5.00My family and I had an absolutely wonderful half day tour with our excellent guide, Hami. There was so much crammed into it and every part of the morning we spent was just great.. We were first shown around the local market and had some of the more exotic fruits and vegetables shown to us. Hami was knowledgeable and very clear in her explanations. We were then taken to the companies headquarters by the water where we spent a very enjoyable time making our own lanterns. Ha Mi was incredibly patient and ensured that we all left with something that was actually presentable and worth hanging onto! After this, there was a very thorough cooking lesson in which we learned to make several dishes from scratch including chicken and papaya salad , some excellent vegetable spring rolls, the traditional rice pancakes with meat and prawns, and the local speciality noodles with sliced pork. I could not believe how much was taught to us in that hour, and the results were really pleasing - and tasty! After lunch we took a trip on the traditional coconut shaped boats rowed around by some delightful older ladies who led us through water palm forests . I thoroughly recommended this tour - and a big thank you to Hami for being such a wonderful guide.
