OWNER’S TESTIMONIAL

Club Owner’s First Anantara Vacation Club Experience is the Sweetest
 

Anantara Vacation Club Mai Khao Phuket could not have been more perfect for Jade Owner Yuko Shum and her family’s first Anantara holiday. More than the quality time they’ve spent at the resort, it was the activities, specifically the Thai cooking class at Chaam, and the resort’s accommodating staff that made her family’s gastronomically inspired trip that much sweeter.

Aside from taking home unforgettable memories with her equally delighted husband and two children, Yuko took home something she could not have easily experienced from a different vacation: the fine art of cooking a superb Tom Yum Goong.

  
 
“I really enjoyed Spice Spoons Thai cooking class by Chef Lee which involved making four dishes from The Spice of Siam menu. I never thought I could learn how to cook Tom Yum Goong soup, and now I can! It was really quite simple, but the key to its goodness is in the balance of the flavours – sweet, sour, and spicy. Chef Lee teaches you how to do this. But, for me, the most interesting thing I learned was the phrase “mise en place”, which you don’t learn from reading recipe books.


 
  I also learned how to hold and use the knife the western cooking way, which is totally opposite from the Japanese way I had learned. Many things are different but they all make sense in their own culture and cuisine.

So I would say this cooking class teaches you more than Thai cooking! Next time, I’d like to take the chef’s western cooking class, especially pizza dough-making. The pizza at Chaam was amazing! I have to know the secret of that, too!

I would certainly recommend all of you to take this cooking class! My husband also enjoyed watching the cooking class, and of course he loved the tasting activity afterwards. I’m sure my husband, at first, felt that “cooking class = women’s stuff”, but after this experience, he still talks about how impressive the cooking class was!

The staff was very friendly, especially in the Kids Club. Our children loved staying there which helped us parents have a relaxing time!

 
 

I can certainly tell that all the staff were well-trained. For example, we inquired, on very short notice, about a recommendation for a good Thai local restaurant outside the resort, and they recommended a fantastic Thai restaurant called “Kin Dee” just 15 minutes away. It was exactly what we were looking for -- having dinner almost right in the jungle! They not only kindly reserved the table and arranged the taxi for us on time, but a buggy was waiting for us in front of the villa to send us to the lobby with umbrellas as it was raining. Our children were saying ” khob khun kha” (thank you) all the time!”
