Discover Vietnam’s Soul Through a Legendary Dish — In a Local Hidden Villa in Hanoi

Join a one-of-a-kind cooking class led by a local Culture Storyteller who goes beyond recipes to bring Vietnam’s culinary soul to life. You'll cook one legendary Vietnamese dish of your choice — from Pho to Banh Xeo — while learning the cultural stories, traditions, and regional flavors behind every ingredient. Set in a peaceful villa tucked away from Hanoi’s busy streets, this immersive workshop is perfect for food lovers, solo travelers, families, and culture seekers alike.

After cooking, enjoy your meal with a complimentary cup of authentic Vietnamese coffee — egg, coconut, salt, or drip. Every cup is as unforgettable as the experience itself.

Menu

Choose one dish to prepare and uncover the cultural tale behind it:

• Bánh Xèo – a golden, sizzling pancake, carrying the joyful spirit of the South.
• Nem Rán (Hanoi Spring Rolls) – a family-favorite dish, always present at warm gatherings.
• Gỏi Cuốn (Fresh Rolls) – wrapping herbs, shrimp, and pork to capture the freshness of the countryside.
• Bún Chả – the soulful taste of old Hanoi, once praised worldwide.
• Chả Cá Lã Vọng – Hanoi’s culinary symbol with fragrant dill and golden turmeric.
• Phở Bò / Phở Gà – the heart of Vietnamese cuisine, steaming with star anise and cinnamon.

Note: Vegetarian versions are always available, so everyone can join this journey of flavors.

After the meal, enjoy a cup of coffee – each one a reflection of culture and creativity:

• Egg Coffee – Hanoi’s sweet, creamy invention, iconic and unforgettable.
• Coconut Coffee – a tropical blend of bold coffee and silky coconut.
• Salt Coffee – a modern twist from Hue, bold yet beautifully balanced.
• Vietnamese Drip (Black / Brown) – slow-brewed, strong, and deeply traditional.
