Head to the city's outskirts to Thanh Tri, a village famous for its Bánh Cuốn (steamed rice rolls), a Hanoian specialty. Your local host will welcome you to her beautiful garden house and take you to the village market, where you can enjoy the atmosphere and select ingredients for your cooking session. Although this suburban village is relatively modern, it still exudes the nostalgia of old times.
Now, it's time to roll up your sleeves. Under the attentive guidance of your host, you will learn how to cook Bánh Cuốn according to her family's authentic recipe, as well as two other dishes: fish spring rolls and Nam Bộ beef noodles. Then, garnish your dishes with a little flourish of a tomato rose. Enjoy lunch with your host, savoring delicious, homemade dishes.
