Troc's kitchen and cooking class

One of our favourite experiences so far in Vietnam! Troc is the star of the show, carefully explaining all of the Vietnamese techniques and flavours, while delivering laughter and skill throughout. In Phu Quoc, where decent local food can be hard to find in the touristy areas, the meal you cook will very likely be the best thing you eat on the island! Leaving we felt part of the family rather than customers who had just paid for an experience and meal.

I had a fantastic time learning how to cook Vietnamese with Troc! Due to unexpected circumstances (4 last minute cancellations) I was the only one for the class, but he kindly agreed to run it anyway when usually the minimum is 2. We made four super yummy dishes (chicken lemongrass noodle salad, spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes and caramelised fish). We enjoyed an authentic coffee and also a very tasty local beer!Troc is super approachable and keen to share his love for Vietnamese cuisine. I learnt a lot of stuff - in his class you don't just watch, you also practice - and can't wait to try the recipes at home - nothing had super fancy ingredients so definitely adaptable to a European pantry. The class is excellent value for money and I strongly recommend it. Troc even recommended an "off the beaten track" restaurant for us to try on the Island... And helped us order our food in the evening. So kind!!!!

A very good food experience! Troc is very flexible and has options for pescetarians and vegetarians. Absolutely recommend!
