5.00Wanting to know more about how to cook my fav Vietnamese dishes, we had high hopes for this cooking class. We were lucky enough to be the only ones booked on this tour so we got a one on one class. Chef Vu was explained the main flavours of Vietnamese food and was an excellent teacher. This class did not disappoint and is a must if you are looking to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine! Going to the Ben Thanh market to buy ingredients for our dishes and the 30 minute cyclo ride around HCM City were bonuses. Highly recommend.
