Buenos Aires Vietnamese Gastronomic Experience: Wok, Rolls & Lunch
About this experience
Buenos Aires Vietnamese Cooking Experience
Discover another side of Buenos Aires' cosmopolitan food scene with a hands-on Vietnamese cooking experience at Saigón Noodle Bar in historic San Telmo.
Before the restaurant opens to the public, join the Saigón team for an interactive introduction to Vietnamese cuisine. Learn to prepare traditional fresh Spring Rolls and crispy Nems using rice paper, herbs and fresh ingredients, followed by a live wok demonstration showcasing the heat, speed and techniques behind Vietnamese noodles and bowls.
Along the way, discover the balance of the five characteristic flavors of Vietnamese cuisine — sweet, salty, sour, spicy and bitter — and how Vietnamese food developed through local traditions and historical French influences.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy a complete Vietnamese lunch, choosing your favorite starter, main course and drink.
