Before the cooking class we met up at Bến Thành Market .
Its one of the most famous stops in Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City. We of course did a tour of the produce and meat sections and purchased items for our class. I ate some breakfast (noodles) before meeting up with the group. Here is a look at some photos from the market.
