Overview

Traveling Spoon

Chi is a delightful young Vietnamese woman living with her husband in a modest, clean apartment typical of the Vietnamese middle-class. They live on a quiet road in a residential neighborhood off the bustling main streets of Ho Chi Minh City. An English teacher, Chi is delighted to share her home and cuisine with visiting foreigners looking to learn more. Her traditional caramelized claypot fish, which takes several days to prepare, is a specialty! Enjoy an authentic home-cooked Vietnamese meal at her dining table while Chi shares more about Vietnamese culture and cuisine. If you book a cooking experience, join Chi in the kitchen for a hands-on cooking lesson during which you prepare cha gio (crispy fried pork and shrimp spring rolls) and a traditional soup. Chi also offers an optional market tour add-on.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is often referred to as Vietnam’s jewel and the Pearl of the Orient. Located in south Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest city, with more than six million people and over one million motorbikes. Under the current regime the city is once more being rebuilt. Whole blocks are disappearing, being replaced by concrete, steel and glass structures. Central Saigon, which is still the official name for the city center, shows evidence of the French colonial city, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés and elegant French architecture. The city is divided into two sections: Saigon, the municipal and historical district, and Cholon (Chinatown), where the entrepreneurial talent and private funds are concentrated. Cholon appears to be the most populated and in general the most vigorous part of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well worth a visit for its bustle and activity and its pagodas, which are reputed to be the finest in the whole city.
