Cooking Tour



The Thuan Tinh Island Cooking School
As per usual ..... the photos have not attached in order!  Oh well.......
Salad rolls

Beef salad
Again we are picked up after breakfast at 8.15am to head off for our cooking tour.  There are ten of us in this tour and we head to the market to 'shop' for our ingredients.  The sights and sounds are extraordinary as we wander from stall to stall.  Shopping done we board our boat for a 45 minute trip down the river to two smaller boats that take us the extra distance to the cooking school.  It is slightly off-putting when you know that all the meat is NOT refrigerated, then you realise you have been no doubt eating the same food for a few days now anyway!
Vietnamese salad rolls (Goi Cuon), crispy crepes (Banh Xeo), beef salad (Bun Bo Nam Bo) and beef and noodle soup (Pho Bo) are on the menu today and we make all the food including the sauces.  A taxi takes us back to the hotel....and to the air conditioning!

The shrimp were live - at least that keeps them fresh


This is not for the faint hearted
