Sapa: Hmong-Kochkurs

It was great talking with Sung and her family. She answered all of our questions about Hmong culture and was incredibly kind and inviting. She also does trekking and told us all about the area so we could know what kinds of sights we wanted to see. I highly recommend this class, especially if you want a great introduction to Sa Pa.

We took Sung’s cooking class today and had an amazing experience. She speaks very well english and got to teach us about H’Mong culture and history. We cooked 8 delicious dishes that we shared at the end. Cooking while being surrounded by rice terraces is the most unique thing about this class that we highly recommend! Thank you to Sung and the whole family for their warm welcome.

We had cooking class with Sung. She was such a calm and very talented homecook, and we learned many new recipies during the cooking class and also met her family. She spoke english well and explaned all the dishes while we we’re making it together. We also got to learn about the culture and how it is to grow up in a village. We will highly recommend this!

We had an amazing time! Sung was AMAZING - she taught us all about her tribe's culture, answered every question we had, and helped us make an amazing meal! Ask her about her being a trek guide! It was great to experience this in the homestay, we really felt like part of the family! We had an excellent time and could not recommend this experience more! Only note: it is a little hard to find for Grab drivers so give yourself a little extra time. But it is well worth it!

The cooking class was amazing. We were cooking with a local family in a beautiful homestay. Sung (and her family) was super nice and friendly, she also showed us a lot more things we can do in Sapa. It was a great experience! :)

Das war leider die erste Erfahrung, die komplett nach hinten losging. Die Kommunikation war spärlich bis quasi nicht existent. Wir haben weder etwas darüber gelernt, was wir kochen, noch über Land, Kultur oder regionale Zutaten. Die angeblich einheimischen Gewürze bestanden aus nichts anderem als Instant-Nudel-Pulver und MSG – ein schlechter Scherz. Obendrauf wurde uns vom hauseigenen Chauffeur noch eine überteuerte Fahrt angeboten, weil man nicht gut mit Grab hinkommt. Die 80 € für Kurs und Taxi waren einfach nur in den Wind geschossen. Die Guidin hing die ganze Zeit am Handy und schien einfa

Heerlijke traditionele gerechten gemaakt, naast de standaard springrol. Waarbij we elke stap begeleid werden en zelf achter de wok stonden. Dikke aanrader dus, en je maakt genoeg eten zodat je ook nog lekker een restje mag meenemen.

Sung war eine tolle Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns herzlich empfangen und mit uns 6 verschiedenen Gerichte zubereitet und erklärt. Es gab - Frühlingsrollen - Hühnchen mit Paprika - Schwein mit Zwiebeln - Wasserspinat mit Knoblauch - Bambussprossen mit Zwiebeln - lila und weißen Klebereis Gegessen haben wir alle zusammen an einem Tisch (wir waren zu viert). Es gab Tee und Reisschnaps. Sung hat und schon vor dem Kurs kontaktiert und uns einen Fahrer für die Hin- und Rückfahrt organisiert. Alles in allem sehr schön und wir werden die erlernten Gerichte zuhause nachkochen!

Was lovely being welcomed into the family home to cook traditional dishes. Such a unique experience and in the lovely setting in rice fields. I can’t recommend taking this class enough.

I loved learning about the Hmong culture the most. What can be improved: Signage at the corner of the small road.
