On our last day in Saigon, we had a few hours to kill while waiting for our late night flight back to Manila. We decided that since we loved every bit of food during our time in Vietnam, it would be great to learn how to cook some of it. Fortunately we found a cooking school that was just a few blocks away from the hotel.
We were the only two people taking the class that afternoon which was nice because we got all the attention from the chef instructor.
Our first creation:
Beef fillet salad with tamarind sauce (Goi bo tai me)
We also made:
Sour snakehead fish soup with vegetables (Canh chua ca loc)
Caramel snakehead fish in clay pot (Ca loc kho to)
The chef instructor prepared the following for us:
Steamed rice with ginger (Com hap gung)
Dessert: Sweet green bean soup with coconut milk (Che dau xanh)
At the end of the 4 hour course, we were given a certificate of completion and a recipe book. It was a great way to kill some time before we had to go to the airport. For more information, please visit:
