Our visit to Hang and Hong’s home was a real highlight of our Hanoi stay. Hanoi for us was full of kind, friendly people, and none were more memorably welcoming than this family. They were a delight to spend time with. The food we helped prepare was delicious, as was the experience of cooking it over open coals on the balcony, as a sea of humanity passed over the street beneath us.
We had a long conversation over (and after) dinner, filled with laughter and good cheer, and left feeling thankful of the time we had to spend in this lovely home.
Our son loved playing with Hong’s daughter, Minh, and she kindly gave him a wind up toy upon our departure that he STILL treasures, 6 months on.
Basically, we had a great experience, and I’d recommend their home to anyone who is interested in local Hanoi people, their food, and their culture.

Spending the evening with your family has been a hightlight of our trip. Welcoming us to your home with open arms has been a beautiful experience for us. We look forward to trying these recipes at home and keeping in touch to show you how we have done. The dinner was amazing and the company was even betterJ. We will always remember these moments and thank you for making our honeymoon something we will never forget. With love.

Our cooking class with Hong and Hang was the highlight of our stay in Hanoi! With expert guidance we created an authentic Vietnamese feast, including bananablossom salad, char grilled catfish and fried spring rolls. We enjoyed getting our hands dirty learning all the recipes, and even had the chance to cook on a charcoal bbq off the edge of the balcony! The food was all to die for, and we left the night with completely stuffed bellies, but what impressed us even more than the food was how open and welcoming our hosts were.
Arriving in a brand new country can be overwhelming, but Hong and Hang make you feel like you’re at home. In fact, the night that we had booked our cooking class happened to be Hang’s daughter’s birthday and they invited us to join their family celebration, complete with birthday cake!
I would highly recommend this class to anyone who loves food, and would like to fully immerse themselves in authentic Vietnamese family and culture. We can’t wait to try out all our new Vietnamese recipes back home in Sydney.

Thank you Hong & Hang!!
