We had a fun afternoon with Viy and 7 of our classmates from different parts of the world. We first went to the street stands to buy our ingredients and she taught us Pho, Bun Cha, fried spring roll, papaya salad and egg coffee. At the end of the class, we sat down for a full meal of what we made. The kitchen is spacious and everything was well-organized. I highly suggest this activity.
