You step off the tuk‑tuk into a backyard garden where a low, open kitchen hums with the soft clatter of woks and the bright scent of lemongrass and turmeric. Min and May greet you like neighbors, passing baskets of banana leaves and piles of fresh herbs. The garden’s trees throw dappled shade over a wooden table where you’ll chop, season and fry alongside them — not as students in a classroom, but as guests in a family kitchen.
