Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine in a Local Home in Ho Chi Minh City

At midday or in the evening, depending on the time you select at booking, make your way to the Phu Nhuân District of Ho Chi Minh City. You'll be greeted by your host at a typical family home where she lives with her mother and two children. Originally from northern Vietnam, your host is a passionate home cook who delights in sharing her family recipes with guests; she comes from a long line of cooks and is dedicated to using natural ingredients. You can expect a lovingly cooked meal prepared from scratch from family recipes.
Feast on a meal of northern and central Vietnamese dishes. Your menu may include a variety of street foods 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), seasonal salads of green or ripe mango, pomelo, or avocado, and for dessert, nep cam (purple sticky rice on yogurt). The menu varies based on the season, and allergies or dietary restrictions can be accommodated (please advise at booking). Alternatively, you may be served a more traditional family-style meal that includes a vegetable soup, a fish or meat main dish, and steamed rice.
