We had the most amazing time in Moon Mama’s home with her whole family. We were warmly greeted by Tu, her daughter, and learned how to make some Vietnamese dishes. We laughed, talked about many things and learned so much. We enjoyed meeting the whole family and sharing a meal together around a table. This was an incredible opportunity to meet local people and experience authentic culture inside their home! The food was excellent and the company was even better. We didn’t want to leave. They played a game with our three kids and that was so fun! Our whole family loved this experience and will cherish it forever.

Cook & Dine: Experience a Saigon Feast in a Real Family Home

This was truly an incredible and unusual thing to do in Hanoi. To meet a village family, see them make tofu, and learn hands on how to make your own (and then eat what you made in a delicious stew) was a one-of-a-kind experience. It was really interesting to take the small ferry across the river and see river life as well.

What a wonderful and authentic experience! Ngoc was a super helpful host in communicating pick up instructions, and was very informative about the Tofu making process and her own life. To top it off we had a wonderful breakfast at her home- I will definitely be using the recipe in the future. Thank you so much!!!

P.S. It is well worth waking up early for

The workshop is totally worth getting up so early! We participated in the whole artisan tofu making process — from grinding the beans, cooking and crumbling soy milk to forming tofu blocks. We even went to a local community market, where the tofu is being sold and experienced different - calm and rural-like - neighbourhood in Hanoi.

Ngoc is a terrific guide, very kind and knowledgeable. After the workshop she invited us to her home to cook and eat breakfast together from the tofu prepared by us earlier. We strongly recommend the experience 💜

We had such a unique and special experience visiting a home-based tofu-making kitchen. We enjoyed learning about the process, chatting with our hosts, and of course sampling the fresh tofu and soy milk. We especially appreciated Ngoc's thoughtfulness, professionalism, and genuine warmth as our guide - she was organized and prompt in our communication, updated us about changes to the schedule and sorted everything out to make sure we would still have the full experience, and even welcomed us to her home for a meal and coffee. It was raining a bit on our visit so I would suggest that guests monitor the weather and bring umbrellas and waterproof jackets if needed, as some time will be spent outdoors.

I've spend such a great time with Ngoc ! The day I booked the family was not available for the tofu cooking experience but Ngoc proposed me (before the visit of course) to stay with her and she showed me her village, get me to the market where she showed me some specialities, I saw how is made tofu and how is cooked food for Têt, I could try to make a package with one of her neighbor.

Ngoc is an incredibly warm &amp; hospitable guide. Communication was excellent. We met up for the short local ferry ride to her village &amp; all further transportation she arranged effortlessly via taxi including getting us back home again
 She offers a particularly unique view into everyday life in a relatively small community which very few tourists are lucky enough to see. 
 All the locals we met on the day, from the local open air market to a family preparing food for a celebration were friendly &amp; inclusive. 
 We could participate in small ways &amp; befriend these lovely people
 Ngoc prepared food for us &amp; shared her life story. We cherish the memories &amp; wholeheartedly recommend this tour as a way to really experience local life

One of the most memorable and meaningful experiences I had in Hanoi. This wasn’t just a workshop — it felt like stepping into someone’s home and daily life in the most genuine way.

The journey itself set the tone: taking a small local ferry across the Duong River alongside morning commuters made everything feel grounded and real. Once we arrived, we were welcomed into the home of a lovely couple who have spent their lives preserving the traditional craft of tofu making. Their workspace was humble, authentic, and full of history.

Watching the process unfold — from soaked soybeans to fresh tofu — gave me a whole new appreciation for the craft. I especially loved the hands-on portion, where I shaped the tofu curds and pressed them into individual blocks. Don’t let the simplicity fool you — it takes more technique than you’d expect to create blocks like the masters.

Soon after, Ngoc and I visited the local market to pick up ingredients to cook with our freshly made tofu. We returned to her home, where she shared more stories and perspective while we prepared a simple tomato tofu soup. It was humble in nature but incredibly wholesome, made even more special knowing the ingredients were locally sourced.

For tourists and first-time visitors to Hanoi, this is a wonderful way to connect with the culture, appreciate sustainable food traditions, and see beyond the Old Quarter. It’s absolutely worth it — and Ngoc will make sure of that.
