Central Vietnam is famous not only for its wonderful sceneries but also its food. The food is good because they are being prepared by talented and experienced chefs and cooks and also mostly due to the fact that the ingredients are good and freshly from the farm.

Tra Que Vegetable Village supplies the whole town and even the neighboring towns with almost all vegetable needed in preparing most Vietnamese dishes. That is why it’s no surprise if they even have festival on the 7th day of the first lunar month every year to thank the deity for bountiful crops and pray for another prosperous year.

You will get to Tra Que village by bicycle. It’s just a kilometer away from Hoi An old town. Riding on a bicycle away from the city in the morning can be refreshing and the scenery on the way to this small village is amazing.

Locals will teach you how to make their very own “Tam Huu” spring roll which is primarily made from vegetables planted and harvested in Tra Que Village. Cao Lau, the Hoi An’s specialty dish, will definitely be on the list of the food you will learn to prepare and cook during this cooking class. Aside from these two famous and delicious foods, you will learn how to make and cook Quang noodle and Banh Xeo.

You will engage with the local people and learn to appreciate more whatever you have and be thankful for people like them you take care of vegetables and make sure they will get in time to be in your dining table every time you are hungry.

After almost a day in Tra Que Village, you should be able to prepare and cook at least 4 Vietnamese dishes when you get back to your home country.
