Indigo Pearl’s Sous Chef Anongrat Meklai supervises the final preparation and cooking process. And finally, we are able to sit down and taste the feast of our labor. All four of us are proud of "our" creations, and "oohs" and "aahs" are heard all around. As an even sweeter ending to it, we are each presented a certificate for completing the Thai Culinary Course. All of us agree that we can’t wait to go home and show off our skills to our family and friends.
