Have you ever dreamed of cooking traditional Vietnamese food amidst a beautiful natural landscape? The Hoi An Cooking Tour at Bay Mau Coconut Forest makes that dream a reality, offering a unique culinary journey combined with an eco-tourism experience.

Explore the “Miniature Mekong Delta” of Hoi An

Before your cooking class begins, you’ll be taken on a basket boat tour through the Bay Mau Coconut Forest. As you glide beneath the lush green coconut palms, you’ll feel a sense of peace and tranquility. Your boat operator will share interesting stories about the local way of life and the history of the forest.

This isn’t just a simple boat ride; it’s a journey to connect with nature. You can try your hand at crabbing, casting a fishing net, and even join in the famous “basket boat dance,” creating fun and memorable moments.

A Delicious Culinary Journey

After exploring the forest, you’ll arrive at a restaurant surrounded by nature. You’ll be welcomed with refreshing coconut water to quench your thirst after the tour.

The cooking class starts with an introduction to Vietnam’s signature spices and ingredients. A professional chef will guide you on how to select fresh produce and share the secrets to preparing traditional Central Vietnamese and Hoi An dishes.

You’ll participate in every step, from preparing the ingredients to seasoning the food. The menu often includes popular dishes like:

  • Pho or Bun Bo: Two of Vietnam’s most iconic noodle soups.
  • Fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon): A light and flavorful Vietnamese classic.
  • Vietnamese Pancakes (Banh Xeo): Crispy pancakes filled with shrimp and pork, served with fresh vegetables and a sweet and sour dipping sauce.
  • Grilled Fish in Banana Leaves: A rustic dish with the aromatic scent of grilled fish and banana leaves.

Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor

Once you’ve finished cooking, you’ll get to enjoy the meal you prepared. The food won’t just be delicious; it will also be a source of pride and a special sense of accomplishment. In the airy, open-air restaurant, you can chat with your friends and soak in the peaceful countryside atmosphere.
