Due to an overwhelming response, the Grand Hyatt's Chef Mum will host a second series of Thai Cooking Classes starting in November featuring three dishes per class. Hailing from Bangkok, Chef Mum’s highly acclaimed home-style Thai cuisine focuses more on the harmony among the four cardinal flavours of sweet, sour, salty and spicy than on other Thai forms. She says “Thai cooking is a creative and fun process of blending and balancing different flavours, from simple sauces and salads to complex curries and delicate appetisers.”

During each session, participants will learn about Thai ingredients and their sources, tasting different primary flavours, as well as the secret to combine them. The classes are available from 27 November to 9 January (except 25 and 26 December 2009), every Friday and Saturday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Each class is priced at $850 per person or book all six classes at $4,500 per person. The price includes a welcome drink, interactive cooking, a light meal, a recipe book and a special gift from Chef Mum.

The featured dishes are Spicy Chicken Soup with Lemongrass, Sweet Basil and Mint Leaves; Rice Cracker with Minced Pork and Shrimp Dip; Duck Red Curry; Boiled Egg served with Thai Style Mushroom Sauce; Fresh Fruit Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing; Sago Pudding with Corn Seeds and Taro wrapped with Pandan Leaves and many more.
