Rice Beyond the Grain: Food Tour and Lunch

Embark on a culinary journey like no other! Dive deep into the heart of the world's most beloved staple as we explore its versatility, flavors, and cultural significance. As we wind our way through Lucky Supermarket, you'll discover an array of rice-based treasures waiting to be uncovered. From traditional rice flours and noodles to innovative rice-based products, each aisle holds a new revelation, showcasing the endless possibilities of this versatile ingredient.

But the real magic happens at the end of our journey, when we will sit down to enjoy lunch together where you'll have the chance to tantalize your taste buds with authentic Vietnamese delights made from rice. Indulge in the crispy perfection of banh xeo (a savoury crepe made of coconut milk and rice flour, stuffed with shrimp and sliced pork), the delicious flavors of Banh Cuon (steamed rice rolls filled with a mixture of seaasoned ground beef, mushrooms and shrimp) and the comforting embrace of noodle bowls bursting with savory goodness. Many of these dishes are rare gems and difficult to find in restaurants. Each bite is a celebration of Vietnam's rich culinary heritage, transporting you to the bustling streets of Saigon with every delicious mouthful.

All participants will receive a 10% discount coupon to use at Lucky Supermarket and exclusive access to an email guide with two recipes to try at home. This digital resource will serve as your passport to continued discovery, allowing you to revisit your favorite finds or even print it out for easy reference.

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a curious foodie, this tour promises to expand your culinary horizons and inspire delicious adventures in the kitchen. Come experience the magic of rice like never before!
