sisi was absolutely amazing. It happened to just the two of us. very fun, very knowledgeable, and some of the cultures in Sapa. the pho was the best. Amazing. loved this experience and taking my new recipe home to America to enjoy pho anytime.

It was a lovely way to spend a cool and cloudy afternoon. We made delicious Pho together and we learned the traditional methods and ingredients in a friendly, relaxed and clean environment. We left very satisfied with the class and our taste lunch. Would recommend to others

Der Kochkurs mit Sisi war ein besonderes Erlebnis!! Wir durften alles Schritt für Schritt selbst machen und die Suppe war am Ende köstlich!! Sehr empfehlenswert.
