We really enjoyed the cooking class. It was entertaining and we learned a lot - a combination which is often hard to reach.
Large, spacious, and bright kitchen. Everything was perfectly prepared—the food, the dishes, the pans. Chef Van confidently guided us through the dishes. Highly recommended!
Our small class was slightly delayed but the school went above and beyond to accommodate us. The food was enjoyable and our instructor was engaging. 100% recommend. We will be back.
Really enjoyed the class and the very tasty food we cooked!
Our family (three of us) enjoyed our time and good we cooked in class very much. Our teacher and the supporting staff were knowledgeable and patient in sharing and showing us how to prepare and cook the food on the menu. The experience in class far exceeded our expectation. We would highly recommend this class to our friends and anyone who consider visiting Ho Chi Minh City as a must-do activity.
Excellent teacher and hygiene. Never cooked before so step by step tuition was really helpful. Might even try at home now. Lots of laughter and relaxed way of learning. JJ from UK 64 and solo traveller.
This was an excellent experience from the your of the market to the cooking experience snd the eating of the wonderful food that we had prepared. Me was well organized, patient and humerous. If we were staying longer in Saigon, we would do another class with her. Definitely worthwhile
The cooking class was an absolutely delicious and fun experience. Our instructor was extremely organized and very personable. The dishes were excellent. Highly recommend it.
Loved this class! The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable, and her passion for cooking was an absolute joy. Since coming home, I’ve already cooked Vietnamese meals twice.
joined this cooking class and it was an unforgettable experience! I learned how to use knives properly and discovered so many delicious Vietnamese dishes. The chef and Van, the amazing assistant chef, were absolutely fantastic — so kind, patient, and always ready to share their tips. I had so much fun and learned a lot. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves cooking or wants to explore new flavors!
We enjoyed the cooking class immensely, very good food and very nice chef! Highly recommend
A little rushed at the market but my fault for buying a few things as we went !! The cooking was well structured and the dishes satisfying. We were all hands-on and ate the output as we cooked it.
The visit at the market was very interesting. We learned a lot about different typs of vegetables. An add on was also that the market is not touristic. This gives you time to see everything. In the cooking class itself, we learned three types of dishes (summer rolls, banana blossom salad and stir-fried glass noodles with seafood). The class was good instructed and the food was really delicious.
Fun three hour class, with recipe cards at the end. Wish there was just a little more food though! We made three dishes, and were also served fresh fruit and dessert (che) at the end from the kitchen. A great experience all up - Mi was a great instructor!
Hoa Tuc - "Poppy" - came from the owners’ desire to explore new avenues in Vietnamese cooking. Hoa Túc Cooking Class, bringing Vietnamese cuisine to the curious and passionate alike. Making great use of a historical location, Saigon’s old opium refinery, Hoa Tuc was built, designed, and furnished locally with custom-made wrought iron furniture, cast-iron lamps, and pergolas. It boats a beautiful indoor seating area with original columns, a front terrace with a Paris Metro-inspired roof, and a secluded al fresco dining section to its side with creepers and greenery all around.
Enough to make anyone forget the madness of the city while seating in the very heart of it. First, the “apprentices” are guided through the local food market to discover and gather fresh ingredients. Then, they cook together under our skillful Chefs’ instruction. Finally, they sit down to enjoy the fruits of their labor: delicious and nicely presented dishes that are easy to redo at home.
