A Very Fun Cooking Class!

Our instructor, Vy, was wonderful and made the class a lot of fun! Her English was perfect, so it was very easy to understand her explanations and instructions. Shopping at the local market while listening to Vy’s explanations was very interesting. It was a great way to learn about the local ingredients and food culture. The dishes we made were delicious, and I also really enjoyed interacting with the other participants in the class. One thing to be aware of is that the cooking area was very hot and humid, which was not comfortable. We also had to stand for about two hours while preparing the food. Vy did tell us that we could sit down if we needed to, but everyone seemed to feel a little hesitant and ended up standing throughout the cooking session. So, if you take this class, don’t hesitate to sit on one of the nearby chairs and drink some water when you need to. There is no need to push yourself. The meal itself was served upstairs, where the air conditioning was on and it was nice and cool. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable cooking class. I highly recommend it!
