Vietnamese cuisine is varied and wonderful. Long touted for its use of fresh ingredients, minimal use of dairy and oil, and complementary textures, Vietnamese cuisine balances fragrance, taste and color. This tour gives a practical introduction to Vietnamese cooking and is highly specialized for guests interested in regional cuisine.
Upon arrival in Ho Chi Minh City -- nirvana for foodies in southern Vietnam -- you'll visit the local market. An executive sous chef accompanies you and introduces you to a range of regional fruits and vegetables. The atmosphere of the market is unmatched, as customers haggle with vendors over an endless display of the freshest spices, fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and seafood.
Continue to a culinary center for a practical demonstration of Vietnamese cooking. Alongside professional chefs, you will discover the art of Vietnamese gastronomy. You'll learn about typical National dishes, dining etiquette, and how to use chopsticks before sitting down to your culinary creation.
Savor your creations in a relaxing ambience. The chef is available during lunch to comment on Vietnamese cuisine and food preparation.
Head back to Phu My by motorcoach, taking home a handbook with recipes so you can recreate your favorites long after you return home from your travels.
Notes:
Travel time to Ho Chi Minh City is approximately 90 minutes each way.
