we are back in Chiang Mai one of our favorite cities in Thailand and home to some of the
most beautiful temples mountains and delicious food but we won't just be eating today we
are going to learn how to recreate some of Thailand's most famous dishes and we are lucky
to have GetYourGuide sponsoring this video so we'll be taking you on their highly rated
authentic Thai cooking class and farm visit tour so sit back and enjoy a fun cooking day
with us
so this seems to be the first stop of our tour today we are at the wet market i think
Ann is going to show us some of the ingredients that we will be using in the cooking class
today we have two type of lemongrass first type this one in my hand is for eating and
another one is for mosquito spray is red lemongrass red one are stronger do you know that about
the lemongrass that they're two different kinds oh but it makes sense because the sprays
are so strong smelling yeah they must be a different one learned something new today
where's the oyster sauce this one this brand yeah you remember when we were in Canada i
refused to use any other kind of oyster sauce except for this one we went all over Calgary
trying to find this brand and there was only one place that sold it like Thai people have
this in their house this in the house the fish sauce that she mentioned this one it's
in every Thai's kitchen so we've never been to this particular market before in Chiang
Mai because it's a little bit outside of town but it is very clean they have like a fruit
section a dry good section and then the meat section is kind of like hidden away in there
so you don't really smell the strong meat smell so Ann didn't really go through the
vegetables and these fresh herbs yet because they have a farm at the cooking school so
i think we're going to go through those ones when we get there
we are here we are at Grandma's home cooking school this place is beautiful this is the
nicest cooking school i have ever been to yeah it almost feels like a resort a resort
yeah
this menu when you guys choose already and our maid the housekeeper will take your order
this is the most strategic part of the cooking class we need to cook different things so
we can try not just seven things then we can try 14 things in total maximize yeah maximize
the value i'm gonna do hot and sour soup which is tom yum
good choice and we we both do mango sticky rice i guess and refreshment "cha yen" for
me Thai milk tea we're good i think this is pretty good good selection that's a good looking
menu we're gonna be so full today we're gonna be eating so much don't worry we have a doggy
bag ah okay take away okay later i'm going to devour all of this no doggy bag for me
we're going to the garden first we are so we need to put the farmer's hat on
so this cooking school usually does do smaller groups but today our group is extra small
there's only four of us it could be because it's a weekday but also because Chiang Mai
is still not super busy yet i think we're going to go get some eggs oh yeah fresh off
the chicken ass nice way to put it and now we have the eggs over here ooh still nice
and warm do we take them all you can grab them it's okay yes please please we have to
take them out because every day every day they lay the eggs so we don't want them to
break the egg that's one of the reasons we want to break the eggs ourselves
you will in pad thai wow so many eggs how many you get a day all depends 30 or less
wow daily
there's still chicken poo on there how fresh is that it's yummy
dear one more please okay oh look who got out
you want a house like this yeah or you can just go you know into your garden to shop
for herbs and vegetables pick anchan flowers butterfly pea flowers to make tea dear can
you please pick up like three of them each person three flowers for your decoration big
ones are nice when you decorate will look fantastic
you know you can eat it fresh did you know that no
does it tastes like anything
wow
it's like yeah i think it is an organic farm yeah that's why you have a lot of bugs on
all the plants and trees what's this culantro oh my favorite you can try this with the papaya
salad also
you look super happy this is so fun i love gardens and picking your own herbs holy basil
we have two red red and green okay this goes into the real Thai national dish all right
pad grapow
spicy
so your first dish is we're making the khao soi well i'm making the khao soi curry paste
and you're making the green curry paste first
all Thai men can cook make omelette you mean no Thai men are very good at cooking that's
true we're just lazy to cook but we're good

guys
thank you
looks good
it smells so delicious should we try each other's dish first
yeah let me try yours first
this is pretty damn good you did a great job good job we have done a few cooking classes
but this one is quite different with the different environment in different settings is quite
pleasant and i think Ann is very knowledgeable and she speaks really good English so she
can explain everything really well before i moved to Canada i took a few cooking classes
just to make sure that i can make my own Thai food so i don't feel homesick what's our next
dish pad thai
which is a thai national dish like which is pad thai but remember one thing the pad thai
needs to be dry traditional pad thai is not mushy and wet
if you knock when you cook means food delicious if you quiet then something wrong for sure
you have to take action
the louder the yummier
yeah how much would it cost in Switzerland yeah i think the vegetarian one will be around
800 900 baht but with shrimp probably 1000 baht
well i guess my 500 baht pad thai is cheap
okay so extra
okay voila look at that come on
oh
i can't wait to eat this i should probably cook mine
your garnishing wins with extra help though extra help okay but the taste test the taste
okay taste test is most important
yours tastes burnt oh really
it tastes like uh gasoline it's like
just the aftertaste it's a little burnt okay well if we open a restaurant you can make
the tom yum and i can make the pad thai yeah we'll be rich oh i was gonna take yours but
i guess i should finish mine so after pad thai we really got cooking we made our curries
and also the spring rolls so mine is a khao soi i have to actually garnish it put this
khao soi chicken put this on top get some of this you cannot come to Chiang Mai and
not have khao soi look quick quick garnish and these are vegetarian spring rolls there's
like tofu inside but we made these ourselves and they look perfect
their food looks okay too
it's okay just okay yeah yeah absolutely
this khao soi looks legit though i think the homemade curry paste really makes a big difference
this is really good khao soi better than any khao soi you had in Chiang Mai so far we actually
just went to Khao Soi Mae Sai yeah the popular one i feel like this is comparable oh let
me try
can you hear the crunch everything is so good so most of the cooking class if not all the
cooking class in Chiang Mai they give you a recipe book to take home but here at grandma's
cooking school they actually made it e-recipes so we just have to scan this and we can download
all of the recipes we always keep those recipe books i think we've done three cooking classes
in the last 10 years probably i think i would definitely use the khao soi recipe this is
a really good one and the pad thai you know what time it is mango sticky rice
it's your favorite too it is my favorite everybody's favorite you know a lot of people first time
they come to Thailand they see blue rice and they don't want to try and when they come
to class now they try because they know it's from flowers
you also want some sesame seeds yes please there you go thank you wow so we're having
our last two items now the papaya salad and the mango sticky rice this is a lot of food
i think if you want something with less courses you can consider the morning class or the
afternoon class those ones are like half day and it's only five courses which is still
a really really fun day i think overall this was one of the best cooking school experiences
for us we have done another one before but it was like in the old town yeah this is like
a totally different setting and it feels relaxed yeah it's beautiful it's kind of like cooking
in an open space i love that they have their own garden their own chicken farm that we
went to pick the eggs ourselves i think that's pretty cool so the tour that we did with the
whole day course was only 40 USD per person and we got picked up at the hotel at 8 30
and we'll be dropped off now so we'll be there before 3 30 it was really really fun and we
do recommend you trying out this cooking class if you come to Chiang Mai and if you want
to do the same tour we'll put the link in the description box below we hope you enjoyed
cooking with us today as always thank you so much for watching and have a wonderflo
day we'll see you in the next one bye-bye bloopers do you think they use the chicken
from there
i don't know
she didn't pick up any chicken when we were at the market this way please this one we
have tomatoes and this is uh we call the wing oh no what did you do
you
