   The participants were divided into 3 activity groups: Group 1 made sticky rice mix with perilla seed, which is local snack; Group 2 made sticky rice cake for special ceremonies; and Group 3 made contemporary popcorn which is a high-fiber wholegrain..

   The trainers explained to each group about the snack cooking, culinary tradition and contemporary snack not well known in the communities.
