We were being picked up around 8.30am
for our cookery course so checked out just before. As we got downstairs we
discovered there was free breakfast that we didn’t have time to eat, probably a
good thing in the end!
Our first stop was a trip to the market to buy our ingredients for our courses. We made 4 dishes, these were; Vietnamese salad rolls with peanut sauce, Vietnamese crepes, beef vermicelli and rice noodle soup with beef.
After the market we took a boat trip along the
river where we prepared the beansprouts and just enjoyed the view. We even
sailed past a petrol station in the middle of the river! We then got moved from
this boat to a smaller boat and got to wear those little triangle hats and
sailed through some water coconuts.
We booked our course with Thuan Tinh
Island and it was really good. Learnt a lot about the millions of ingredients
they use and we didn’t get back to our hostel until half 2, so that’s 6 hours
of cooking fun! I was going to choose a favourite dish but I don’t think I can,
they were all so delicious, I’ll have to try them out when I’m back home!
We didn’t do a lot with our afternoon and
were picked up for our overnight bus around 6pm. This journey was around 12
hours, we watched Tangled and chilled out right at the back of the bus.
