Wonderful tour and cooking class!! - Chef Hai is indeed the GOAT 🥰 honestly though, such a fun tour - chef Hai took us through the markets, we had a great time on the basket boats, and the cooking class is so much fun. We cooked 4 dishes each, the ingredients were fresh, and the instructions from chef Hai were easy to follow. He made sure we all had a good time :)
