A great experience seeing how the folks of Saigon cook and procure food. Highly recommend for a few hours in your trip to the city. We had a good tour of the market, our guide was really accommodating for answering our strange questions on fruit and vegetables. The cooking class was fantastic, highly recommended for a small group. We covered local salads, spring rolls and the traditional pork on rice noodles.

+8 photosA must do on your trip to learn how to recreate some of the delicious foods of Vietnam. We were each given a work station with individual ingredients so it was fully hands on. The chef Van was professional and spoke perfect English, was great fun and positive vibes. Lots of clear and interesting information about Vietnamese food and culture and clear instructions. The group was small and we made delicious Summer rolls, Banh mi, clay pot chicken rice and banana tapioca pudding. Great place to ...read more




Excellent and informative tour of the Ben Thanh market. Followed by a short trip to the Saigon Cooking school. Here we learnt to make pork fried spring rolls, green mango salad with grilled chicken and finished with Lotus fried rice. We presented the fried rice in a lotus leave and decorated the corners of the lotus leaf basket with pink lotus flower petals.
This activity is perfect for any level of foodie enthusiast. Our chef - Oanh, took us on a tour of the market which is just essential viewing. Then onto the Cooking. Several courses (they change each day) which are great fun and easy to follow. The flavours are sublime and most of them could be re-created at home, with a little patience. Highly recommended experience with a team that will take good care of you.




Spent the morning at the Benh Tran market discovering very different foods. Then headed to the cooking school to make three dishes.
