This is my first time stepping into Tropical Spice Garden. Never did I know that what awaits me inside is just magnificent. A pure beauty of nature. I was honoured to be there to be part of the launch of TSG's Cooking School on the 6th May 2011. Imagine cooking surrounded by the lush of greens and not concretes everywhere and cooking with fresh herbs and spices that is found within the area.
We were given a guided walk in the jungle rich with herbs and spices. This is a good opportunity as it would be my first time seeing everything all fresh which has not yet to be processed.
