Cooking class experience — learning Danbauk properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Danbauk correctly. The instructor explained why turmeric is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The complex and earthy result when you make it yourself is different.

laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack. We learned how a Yangon tea shop shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of fresh lime soda. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
