Maya Kitchen - 09:00 - 11:30 AM/2:00 - 4:30 PM: After the market visit, proceed to the kitchen for a cooking class. Learn to prepare four traditional Vietnamese dishes (fried spring rolls, papaya salad, pho rolls, mixed pho) and the Vietnamese specialty, egg coffee.
Our instructor will guide you through the process of making fried spring rolls first.
Pho rolls and mixed pho are variations of our traditional rice noodles - Pho. These are local favorites, especially during summer.
For mixed Pho, roll up your sleeves and blanch Pho noodles, requiring hot water to soften and warm them.
Finally, create Hanoi’s signature drink - egg coffee. Enjoy the frothy egg cream with traditional Vietnamese brewed coffee. Feel free to get creative and decorate your coffee cup with cocoa sauce.
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM/4:30 - 5:30 PM: Relish lunch/dinner with all the dishes you have prepared. Capture the moments and your ‘masterpieces’ with some photos.
