5.00Such a brilliant day, would highly recommend. Hung and his team were fantastic and so accommodating. We made some lovely dishes and enjoyed learning all about the fresh produce from the market. The boat trip was a huge bonus. Thank you so much.

5.00First Hung picked us up and we went on a banana boat ride through the Water Coconut Forest. It was beautiful and lots of fun. Our enthusiastic boat captains, paddled while singing Vietnamese football songs and made us jewellery out of bamboo leaves. Then Hung took us to the local market, where we shopped for the fruit and veg that we would cook and learnt lots about foods we’d never seen before. Next we were taught how to cook a delicious Vietnamese meal by infinitely patient and knowledgeable local lady chefs. Our 11 year old daughter loved the whole experience and was so proud of the yummy fried spring rolls that she produced. Our food was SO nice and it was great to learn how to create it all as a family. We had such a fun experience and can’t recommend Hung and his team enough. If we came back to Vietnam, we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Super delicious with lots of fun to prepare!

5.00My hubby and i stumbled upon this place and booked directly. It had a walking garden tour to explain the different herbs used in Vietnamese cooking. Then we cooked the dishes we picked. Our teacher was nice and funny. Taught us well and we could take home the leftovers from our dishes as well as the recipes. If you want to learn and make vietnamese dishes at home, try this experience, away from the usual youtube tutorial for the experience.
Amazing!
