PROGRAM DAY TRIP

DAY ONE
MORNING	Head for Lee Led, Pun Pin, Surat Thani. Welcome greeting by community leaders. CSR/Team Building Activities Shrimp Paste Making Activity Our special recipe uses yellow shrimp instead of regular, smaller sized shrimp. This will allow the shrimp paste to taste sweeter than general shrimp pastes. We start by drying the yellow shrimps in the sun. The dried shrimps are and then mixed with a touch of salt with a pestle and mortar into it begins to form a softer consistency. The mixture is then preserved for two days. After that, the paste is pounded further until a delicious shrimp paste is obtained. The locals can use the shrimp paste in main dishes and desserts such as chili paste and Thai green mango with sweet shrimp paste. The Committee will apply this information to create a new brand and packaging design for the community. Sweet Shrimp Paste Contest The local experts will be on standby to teach the traditional cooking methods to the contestants. Each team will then be asked to cook among themselves using a traditional stone mortar. The cooking method is very simple and involves adding onions and peppers, then followed by the shrimp paste, coconut sugar, and dried shrimp. The team which can prepare the tastiest dish that earns praise from the locals will be the winner of the contest.
