Super fun and interesting cooking workshop by Kira

We have had a fantastic experience. First we visited the local market, where we bought all kinds of new fruits and tasted fresh cane sugar juice, delicious! Kira showed us how to prepare authentic local dishes, after which we got started ourselves. Everything ate, of course, and what was left we were allowed to take with us. We finished by making our own egg coffee. A perfect ending to a super fun activity. Thank you Kira!

Great evening cooking and eating!

Great introduction to Vietnamese cooking….we had an excellent guide Cha who was very kind and considerate to our granddaughter. We enjoyed all aspects of the evening- from learning how to chose fruit to making egg coffee!

Must do!

Fun experience to walk through a typical local market to buy some local ingredients. Food experience was great. Ruby, our host and guide, took the time to explain traditional foods and local versions of the food we were preparing. She was patient and answered the constant questions from our kids. Great experience and great host/guide!
