As the title suggests, it is only a demonstration. There is some hands on but most of cooking is done for you. We were fortunate to have only the 3 of us in the group, so we contributed to each step. The food cooked was traditional and very tasty. The venue was beautiful set in the rice fields. On the way we stopped at a Batik and silver manufacturer. Prices were so over the top. Our guide was brilliant. He allowed us to stop wherever we liked to take photos and he was a wealth of knowledge. Would I do it again? Yes.

The cooking was absolutely amazing and tasted BEAUTIFUL. Possibly the best food I've eaten. The ladies were beautiful and it was a real hands on experience. Our tour guide (guy who picked us up from our hotel) was kinda scary, pushy and kept pressuring us to book more tours with him. I was just with my Mum so felt a little vulnerable.

The cooking demonstration was good but there was no need to be picked up so early and didn't appreciate being dragged off to other places._br/_ Also it would have been nice to know that we were going to be treked throught rice fields before hand. Not a good thing if you have a bad knee and this only made it worse!_br/_ The view and surroundings where the demonstration occurred was great._br/_ Overall, the demonstration was great but the rest was very disappointing.
