Hanoi Maya Cooking Class & Yen Thai Market Tour with Egg Coffee Making

From market shopping in Hanoi's Old Quarter
to Vietnamese dishes and egg coffee

Meet at the tour operator's office, explore nearby Yen Thai Market, then move to the kitchen to cook 4 traditional Vietnamese dishes and egg coffee, Hanoi's signature drink, with a local instructor. The class is led in English and Vietnamese, and groups are limited to 10 people. After the class, you eat the dishes you made and take the recipes home.

Pick fresh ingredients at Yen Thai Market

Yen Thai Market is a neighborhood market where locals do their daily shopping. Walk through the market with your instructor, get a close look at local life and buy fresh ingredients for the class. You also learn about Vietnamese ingredients and easy-to-find substitutes for cooking at home.

Cook 4 Vietnamese dishes with a local instructor

Start with fried spring rolls (nem ran), a national dish served at Vietnamese holidays and gatherings. Rolling them evenly takes nimble hands, so the instructor shows you the tricks step by step.

Next, make sweet and sour papaya salad (nom du du), rice noodle rolls (pho cuon) and mixed pho (pho tron).

Enjoy your dishes and egg coffee

Finally, make egg coffee (ca phe trung), a Hanoi specialty. Enjoy the dishes you cooked with seasonal fruit for dessert and bottled water, and taste some local wine.

※ For afternoon sessions, the market visit may not be possible on some days because local markets usually open in the morning.
※ The number of dishes and the added experience depend on the option.
