nutné reagovať svižne, ale určite sa to dá zvládnuť. Celkovo to bol úžasný zážitok jesť to, čo sme si sami pripravili! Veľká vďaka personálu a šéfkuchárom, určite sa sem opäť vrátim! Teraz sa môžem vrátiť domov a vďaka poskytnutému receptu variť pre svojich blízkych!

So tasty! 😍 Jia, Nene and the friendly team made it a really enjoyable experience. We could choose out of a big variety of dishes to create our own menu - with vegetarian option. The ingredients are all fresh and we could see how they grow in the garden. The cooking was very well organised and clean. Good price too, I can absolutely recommend the cooking course 😋

We were picked up in an air-conditioned van, stopped at the market to learn about the ingredients, and then watched the instructor explain and demonstrate the cooking process before preparing our own dishes with the provided ingredients and tasting them. The pacing and depth of the explanation were just right, making it a fun cooking experience. At the end, everyone gets to cook with a spectacular flame show. It was a delicious and incredibly fun time. My daughter, a middle school student, loved it as well. I highly recommend the cooking class at Rice Barn with Teacher Lollipop! I was hesitant at first because there were few reviews, but I am extremely satisfied.

Instructor was funny and engaging! We learnt 11 dishes that night and got to eat and cook at the same time. We are going to recreate some of the simpler dishes back home.

Such a beautiful experience and honestly one of the highlights of my time in Chiang Mai. I had so much fun learning how to make traditional Thai dishes and getting to understand more about the ingredients and the culture behind the food. Everything was so well organised and the whole experience felt really personal and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and I loved being able to actually make everything myself rather than just watching. I left feeling so happy, so full and with recipes I can hopefully recreate at home 😂 It was such a fun and memorable day and I would genuinely recommend this to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. Definitely one of those experiences I’ll remember from my Thailand trip for a long time! ❤️

I enjoyed the class very much, teacher Aim was really funny and nice. The environment of the cooking center was really nice and beautiful. If you book the morning class, you can do kayaking or just chilling along the water after the cooking class.

Highly recommend! We weren't in the pickup service area, so we made our way to the market on time. The chef was cheerful and kind! At the market, they introduced us to delicious foods and let us smell the ingredients for the dishes we'd be making, teaching us in a fun way! After about 10 minutes of free time at the market, we moved to a cool, air-conditioned van. Oh, that air conditioning was a lifesaver! The cooking class took place at the chef's house, which didn't have air conditioning but had about four fans. Before we started cooking, the chef even bought us some delicious snacks from the market to try! We made a total of five dishes: the four we chose, plus mango sticky rice. We cooked one dish, tasted it, then moved on to the next. I was surprisingly full, so I barely touched the curry... The ingredient prep area and the cooking area (with flames) were separate. The cooking area was outdoors, so it was quite hot. It might have been even hotter because we visited during a humid period... Still, it was a lot of fun. We could adjust ingredients to our liking, and even though everyone chose different dishes, the chef patiently guided us step-by-step. My friends and I went, and everyone was very satisfied! When it was over, the chef even arranged a taxi for us, so we got back very comfortably. The chef was great, and learning to cook and tasting the food was really enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience if you're in Chiang Mai!
