What a lovely evening!

We helped preparing the food and got to learn a lot about local dishes. The table was richly filled with all different meals. Great bonus: the homemade wine!

The family was very kind. We laughed a lot and they shared interesting story’s about Vietnam. In perfect english!

A hearth-warming experience if you love food and to meet a lovely family!

Our evening with Mama Moon and family was the absolute highlight of our time in Hoh Chi Minh. We were welcomed into the family from the start- being welcomed after car drop off, by learning how to prepare traditional Vietnamese dinner (including accommodating for our food restrictions) and with wonderful conversation. We will visit again!

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.

Such an amazing experience. It was perfect and we had the best time. Joe is delightful and overall, it was so much better than we expected. Highly recommend. 🙌

This is a fantastic idea where people cook a meal for you in their own home so you get the real home cooking &amp; family experience. Despite only recently getting in from work, mum and dad pitched in with the girls to cook us a lovely meal. Whilst some dishes were, as the girls put it, weird to us they appreciated us trying them out and as they later said "When in Rome". Moon Mama's family were delightful and great fun with limited english no barrier to the international language of laughter. We were even serenaded to "the one that got away" by Katy Perry by the younger sister on her ukulele. Taxi back to the hotel in the pouring rain but a great night out. Many thanks girls.

We were picked up at our hotel and taken to a private residence we were given the opportunity to go in the kitchen and help prepare our meal! We all participated in cooking the food (though Moon Mama mother did most of the work!), and then we all sat as a family in their living room and ate the meal together. The family was so welcoming to us, and Sophia even gave us a tour of their lovely home, explaining the things we were seeing. What an authentic Vietnamese evening we had over dinner, sharing and learning about each other's customs and lives. It was an evening in Saigon that we will never forget.

We had such a great night at Moon Mama’s house—she’s truly an absolute vibe. Warm, funny, and full of heart, she made everyone feel right at home, sharing recipes and making sure no one ever leaves hungry. The highlight? Sipping her homemade plum wine while she sang a sweet Vietnamese folk song. The meal was delicious, but it was the energy and laughter that made the night unforgettable. Thank you Moon Mama and her family!
