Here’s an overview of your activity
Spend a few hours among local people and experience their daily life. Learn how to cook a Vietnamese dish and enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Start your experience with a short ride to my home, located in Song Phuong Village, one of the most famous vegetable villages in Hanoi surroundings. Upon arrival, we'll visit a local fresh market. I'll show you how to choose the best ingredients that we need for our cooking lesson, but also take a stroll to admire the colorful and the variety of products.
Next, will take a tour around the vegetable fields, where local farmers grow from exotic fruits to common vegetables. If you want a hands-on experience, they are more than happy to hep them and feel free to ask them more about the cultivation techniques & lifestyle, they are ready to tell you everything!
After finishing our tour, it's time to go learn something and start the cooking class. I'll guide you through the process and I'll ask all of your questions. Once our lesson is over, sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor together with your friends or family. Sip cold local beers or have a glass of wine, as you wish.
At the end of your experience, I'll give you helpful recommendations and call an Uber taxi for you. I'll make sure you arrive safely back to your hotel, don't worry.
If you have any food restrictions or preferences, please let me know. I can always personalized this experience for you.
