What makes this experience unique?
There are small things that leave a lasting impression — like the feeling of shaping each dumpling by hand, waiting for them to float to the surface of the boiling water, and gently scooping them out. Everything happens slowly, warmly, like a familiar memory being recreated. And when you taste it, you'll realize it's not just a dish, but a very "Vietnamese" moment — simple, sweet, and enough to touch your emotions.
What you'll get to experience with us
Touch the taste of Vietnam through an inspiring handmade experience, where you knead the dough yourself, shape each soft and chewy Bánh Trôi with sweet cane sugar filling and sprinkle with fragrant sesame seeds. Under careful guidance, you will go through each step from preparing ingredients, shaping, cooking until enjoying the finished product right on the spot. The workshop brings a sense of closeness, peace, and helps you connect more deeply with Vietnamese culture. At the end of the class, you will also take home these small and beautiful cakes – like a piece of meaningful homeland heritage.
