හැනෝයි ඉවුම් පිහුම් පන්ති

This was one of my favourite experiences in Hanoi. The local market tour was a great way to learn about Vietnamese ingredients before heading back to cook. The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome, even if you had very little cooking experience. We made several delicious traditional dishes, and the recipes were explained clearly so I can recreate them at home. Everything was well organised, the kitchen was clean, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. I left with a full stomach, new cooking skills, and a much better understanding of Vietnamese cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious and has definitely made me want to eat Vietnamese food again when I get home. I would highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Hung, our coach and chef is really friendly and knowledgeable! The trip is not just cooking but also to really see Vietnamese food culture. Hung bring us to the wet market and shows us the side of Vietnam local life that a tourist can never get to see unless you have someone leading you the way. He treated us with street foods that we don’t dare to try on our own and they are amazing and eye opening. The cooking class is also in depth and with a lot of great and useful tips. 100% recommend!

An absolutely fantastic experience—I'd say it was perfect! From the morning market shopping session, to the pick-up and drop-off transport, to the cooking venue and the staff's attitudes—everything deserves full marks from me!! The dishes we made were incredibly delicious too haha, and I also made a lot of new friends;) It was my last day in Hanoi, and I'm so glad I chose Dine with Locals~

ජෙසී ඇත්තෙන්ම විශිෂ්ට හා ඉවසිලිවන්ත උපදේශකයෙක් විය. වියට්නාම කෝපි සහ බාන් මී මුල සිටම සාදා ගන්නා ආකාරය ඉගෙන ගනිමින් අපි බොහෝ විනෝද වුණා. ස්ථානය ඉතා පිරිසිදු වන අතර ඉතා අලංකාර පෙනුමක් ඇත. ඔවුන් අපට බලා සිටින අතරතුර රස බැලීමට බීම වර්ග කිහිපයක් ද ලබා දුන්නා. ඉතා හොඳ අත්දැකීමක්!

මෙම සංචාරය සහ ඉවුම් පිහුම් පන්තිය ඉතා විශිෂ්ටයි. හේසල් අපගේ මාර්ගෝපදේශිකාව සහ සූපවේදිනිය වූවාය. ඇය පුදුම සහගත වූ අතර බොහෝ ශිල්පීය ක්‍රම ඉගැන්වූවාය. මට හිතෙනවා මට වෘත්තීය වියට්නාම සූපවේදියෙකු විය හැකි බව. හොඳ සන්ධ්‍යාවක් සඳහා මෙය ඉතා නිර්දේශ කරමි.

Chef Hung-Pickle thought us the secrets behind making amazing pho, bun cha, and spring rolls. The tour started with buying fresh ingredients in a local market then to cooking in a gorgeous kitchen, grilling in the backyard, and even rolling up fresh noodles. Such a fun hands-on experience. Totally recommend — 5 stars all the way!

හැනෝයි හි මෙම ඉවුම් පිහුම් පන්තියට සම්බන්ධ වීම ඉතා ප්‍රියජනක අත්දැකීමක් විය! අව්‍යාජ වියට්නාම කෑම පිසීමට ඉගෙන ගැනීම හැරුණු විට, වියට්නාමයේ විචිත්‍රවත් සංස්කෘතිය තුළ ගිලී සිටීමට ද අපට හැකි වනු ඇතැයි මම අපේක්ෂා නොකළෙමි. උපදේශකයින් ඉතා සුහදශීලී වූ අතර, අත්දැකීම විනෝදජනක සහ ප්‍රායෝගික විය. මම නව ඉවුම් පිහුම් කුසලතා සහ වියට්නාම ආහාර පිලිබඳ ගැඹුරු ඇගයීමක් සමඟින් ඉන් ඉවත් වීමි. හැනෝයි වෙත පැමිණෙන ඕනෑම කෙනෙකුට මම මෙම ක්‍රියාකාරකම බෙහෙවින් නිර්දේශ කරමි, එය නිසැකවම සංචාරයේ විශේෂ අවස්ථා වලින් එකකි!

I had a very informative time making Vietnamese pho and local-style coffee at the cooking class. Pho: I was able to learn in detail from the process of making the broth to preparing the noodles and toppings. I am very satisfied to have gained tips on recreating the deep, local flavor at home. Coffee: I learned how to extract and make Vietnam's signature rich and sweet coffee using condensed milk and cream. The process was not complicated yet tasted wonderful, making it very practical. Thanks to the instructor's kind explanations and systematic guidance, even beginners can easily follow along. I highly recommend it for the opportunity to enjoy the dishes you make yourself.

Loved this class! Since there was no one else who booked with us, we kinda had a private 3-pax class haha 😁 Chef Hung (and his assistant Mira) was very knowledgable and spoke good english, answering our questions well throughout the market tour, class, and even in their herb garden. The recipes he taught was also super flavourful and I loved that we were able to make everything from scratch, including the pho skin, a unique experience that I could only find in this cooking centre! As well as other of our favourite dishes: Bun Cha and spring rolls, where there was even bbq equipment avail. Overall, would really recommend this class. For the price, it’s really worth it too!
