Very very good experience! Winnie was our guide and she was clear and knowledgeable. We went to the market and got to learn about local ingredients. We made 5 dishes - beef pho, spring roll, bun cha, papaya salad and egg coffee. Everything was delicious and it was fun getting to know other people as well. Vegetarian options are also available. Highly recommend!
