After breakfast, be picked up at your hotel for a short drive to Hai Cafe for a brief introduction to your half-day cooking class. Then take a walk to the colorful central market with your chef cook, and experience the fantastic sights, sounds, and aromas. You can interact with the local sellers and select fresh produce and ingredients essential for Vietnamese cuisine. We board the Red Bridge boat for a 25-minute cruise along the Hoi An River to the Red Bridge Cooking School. This is a chance for local river life, and your camera should be ready for endless photos along the river bank. We'll explore the cooking school's herb garden on arrival before learning about some of Hoi An's and Vietnam's well-known dishes. The cooking lesson runs for about 2 hours – the Red Bridge chefs first demonstrate each dish before preparing the same dish ourselves. The class includes a brief introduction to Vietnamese food carving (plate decoration). Take a seat and enjoy the lunch that you have cooked. Then, return to your hotel by car, explore, go shopping, or perhaps visit a local tailor to get a custom suit or dress made.
