More than just a cooking class, this is a journey to truly embrace “the soul of the countryside” with all five senses: the sight of vibrant nature, the scent of garden herbs, the feel of mixing batter and tending a traditional stove, the taste of food made by your own hands, and the heart — when you truly feel connected to local life

What To Expect
Can Tho
Begin your journey with a welcome drink as your guide introduces the famous Mekong bánh xèo, the Southern-style crispy pancake made from rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric, shrimp, pork, and fresh herbs. Discover the region’s unique herb platter, featuring lá cách, diếp cá, perilla, mustard greens, and young mango leaves, then enjoy a fun activity identifying their names and aromas. Stroll through Mekong Rustic’s garden to pick your own herbs and learn about their health benefits. Back in the kitchen, prepare the batter and fillings under your chef’s guidance, and try your hand at pouring and flipping the pancakes in a friendly mini competition. End the experience with a delicious dinner featuring your handmade bánh xèo, paired with traditional food for a true taste of the Mekong.

5.00What a beautiful relaxing experience 🙂 If you’re looking for somewhere chilled that represents this part of Vietnam, this is the place. We stayed in beautifully appointed rooms, newly renovated looking out one side was a river with coconut trees and the other a banana plantation. Meals were specifically made to order and delicious. The weather was balmy enough to use their lovely big pool, bikes were available to explore. Staff were friendly and accommodating. This was the perfect end to our holiday. It felt like an undiscovered gem. I don’t think the pictures do it justice.
