Amid the tranquil scenery of riverside orchards, you will pick fresh vegetables with your own hands, learn the stories behind each type, prepare rustic ingredients from the countryside and discover how to make golden, crispy bánh xèo — a culinary symbol of the Mekong Delta. More than just a cooking class, this is a journey to truly embrace “the soul of the countryside” with all five senses: the sight of vibrant nature, the scent of garden herbs, the feel of mixing batter and tending a traditional stove, the taste of food made by your own hands, and the heart — when you truly feel connected to local life
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Nov 15.
Begin your journey with a welcome drink as your guide introduces the famous Mekong bánh xèo, the Southern-style crispy pancake made from rice flour, coconut milk, turmeric, shrimp, pork, and fresh herbs. Discover the region’s unique herb platter, featuring lá cách, diếp cá, perilla, mustard greens, and young mango leaves, then enjoy a fun activity identifying their names and aromas. Stroll through Mekong Rustic’s garden to pick your own herbs and learn about their health benefits. Back in the kitchen, prepare the batter and fillings under your chef’s guidance, and try your hand at pouring and flipping the pancakes in a friendly mini competition. End the experience with a delicious dinner featuring your handmade bánh xèo, paired with traditional food for a true taste of the Mekong.
