Overview

Experience Hoi An cuisine: go to the market to pick ingredients, learn to cook 3-5 Vietnamese dishes under the guidance of a chef, and enjoy a meal you cooked yourself.

Cooking is the best way to understand culture

Hoi An is not only beautiful with lanterns and the ancient town — but also with its cuisine. Fresh spring rolls, crispy banh xeo, chewy Cao Lau noodles, and fragrant fish sauce. In this tour, you don't just eat — you also go to the market yourself, choose ingredients, and learn to cook signature dishes under the guidance of a local chef.

Go to the market with the chef

The morning starts at Hoi An Market. The chef will show you how to recognize fresh herbs, choose good fish sauce, distinguish types of noodles and rice paper, and share the role of each ingredient in Vietnamese cooking.

Hands-on cooking class

At the cooking school, you learn to cook 3-5 dishes: spring rolls, banh xeo, Cao Lau / Mi Quang, fried spring rolls, banana flower salad, or sweet soup — depending on the day's menu. Everyone participates in preparation, rolling, stir-frying, and plating. Then you enjoy the results together.

Easy to combine

You can add a basket boat, Tra Que vegetable village, countryside cycling, or lantern making to make a full Hoi An experience day.
