Ubud day 2

A bright and early start watching the Sun appear over the trees while we ate green pancakes and a jaffle for breakfast. We then jumped in our transport and headed to an Indonesian food market. We were shown all the fresh meat, vegetables and spices that we were going to use in our cooking later.
We then headed to the cooking class, we were given ice tea and shown round the family temple before being shown all the ingredients laid out for us.
We began by preparing all the ingredients, we used a massive passel and mortar (might be spelt wrong) and mashed up fresh peanuts to make peanut sauce. Sam got to use a huge knife to chop all the ingredients for Bali yellow sauce.
We made Kare Aram (Yellow Coconut Cream Chicken Curry), Sate Lilit (Chicken Sate), Gado- Gado (Peanut tofu salad), Jukut urab ( Bali Salad), Tempe Manis ( Deep fried tempe in soy sauce), pépés ikan (steamed tuna in banana leaves) and boiled bananas with palm sugar and coconut cream.
We then had a huge feast on the gorgeous food and headed back to the villa.
We decided we needed a break after all the cooking and spent the afternoon chilling by the pool before heading on a sunset walk through the rice fields. We grabbed and ice cream and tried to decide what to have for dinner.
We ordered some pizza to our villa and sat on the terrace playing cards. We then headed for an early night and we’re both asleep for 10 pm.Leia mais
