Hoi An market tour, boat trip, herb garden
walk, 2hrs hands on cooking and lunch.
We start the day at 8.15am(1.30pm second
class) with a
drink at Hai Scout Café – our meeting point.
Visit Hoi An’s colorful market, and
experience the amazing sights, sounds and aromas of this busy
market. We will have the opportunity to interact with the local
sellers and purchase some of the ingredients to be used in the
cooking lesson later.
We board the Red Bridge boat for a leisurely
cruise (25 minutes) along the Hoi An River to the Red Bridge
Cooking School. This is a chance to view local river life, so
make sure your camera is handy.
On arrival, we explore the cooking school’s
herb and vegetable garden, before learning about some of Hoi
An’s and Vietnam’s well-known dishes. The cooking lesson runs
for about 2 hours – each dish is first demonstrated by the Red
Bridge chef’s, before we prepare the same dish ourselves.
Included in the class is a brief introduction to Vietnamese food
carving (plate decoration).
After the lesson, we sit down and eat
exactly what we have cooked.
