Cooking Experience in Hanoi Half-day Tour

Morning class: 9am – 1pm

You will be picked up at your hotel and decide which local market to visit with the chef. You will stroll around and visit food sections with their wide selection of herbs, vegetables, meat and sea food, which gets you closer to the simple daily life. It will be also fascinating to observe and learn how to choose and buy the best quality of the fresh food from numerous food stalls in the market.

With the help of the chef, you will know how to buy ingredients for your cooking lesson, including herbs and spices, which play an important role in Vietnamese food. After the lesson, you should be able to go back home to prepare and cook Vietnamese dishes all by yourself.
