Nestled in the serene landscape of riverside orchards, participants will have the opportunity to hand-pick fresh vegetables, uncover the stories behind each variety, and prepare rustic ingredients from the countryside. They will also learn to create golden, crispy bánh xèo — a culinary emblem of the Mekong Delta.

This experience goes beyond a mere cooking class; it is a journey to fully engage with “the soul of the countryside” through all five senses: the sight of vibrant nature, the aroma of garden herbs, the tactile experience of mixing batter and using a traditional stove, the taste of self-made dishes, and the emotional connection to local life.
