Highlights

Our tour guide will pick up at your hotel and take a walk to outdoor market (wet market) with the chef. You will be fascinated with every step by the color, noise and the smells of the foods. Stroll around to visit distinct food sections with their variety of herbs, vegetables, meat and sea food which brings you very close to the simple life. It is very interesting to see and to learn how a local woman chooses and buys the best quality of the fresh food from numerous food stalls in the market. With a rattan hand basket, your job is to buy some herbs and spices for the cooking class (Herbs and spices are a very important part of authentic Vietnamese food). Raw food bought from the market will be washed and prepared quickly in the kitchen. Cooking methods and utensils will be placed properly on each table.

You will prepare and cook by yourself under the instruction of the chef from the beginning to the end, learning how to marinate and to spice will be the most crucial lesson.

Enjoy what you have cooked (Very big portion) the chef will taste and give a reward to the best dish. After all, a little gift and all of the recipes from the cooking class will be given to you as you leave.
