About this tour
Spend four hours in Hoi An learning to cook and eat your way through Vietnamese street food culture. You'll visit Tra Que vegetable village to see how local greens are grown, browse the morning market to pick ingredients like a local cook would, then prep and taste three to four authentic dishes. The tour wraps market knowledge, farming insight, and hands-on cooking into one compact morning in the countryside just outside town.
Highlights
- Pick vegetables straight from Tra Que village farms
- Shop Hoi An market like a Vietnamese cook
- Prep and cook 3-4 local street food dishes
- Understand how fresh ingredients affect flavour and health
- Electric car transport included, hotel pickup available
- Sample beer and soft drinks throughout
What to expect
Start with hotel pickup and a short drive to Hoi An market, where your guide will show you how to select the freshest produce and proteins. You'll then head to Tra Que village to walk the farm plots and see where your greens actually grow—the guides explain why local varieties taste different. Back at a cooking space, you'll work through preparing three or four dishes step by step, tasting as you go. Expect to be on your feet quite a bit, moving between market stalls and farm paths. The cooking isn't complicated; it's about learning technique and flavour combinations rather than restaurant-level skill.
