A Thai cooking class and Thai cultural exchange program took place on Saturday, January 18 at Tsunohazu Chiiki Center.

Thai Cooking Class

During the morning session, we gathered into groups and made four dishes as the Thai instructor explained how to prepare them. We made four dishes: black soy sauce ramen noodles, coconut grilled pork, som tum (papaya salad), and tapioca coconut milk.

We also enjoyed three types of Thai teas to suit each dish. The happy smiles of the participants enjoying the foods they prepared themselves left a deep impression.

Thai Cultural Exchange

During the afternoon session, a Thai instructor taught us how to greet each other in Thai. We also watched two types of Thai dances, and played a jan-ken game. Since the jan-ken winner was allowed to pick a Thai souvenir as a prize, it was very exciting.
