"Cook like a Professional Chef"

Chef Hung gave us a true insight into shopping at a local fresh market. He told us about the many different food items, some familiar to Westerners, some that were not and explained what and how they are used in Vietnamese cooking. We returned to the Blue Butterfly Restaurant where we were shown and then prepared and cooked four very tasty dishes which we later ate. There is no doubt that Chef Hung is both a talented chef and teacher and we learned a great deal - even though we cook a lot ourselves at home - we learned new skills and will use Chef Hung's recipes when we return home to England. A great experience and one we would recommend to other travelers - Thank you Chef Hung!

"Superb"

Book it! This is an excellent cooking class; First we went shopping for ingredients through a local street market where the instructor gave a background on the food that was being sold, with a small tasting of the local delicacies on offer. Next was the cooking all of the instructions were explained very clearly and with enthusiasm. An absolutely superb experience which I enjoyed from the start to the end.

"Absolutely incredible!"

The cooking class exceeded both of our wildest expectations for the afternoon. To start with the space was clean organized and everyone was very professional. We reviewed the menu started the broth for our first dish, and then the chef took us all to the market via a wonderful car ride. As we stroll through the market with the chef it was very comfortable knowing you’re with a professional who had been shopping there for over a decade. He knew all of his favorite vendors answered all of our questions and treated us to a few extra goodies along the way including some dried apricots, and the famous incubated duck egg, that would be the duck egg with the baby duck inside! We could go on for many more sentences about how much we loved the experience, but to summarize it was our favorite few hours of our entire Vietnam trip and I couldn’t imagine anyone would be anything less then completely thrilled that they did it!

"Great experience and a lot of fun"

Such great fun going around the market and choosing the fresh ingredients we were about to use in the cooking class. Good range of dishes made too and our chef made sure everyone had the help they needed

"Fantastic"

We loved this cooking class. Although we have been to many Asian markets the trip to the market with our chef was great - very informative and a great experience. The cooking class was awesome. We got to cook Ban Xeo as well as our chef felt this was something we would be able to make at home. All food was beautiful and w3 learnt a lot about Vietnamese cooking. Would definitely recommend.
