Faster, Faster! Yes, Chef! - It was an amazing experience! We were a group of 10 with children as young as 13. We laughed, joked, and feasted on our creations throughout the afternoon/evening. The great part was that the whole market and cooking experience did not feel rushed, despite the most memorable phrase being "FASTER, FASTER!" Chef Thao was full of fun energy and truly wanted to share her culture through food. Come hungry because the food portions are large! The food we made (Canh Chua Cá, Cá Kho Tộ, and Bánh Xèo) have intricate, authentic flavors, yet the instructions were easy to follow. All 3 turned out great and were surprisingly simple! Definitely one of the most memorable experiences of our Saigon trip. If you love food and cooking, be sure to set aside ample time for this full experience with Chef Thao and Alice.

A Delightful Adventure with Ms. Thao: Cooking, Culture, and Fun! - * Punctual and Professional: Ms. Thao arrived exactly on time to pick up my mom and me, making us feel welcomed and excited for our adventure. * Local Market Exploration: She took us to a bustling local market, introducing us to an array of spices, vegetables, fruits, and seafood. Her detailed explanations of each item were fascinating, making us feel like locals. She also recommended local coffee selections and restaurants for us to explore. * Cooking Fun: Ms. Thao had everything ready for us to cook. We made delicious egg coffee, followed by four amazing dishes: Pineapple Braised River Fish, Green Mango Salad, Coconut Pancakes, and Banana Coconut Dessert. Her patient guidance and detailed instructions made it easy for us to follow along. Ms. Thao’s friendly and approachable nature made us feel at ease. Her enthusiasm and dedication to sharing her culture and culinary skills were evident throughout the day. If you’re in Ho Chi Minh City, don’t miss out on Ms. Thao’s cooking class! Her warmth, expertise, and the delicious food she teaches you to make are absolutely worth every moment. It was the highlight of our trip!

Six great things about Vietnam Flavour - Six great things about Vietnam Flavour • A motorbike ride to a local market, where herbs, vegetables and flavors were inescapable. • Rolling a flower into a spring roll. • A garden tour to explore more greens. • Caramelizing local flavors for a slow-cook pork dish. • Fish soup better than pho! • Cooking with Ms Thao is like playing violin with my brother — Having fun and bonding over something we both enjoy. She makes cooking fun!

Great experience - highly recommended - Great experience - highly recommended. Chef was very welcoming and started with an educational market visit. Cooking experience was efficient and fun. Depth of knowledge Chef had was obvious and she conveyed as much as she could to the class. Individual, friendly interactions and wonderful dishes made this a memorable experience. Nice venue and even made sure I got a proper ride home.

Fun and informative - This was great fun. The walk through the market took us down corridors we wouldn't have gone to on our own and included great information about local produce and ingredients. The cooking class itself was a lot of fun: very well organized and presented and included real hands-on cooking.
