"Choose Your Own Menu" from 200 Different Dishes with Market Tour

Tentang

Enjoy a tour at Ben Thanh Market where you will have the chance to see the lively activities of a traditional Vietnamese market. Our chef and your guide will also teach you how to recognize and choose the numerous herbs and the different Vietnamese fruits and vegetables. You will then go back to the cookery centre to enjoy a hands-on cooking class.

This is a private class with a self-tailored menu of 4 dishes. You can design your own menu of any 4 dishes in our menu. However, if you are making a group booking, all of you will have to learn how to make the same dishes.
