Hanoi Cooking Class: Cha Ca, Spring Rolls and Free Specialty Coffee Treat

What to Expect

Roll your own Goi Cuon. Sizzle up the legendary Cha Ca La Vong.
All under the guidance of a passionate Cultural Storyteller in a quiet, leafy villa tucked away from Hanoi’s bustle. This isn’t just a class — it’s a deep dive into the heart of Vietnam through two of its most beloved dishes.

Menu

You’ll experience two iconic flavors of Vietnam, followed by a taste of its coffee culture:

• Gỏi Cuốn – Fresh and delicate rice paper rolls with herbs, vegetables, and a savory dipping sauce, reflecting the light and healthy side of Vietnamese cuisine.
• Chả Cá Lã Vọng – Hanoi’s legendary dish of sizzling turmeric-marinated fish with dill, a cultural treasure enjoyed for generations.

Vietnamese coffee of your choice:

• Cà Phê Nâu (Vietnamese brown coffee)
• Egg Coffee,
• Salt Coffee, or
• Coconut Coffee

Note: Vegetarian options are always available.
