Afterwards, it‘s time to relax your stomach. Our local guide will bring you to the oldest pagoda in Hoi An where few tourists go; then take a lovely trip through the countryside and see farmers working on the rice paddies under the sun. After stopping at the rice fields we will continue our trip and try 'Banh Khot' - a round pancake made with rice flour, turmeric, coconut milk, quail egg and vegetables at a famous street vendor near Hoai Square. Next, you will take the food challenge: Balut (fertilized duck egg), one of the Top 10 weird foods in the world. Egg no more, duck not yet - It is not because of the taste but because of its appearance.
