OVERVIEW

Located in the charming grounds of the former Opium Refinery Factory of Indochina, the Hoa Tuc Cooking School offers an enjoyable way to learn a more in depth view on Vietnamese Cuisine. On this half day Ho Chi Minh Day trip, an introduction to different types of foods will be given by the chef at a local market and you'll then have the chance to cook and prepare the food before sitting down to devour your creation!

First: Visit a local market to learn more on the diversity of Vietnamese ingredients.

Second: At Hoa Tuc Cooking School. Listen to an introduction of the menu from the Vietnamese chef.
