    The workshop with Sisi was truly engaging from start to finish. We began at the local market, where she guided us through the bustling stalls, explained everything in detail, and gave us as much time as we needed to explore the place at our own pace. Afterwards, she carefully selected the ingredients for preparing pho. The soup itself was unique – neither the classic pho ga nor pho bo – but that made the cooking process all the more fascinating. What stood out even more was Sisi herself: she openly shared stories about her life and culture, creating an atmosphere that was not only about learning to cook but also about gaining insight into local traditions. Her willingness to share knowledge and answer questions made the experience both enriching and memorable. It was more than just a cooking class - it was a cultural journey wrapped in warmth, authenticity, and curiosity.

    We joined a cooking class for making Pho Bo and Pho Ga, and it was a wonderful experience. The class started with a visit to the Sa Pa market, where we bought all the ingredients together. This was a great opportunity to ask questions about the products and learn more about their origin. Sisi guided us step by step through the recipes, explaining clearly why she did things a certain way. She was very helpful, patient, and always ready to answer any questions we had. Overall, it was not only educational but also a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

    We took the night train to Sapa and took a taxi to the class. It was in a hostel where we met our beautiful teacher, Mia. She spoke very good English and warmly welcomed us. The hostel allowed luggage storage which was very convenient. Our class began with a showing of the ingredients which were locally sourced. She said the chicken was very fresh. She guided in the order of preparation and we acted as sous chefs. The soup takes about one hour to simmer at which time we had very nice, natural conversation about her life in her village, her family, and leisure activities. We left the class with a knowledge of making pho and a glimpse into our instructor’s life experience. Highly recommend this rich experience!
