Lazat cooking class
Picked up by the transportation at 9.10a.m. and taken to the cooking class, We met lovely Ana and Syriad. We cooked Prawn Fritters, then Beef Rendang, Cucumber Salad and Keuh Koci for dessert and had an absolutely super time. It rained all day so a good day to do it. Finished at 2.00 pm so back to the hotel for a rest, before we braved the rail system to go to a night market at Kampung Bharu. A bit daunting as no tourists around at all, but we managed to find it; it is a very kocal market. I recognised turmeric leaves from cooking this morning, so I bought some, but whether they let me take them through customs is another matter. Lovely old wooden malay houses to see, everyone eats out in Malaysia. Apparently a lot of people don't know how to cook. Back on the train again and we took a walk through the park before heading back to the hotel. Very pleased we managed to buy the tickets electronically and got on the right direction home. All in all a very good day.
