Meet & Greet & Local Market Tour

Your guide will pick you up, and we’ll start by weaving through a traditional Saigon market. Here, you will learn how locals bargain, handpick the freshest herbs, meat, and seafood, and explore the rich world of Vietnamese spices.

Arrive at the Kitchen & Preparation

Head to our clean, airy, and welcoming cooking class space. Enjoy a refreshing lemongrass kumquat welcome drink. Put on your apron and listen to the chef’s briefing on safety and kitchen hygiene rules.

First Dish - GỎI CUỐN (Fresh Spring Rolls)

Start gently with the art of making Fresh Spring Rolls. You will learn how to soften the rice paper and beautifully layer shrimp, pork, rice vermicelli, and fresh herbs. Most importantly, you will make the "divine" sweet and sour dipping sauce from scratch!

Second Dish - BÁNH XÈO (Vietnamese Sizzling Pancakes)

Get your cameras ready for the fiery pancake pouring! You will pour the batter and swirl the pan to create a golden, crispy Bánh Xèo packed with a generous filling of shrimp and pork.

Main Course - PHỞ or BÚN CHẢ

Depending on the daily menu, you will be guided through the secrets of cooking a sweet, clear broth for traditional Pho, or how to marinate grilled meat with rich lemongrass and garlic flavors for Bun Cha.

Enjoy & Mingle

The best part has arrived! Everyone gathers around the dining table to savor the culinary masterpieces you just created. This is a great opportunity to chat, exchange cultures, and make unforgettable memories. At the end, the chef will gift you a recipe booklet so you can recreate the dishes at home.
