Tra Que is a charming little village on the edge of Hoi An. The village is named after the sweet-scented vegetables that spice up the everyday meals of the Pho Hoi people. Experience a day of living and working with the local people in Tra Que vegetable village, where you will have a chance to discover the daily life of farmers. Experience the delights of the countryside, including Tra Que village, named after the sweet-scented vegetables. Interact with local sellers in the market and farmers in the gardens. Prepare and practice 4 famous Hoi An dishes.
At 8.30 am, visit Hoi An’s colorful market and experience the amazing sights, sounds, and aromas of this busy market. We will have the opportunity to interact with local sellers and learn about all the ingredients used in the cooking lesson.
Bike to Tra Que Organic, discover the daily life of a farmers' village, and then walk around the vegetable garden where farmers work on their fields using the traditional methods of hundreds of years ago – no electrical machinery here. We pick fresh saw-tooth coriander and Vietnamese mint for our cooking lesson, then taste a special herbal drink at a local home. With a shopping list in hand, we head to the local village market and purchase a range of local ingredients, including star anise, cardamom, sesame rice paper, water spinach, and banana flower.
Arriving at Tra Que’s Family House, we have a chance to freshen up before beginning our class. Working with our Family Chef, we learn the traditional ways to prepare and cook Vietnamese food from scratch.
Using the freshest ingredients and traditional Vietnamese utensils (still in use today) we cook 4 famous dishes. After class, we sit down and savor the dishes we have prepared.
In the afternoon, enjoy a leisurely boat trip and bid farewell to your host family before riding back to Hoi An. On the way back, stop at Nhat tomb and Ba Le well. The tour finishes at around 4 pm.
