On our way to the night market last night we stopped at a roadside stall selling fresh durian fruit. Imagine their faces had it been left for a few hours!
The night market was incredible: hundreds of stalls selling every imaginable fish, most available for immediate cooking whether on a bbq or in the wok. There were also stalls doing chicken and beef. The group drew the line at 'ckicken arses' on a skewer, but after some persuading managed to try almost every type of food that they would never had imagined eating at home. Very proud moment! They were even astounded by the fact that they could fill Imogen's bag FULL with food, with only a 10 ringet note (equivalent to 2 pounds in the UK!)
After packing in all of the food they decided to go and have a midnight tasting session in the upstairs lobby; suffice to say they had a feast. Although I am sure the green ball of jellied goo that they ate was equally as interesting as the Durian! All are well and we are ready to start our project phase, which will last the next 5 days. Just to let you know that wifi may not be available during this time, but I am sure the little darlings will contact you on here with more accounts of their antics when we find a good hotspot.
Over and out,
Jess and Neil
At least they wont turn their nose up to home cooking now! Can I be a 'mom' and ask if possible to get a group photo of them all on the blog so we can see our little 'darlings' are still ok. Enjoy the project, another amazing experience to take in!
