Detailed Description
Your day begins with the visit of the Hoi An market. For about 1 hour and a half, you will discover the fruits and vegetables that can be found on the market stalls in central Vietnam.
The chef will explain to you the virtues of natural products and how the Vietnamese use them in the kitchen but also to preserve their good health.
It will also be an opportunity to taste some local products which are sometimes surprising.
From the market wharf, we will take the boat which will take us to a small island which is on the delta of the Thu Bon River. On this island, there is a small village which has kept all its authenticity and where I am from.
I would introduce you to my grandmother who lives in my family's ancestral home.
This is where you will make your own rice cakes. In the shady, quiet and cool garden. I will explain to you the traditional cuisine of central Vietnam. You will prepare the dishes yourself and then you can taste them seated in peace under the coconut trees in the garden.
We will cook together 4 dishes:
Banh Xeo (small pancakes made from rice flour) Hoi An style.
Grilled pork skewers marinated in a special sauce.
Green papaya salad.
Fish cooked locally.
Vegetarian menu available on request with main course,
Banh xeo.
Grilled eggplant.
Papaya salad.
Toffee with mushrooms.
After the meal, you will go on a bike ride through authentic Vietnam.
By crisscrossing the small paths, you will discover shipyards where traditional wooden boats have been built in the same way for centuries. You will learn the manufacturing secrets of the famous mats. You will learn all about the work in the rice fields, you will see how rice wine is made and much more. You will walk in the middle of sumptuous landscapes and meet wonderful people
