What you can expect

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Visit a local market, learn to fish aboard a basket boat, discover the village of Cam Thanh, and learn to cook traditional Vietnamese cuisine during this immersive tour. A local chef joins you, revealing life in the countryside before showing you how to prepare 4 sumptuous courses in their home.

ITINERARY

8:00 / 14:00 Get picked up at your hotel and join your chef for a morning market visit. The chef shows you how to choose the best ingredients for the dishes you'll be making later on. Afternoon session is without market visit because the local market is only available in the morning.

After finding everything you need, transfer to Cam Thanh Village by boat, this village located in the southeast of Hoi An. Here, visit a local cemetery and a house built with water palm leaves before boarding at basket boat. Go cruising down small channels and experience the round net fishing (traditional net) with the fisherman’s. You can take the net up, collect the fish and the shrimp.

11:30 / 16:30 Arrive at the venue where your cooking lesson begins. You will be guided to make a 4-course meal of delicious, traditional Vietnamese dishes using the ingredients you picked up earlier in the day.

Dishes you can create include:

  • Beef Noodle Soup
  • deep-fried spring rolls
  • Hoi An Pancake ( Banh Xeo) with pork and prawns
  • Fresh spring roll without rice paper

Once your dishes are complete, sit down to taste the fruits of your labour and chat with your host as you dig in.

13:30 / 19:30 Return to your Hoi An hotel. Our tour ends.
