Highlight of our trip - This activity was a highlight in our recent visit to Vietnam. I would happily do it again and strongly recommend it. Hung was an incredible host, providing seamless door-to-door transport and a fascinating look into local life at the market. After a peaceful coconut boat ride through the foliage, complete with some 'catch-and-release' crab fishing and some high-energy boat spinning, we began the real highlight: the cooking.
What sets this tour apart is the ability to customise your menu. We chose Rice Pancake with Pork and Mushrooms, Banana Flower Salad with Green Papaya and Green Mango, Fresh Steamed Rice Rolls with Mushroom and Pork, Caramelised Fish cooked in Claypot and Stir Fried Chicken with Lemongrass and Chilli. So delicious! The fish melted in your mouth. The fresh steamed rice paper was so interesting to prepare (and then eat). The stir fry was full of flavour. The salad complemented the dishes. In fact – all the dishes were delicious! Hung was a master multitasker and instructor; under his guidance, we prepared what was honestly one of the best meals of our entire holiday. Highly recommended!

Banana boat rides, cooking skills and delicious food. Everything you need on one trip. - First 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.

Funa and Knowledgeable experience! - My 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.
