Bangkok Street Food Premier Class Hit Ball Out of Park Last Sunday

After nearly two years of research and testing, I was so pleased that everyone enjoyed the food

There were the four major items on the menu for the class.

Hi Everybody,
 

My husband, Ry, and I visited a lot of places in Bangkok to research street food. 
 

In fact, the search lasted over two years, from 2024 to 2025. In the first year, we searched the streets in downtown Bangkok and in 2025 we visited a vast Food Fair in the city.

From those visits and conversations with my friends and family in Thailand, other friends in Canada, and taste-testing by my “Dream Team” volunteers in North Saanich, I finally had everything I needed to put a new class together. All in all, it was a fair amount of work!

I am deeply grateful, therefore, that so many of those who attended the “Premier” of my class last Sunday thoroughly enjoyed the food and the good company that came with it.
 

It follows my “Chiang Mai Street Food” class that I introduced about two years ago. This class has consistently attracted students and packed classes and will continue to do so this year. On Sunday, I will again host this class and, again, the class will be fully booked. 
 

Next year, I hope to research another street food location, Pattaya, the famous beach bar and entertainment center just south of Bangkok. Hopefully, I will be able to offer a “Pattaya Street Food” class sometime in 2026.

Anyway, I didn’t want to end without a little story about one of the most popular items on the “Bangkok Street Food” menu. It was the “Coconut Featherballs.” People just loved these little dessert treats, made from  delicious ingredients you will only learn if you come to the class! Needless to say, coconut flakes play a major part!

I just learned that a couple of my students now plan to make Featherballs for Christmas, colored green and red. Thumbs up for them!

Anyway, I found these treats at the Food Fair we attended this year and I was delighted! 

Coconut Featherballs were the Hit of the class

There were the wonderful, long-forgotten treats that I remembered from my childhood..

Why? Because it brought back memories of my grandmother in our little farming village in Thailand, where I grew up. She used to make these wonderful treats and I used to carefully watch her make them and then enthusiastically eat them! Afterwards, I learned how to make them by memory.

And there they were again, a flock of them, in a Bangkok Food Fair! Naturally, I had to buy a bunch that I could share with my friends and, naturally, they were not as good as my grandma used to make! But they were definitely good enough to enjoy!
 

And they were good enough to put on the menu of the “Bangkok Street Food” class, made just the way my Grandma used to make! 
 

I am afraid that my two “Bangkok Street Food” classes this Fall are now fully booked but may be available in our Spring public class schedule. Please see more information below, or contact us to be added to our class wait list.

Upcoming Classes in Our Fall Schedule

We are experiencing an unusual surge in demand for my classes. We are fully booked up until October 5. After that, we are already fully booked in four classes in October and November and I expect that the remainder of the classes will  probably also be packed in a fairly short time.

The long story short is that if you would like to book a class this fall you would be wise to book as early as you can. The two classes below still have places — although only a few —and I recommend them highly. Please click on the images to view the full classes.

Saturday, October 11: Ginger Beef & Friends

An incredible combination of Thai food flavours, all on one plate!

Saturday, October 18: Spicy Southern Delicacies

The eggplant is highlighted because it is at the heart of this unusual dish.

New spring public class schedule to be published by end of month

We do not want to disappoint our old friends or our new fans. At this time, some of you may have been disappointed to find that classes you intended to take were no longer available. That's why you should have the option to book a spring class — or at least to be placed on a wait list for the class.
