Chi's specialty is ca kho (catfish in traditional clay pot). Slow cooked, the fish is mouth-wateringly tender and richly sweet. It takes days to thoughtfully prepare and is incredibly delicious. Chi will tell you about Vietnamese cuisine and dining customs as you enjoy a meal together at her table.

More about Chi

Chi is a delightful young Vietnamese woman living with her husband in a modest, clean apartment typical of the Vietnamese middle-class on a quiet road in a residential neighborhood off the bustling main streets of Ho Chi Minh City. An English teacher, Chi is delighted to share her home and cuisine with visiting foreigners looking to learn more. Her fish in traditional clay pot is a specialty and one of the most delicious things we’ve eaten in Vietnam.

"Friendly people with good grasp of English. Chi cooked a variety of local dishes that were very tasty and accommodating to our food restrictions (allergies). She, her husband, and her friend happily spoke to us about living in Saigon, the local customs, and the cuisine."

Spending time with Chi and her husband was the highlight of my stay in the city."
