Description
Create Hue's traditional sesame candy with a local artisan, then sample chewy and crispy sweets alongside hot Vietnamese tea and take home your handmade treats.
Discover Hue's traditional sesame candy in a hands-on workshop led by a local artisan. Learn about the sweet's place in local food culture and explore the ingredients behind its distinctive flavor: sesame seeds, peanuts, malt syrup, and sugar.
Prepare ingredients, roast sesame seeds, and sort peanuts under the artisan's guidance. Watch the syrup being heated and learn how its consistency shapes the finished candy. The artisan handles boiling sugar and hot cookware, while you join safe stages of the process, including mixing, shaping, spreading, and arranging cooled candy pieces.
Compare chewy and crispy styles of sesame candy, then pack your finished sweets into a souvenir box with a personalized label or workshop keepsake. Finish in a traditional-style tea corner, where you can taste local sesame sweets with hot Vietnamese tea. Learn how tea is served with sweet treats for guests and how its gently bitter notes balance the candy's sweetness.
