Today we are biking out to Tra Que which is a little village. We're going for a special
organic meal at a restaurant that grows its own vegetables and herbs.
Oh, wow! Can you hear the sound of the water.
This is Sam on the Waterwheel. You're a natural. If this isn't fun I don't know what is. You
should move out here and take up farming.
So this place is amazing. It's like a little organic oasis where they just grow different
herbs and vegetables. Everyone is farming and it is so peaceful and quiet and it is
beautiful. Look at all of the flowers around this.
We have a very special drink here. It is called the water wheel drink. It's made with lemon
basil seed and ginger. Let's take a sip of that. It tastes very healthy. In a good way or a bad way? In a pretty good way. Okay.
Tra Que is a small farming community village located two kilometers northeast of the Ancient
Hoi An town area.
We just came here for dinner but if you decide to visit this village you can also work with
the farmers for the day, you can take a rice paper making class or you can take a cooking
class.
If you've been following along with our recent food videos you probably have noticed we've
been having these pancakes a lot and they are delicious. I have to say that the presentation
of these ones down here looks the best.
So these here are the best country pancakes we've had. What I really like about them is
that they are not as oily or greasy as the other ones. They have a little bit of a fluffier
texture.
So this lovely presented dish is called three friends and there are three friends right
in my hand. We have shrimp, pork and vegetables wrapped around. Pop that in your mouth. Friendly?
I've got some good pals in my mouth.
These tres amigos are almost too pretty to eat.
Thank you. Easy.
So here we have our colorful papaya salad and I didn't realize it was going to be this
big. I started to think we ordered way too much food. Are you kidding me? With me here?
Too much food? I'll take care of that.
Well to sum up this meal I can honestly say this is the best dinner I've had since I've
been in Vietnam. I absolutely loved the dishes. You could just taste the freshness in every
single dish we had. The prices were really affordable. The portions were generous and
it was cooked really healthy. Nothing was greasy or too oily. It was just absolute delight
to come here and eat.
I definitely agree. I think the long bike ride out here was definitely worth it and
it is nice eating in such a quiet and peaceful setting just being surrounded by the farm.
So we highly recommend it if you're in Hoi An.
