5.00Vy was an absolute amazing guide. Before the class, she took us shopping around the immediate area in a street market and did a fantastic job of explaining absolutely everything related to how the vietnamese purchase items for making phở bò, spring rolls, bún chả, papaya salad, and egg coffee. My wife loves Bò nướng lá lốt and the butcher had those so she bought some and Vy and her team of excellent support staff barbequed them so our class could all enjoy them. Vy's class was super informative, easy to follow, and a blast! Vy is super easy to understand and very friendly and has a great sense of humour. When we were eating the meal, I often thought that I was having one of the best meals of my Vietnam trip and we have had many a great meal on this trip so far. And that egg coffee - it was heavenly. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who truly is passionate about Vietnamese cuisine. And to finish things off, we celebrated with a shot of rice vodka and a certificate of achievement. It was an amazing morning
Amazing Food
