What to Expect
Welcome to Auntie Cooking Class, a truly authentic Vietnamese home-cooking experience in the heart of Saigon. Start your journey with a local market tour in a non-touristy neighborhood, where you’ll shop for fresh ingredients and learn how to speak simple Vietnamese with your guide.
Back at Auntie’s cozy kitchen — where she has spent over 50 years mastering hundreds of traditional dishes — you’ll step into her world and cook side-by-side in her small but soulful home kitchen. This class is not just about food, but about connection: you’ll cook, share stories, and enjoy your meal together like a real Vietnamese family. The experience is vegetarian-friendly, deeply local, and full of warmth you won’t find in restaurants.
Come hungry for both flavors and culture — this is Real Vietnamese Cooking, from Auntie with love.
