Pick up at your hotel around 8:30 to cross the Red River on the Chuong Duong Bridge, drive past the famous Long Bien Bridge, and then on a dyke all the way to a morning local market, where we taste some delicious street food such as pho, the traditional Vietnamese soup, banh cuon, a rice and grilled pork cake, and bun cha.We then go to a nearby district where many Vietnamese artists live. The mother of Mrs Phuong, one of our owners, takes you to her vegetables and herbs garden alongside the river to pick up some of the ingredients for the cooking class.
The cooking class takes place in Mrs Phuong’s beautiful house. You will prepare at least 4 dishes such as green pumpkin soup with fresh onions, small fried eggplants with herbs, fried yellow pumpkin with garlic, pork in banana leaves with herbs, caramel pork, fried pork or fresh shrimps spring rolls (nems), etc., which you then share around the table.
The cooking class can also takes place end of the afternoon, with pick-up at your hotel at 16:30 and diner with what you prepared.
We also offer you the possibility of taking only the cooking class, in which case you have to go on your own to Mrs. Phuong’s house.
