During the tour, you'll sample beef stew with noodles, barbecued minced beef, fried rice flour cake with egg, deep-fried tofu with lemongrass or salted egg yolk with green chilli, and flan cake. To accompany these delicacies, you'll be offered coffee or tea, beer or soft drinks, along with peanuts or rice crackers.
