Can Tho Food Tours & Cooking Classes
The delta eats sweeter and fresher than the rest of Vietnam, and Can Tho has two dishes of its own: banh cong, a deep-fried cake of mung bean and shrimp, and its own version of hu tieu, the rice noodle soup whose noodles are still rolled, steamed and dried on bamboo racks in family workshops outside the city. Evening food walks take in the Ninh Kieu night market; cooking classes happen in a garden house across the water.

Food Tours & Cooking em Can Tho — Perguntas frequentes
What food is Can Tho famous for?
Banh cong, a crisp fried cake of mung bean, pork and a whole shrimp, eaten wrapped in herbs; hu tieu noodle soup made with noodles produced locally; banh xeo sizzling pancakes; and the delta fruit — durian, rambutan, mangosteen and pomelo from the Phong Dien orchards.
What is a hu tieu workshop?
A family factory where rice batter is spread into sheets, steamed, dried on bamboo racks in the sun and cut into noodles. Most floating-market tours stop at one, and several have turned the offcuts into "hu tieu pizza" — a deep-fried noodle nest — for visitors.
How much is a food tour in Can Tho?
A walking food tour with a local guide costs around €28 and covers five or six stops, usually ending at the night market. Cooking classes in a delta house run €30–€45 including a market visit and the meal you cook.
