Can I choose what I cook, or is the menu fixed?

You choose your own dishes on arrival. Your guide will go through the full menu with you — starters, mains, soups, the must-have pancake and a free morning glory stir-fry — and you pick what appeals to you.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket is accepted — a screenshot or your booking app is fine.

Is the class suitable for children?

Children aged 6 and over are welcome to participate. Children under 6 are not permitted on this activity.

I have dietary requirements — can the class accommodate them?

The menu covers a wide range of dishes including vegetable-based options. Contact the operator ahead of your visit to discuss specific dietary needs so they can advise on suitable choices.

Where does the shared transfer pick me up?

The shared transfer is one-way. Check your booking confirmation for the specific pick-up point and time, as this can vary by departure location.

How many people will be in the class?

This is a shared class. Exact group sizes are not specified, but the format is designed for small groups to ensure you get proper attention from Chef Vu.
