Description

Bay Mau packs a full day into what could have been a simple cooking class. You start at the local market with your chef, then ride a coconut basket boat, try your hand at catching crabs, and make rice paper before you ever touch a wok. It’s hands-on the whole way through, not just the cooking part.

The chefs – Kieu, Trang, Hon, and Khai have all earned repeat customers – run tight, beginner-friendly sessions where you actually cook rather than watch someone else do it. Vegetarian and gluten-free diets get real attention here, not the usual afterthought treatment.

Hotel pickup is included, which matters more than it sounds when you’re navigating Hoi An’s one-way streets at 8am. You’ll leave full (very full) and with a short stack of recipes you’ll actually attempt at home.

Highlights
