Come Hungry: Seriously, skip breakfast (or lunch). You will be tasting food at the market and eating a full 4-course meal afterward.
Dietary Friendly: We can easily adapt the menu for Vegetarians, Vegans, or Gluten-Free diets (e.g., Tofu instead of pork for Bun Cha). Just let us know when booking.
Shoe Strategy: Wear closed-toe shoes. Local wet markets can be damp and slippery; flip-flops are not the best choice here.
Recipe Takeaway: Don’t worry about taking notes while chopping. We provide the full recipes so you can recreate the magic back home.
