Spa Garden and Tamarind Cooking School

This week I have had to activities of notice. Tuesday I spent on Spa Garden and had a 2,5 hour spa treatment. Body Scrub, sauna, oil massage. Everything for about 40 dollars, or 300 kr. Totally worth it.
The other activity I just came back form, Tamarind Cooking School. 8.45 this morning nine of us gathered at the restaurant Tamarind, a place that specialize in Lao cuisine. We spent the first hour visiting the Phousy Market, where we tried Buffalo tongue and heart. Really delicious actually. Then the Tu-Tuk driver drove us out to Tamarind's pavilion bout 20 minutes outside of Luang Prabang where we were taught the secret to Lao food. These are:
Basil
Coriander
Dill
Tamarind
Chili

Basil, coriander, chili and dill we used in almost all our four main dishes. We made a chili paste to dip our sticky rice in, fish boiled in banana leaf, chicken fried in lemon grass and a traditional Lao stew. Everything really tasty, even though the stew was maybe a little boring. To wrap everything up we made the sticky rise desert, which you prepare in purple sticky rice and coconut milk and top it with fresh fruits. I am so full my stomach might explode. I can't even write a decent blog post.
