Enjoy a private meal in a local Ho Chi Minh home with your host for the evening, Lan Anh, and experience authentic Vietnamese life in a residential neighborhood off the beaten path. Enter Lan Anh's family home and experience the life of a local and dining on traditional recipes that Lan Anh has perfected.Meet Lan Anh, a friendly, warm, passionate home cook who delights in sharing her family recipes with guests. Lan Anh lives with her two children and her mother in a typical family house in Ho Chi Minh City. She comes from a long line of excellent cooks and is dedicated to exclusively using all natural ingredients. You can expect organic, fresh produce and high quality meats and seafood, all lovingly prepared from scratch.
Originally from Northern Vietnam, Lan Anh will share simplicity and beauty of her favorite northern and central-Vietnamese dishes.
Your meal might include a variety of typical street food dishes such as bun ca (turmeric-seasoned fish served with fresh vermicelli in broth, scattered with bunches of fresh herbs), xoi xeo (sticky rice with ground beans and flavorful fried shallots), fresh seasonal salads with green or ripe mango, pomelo, or avocado, and for dessert her delightful nep cam (purple sticky rice on yogurt). The menu will vary based on the season.
As an alternative to her street food style menu Lan Anh can serve a more traditional family-style meal which would include a vegetable soup, a fish or meat main dish and steamed rice.
Depending on the time of day Lan Anh’s teenage children might join you at the table – they can’t resist their mother’s cooking!
