What to expect

  1. Hoi An
    30m
    Enjoy Bánh Bèo (Steamed Rice Cakes), one of Central Vietnam’s most beloved traditional dishes. These delicate rice cakes are steamed in small ceramic bowls until soft and silky, then topped with crispy fried shallots, savory minced shrimp, and crunchy pork cracklings. A drizzle of sweet and tangy fish sauce brings all the flavors together, creating a perfect balance of textures and tastes. Small in size but rich in flavor, Bánh Bèo offers a wonderful introduction to the authentic street food culture of Hoi An and Central Vietnam.
  2. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Taste Cao Lầu, Hoi An’s most iconic noodle dish and a specialty found nowhere else in Vietnam. Influenced by centuries of trade with Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese communities, Cao Lầu reflects the unique cultural heritage of the ancient town. The dish features thick, chewy noodles, slices of tender pork, fresh local herbs, bean sprouts, and crispy rice crackers, all served with just a small amount of rich, flavorful broth. The combination of textures and flavors makes Cao Lầu a true symbol of Hoi An’s culinary identity and an essential experience for anyone visiting the city.
  3. 45m
    Experience an authentic Vietnamese Bánh Mì, one of Vietnam’s most beloved street foods and a perfect example of the country’s culinary creativity. A freshly baked, crispy baguette is filled with a delicious combination of savory meats, pâté, homemade mayonnaise, pickled carrots and daikon, fresh cucumber, fragrant herbs, and a flavorful sauce. Each bite offers a satisfying contrast of crispy, creamy, savory, tangy, and fresh flavors. Enjoying Bánh Mì from a local street vendor is a simple yet authentic way to experience the everyday food culture of Hoi An.
  4. 1h
    Learn how to make and enjoy Hoi An’s famous White Rose Dumplings and Crispy Fried Wontons, two iconic specialties that represent the city’s unique culinary identity. Discover how **White Rose Dumplings (Bánh Bao Bánh Vạc) are carefully shaped by hand using delicate rice-flour wrappers, then filled with seasoned shrimp before being steamed to perfection. You’ll also learn how Crispy Fried Wontons are prepared and topped with fresh vegetables, herbs, and a flavorful sauce, creating a delicious combination of crispy, savory, and refreshing flavors. Often nicknamed “Hoi An Pizza,” fried wontons are a fun and distinctive local dish that you won’t find prepared quite the same way anywhere else.
  5. 45m
    Finish your food journey with a delicious local dessert, enjoying a refreshing cup of Vietnamese tea or a creamy coconut ice cream. Take a relaxing moment to enjoy the sweet, refreshing flavors after exploring Hoi An’s famous street food. The coconut ice cream combines rich coconut flavor with a smooth, creamy texture, while Vietnamese tea offers a lighter and more traditional way to end the experience. It’s the perfect final stop to relax, chat, and savor the flavors of Hoi An.
