INTRODUCTION
Hoi An is not only famous for its old houses, small alleys, historic sites but also especial good food. It is a big mistake if you miss Tra Que village when you come to Hoi An. Escape from the bustling ancient town just about 15 minutes by cycling, you will join a cooking class, enjoy local food and relax with traditional foot massage. Spending a day of living, working, and cooking with the local people in the Tra Que vegetable village will be a chance for you not only to discover the daily life of farmers but to become a real chef. Tra Que vegetable village is located 3km north of the Old Town of Hoian. Thanks to the rich soil and unique source of underground water, the village has long been known for growing many kinds of vegetables such as basil, mint, lettuce, and coriander, etc. with which the traditional dishes of Hoian like “Quang” noodle, “Tam Huu” roll, “Banh xeo” Pancake, and fresh spring roll have gained their reputation throughout the country. Interestingly, Tra Que is named after the sweet scented vegetables that spice up the everyday meals of the local people.
