5.00Honestly such an incredible experience. Nhien was truly amazing. She gave us a tour of the grounds and touched on the history of her family. Her passion for her culture and food is shown so greatly and the food was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend her cooking class enough! This class was one of the highlights of the entire trip.
A fabulous visit to a unique venue

5.00Nhiem is a beautiful person. She has perfect English and a great sense of fun. She is very well organised, the cooking classroom is very well set up and the food we made was great. Combined with more food from the restaurant we had a superb lunch, and a delightful tour of the garden. A great day out.

5.00This is more than a cooking class! Nhien opens the door to his garden but also opens our eyes to what life in the region was like during the war, the resilience that some have shown and his philosophy of life. A big gap with "the Occidental way of life"! Although we are convinced carnivores, we were won over by this cuisine. It was delicious 😍
