Take a cab to Chi's home in the residential Tan Binh district of Ho Chi Minh City. Chi will meet you off the main road and you will walk together through the narrow residential alleys off the tourist track to her home. Enjoy conversation about life in Vietnam and culinary customs. An English teacher by day, Chi delights in recreating her family recipes and she will share them with you as you prepare together a simple and delicious meal.

Learn how to make Vietnam's famously delicious cha gio (crispy pork spring rolls), a staple in every home, and enjoy other dishes like winged beans and pork, or Chi's family recipe for caramelized claypot fish, a delectable sweet and savory dish. You might end your meal with fresh fruit and traditional lotus sweet seed soup before returning back to your hotel via cab.

Truly and off-the-beaten path experience and an insight into local Vietnamese life, not to be missed! Your experience will last approximately three hours and typically takes place in the evening.
