5Amazing day
This was such an amazing person with truly great people Bee and Sou were so welcoming. I could not have asked for a better cooking or cultural experience. I recommend this for anyone traveling to Mongolia.
5A cooking experience I will always cherish
Our cooking class was so much more than cooking, it was a journey into the Mongolian culture. Bee and Soy were gracious host who shared their love and passion for their culture. They provided an experience of their heritage along with cooking a traditional Mongolian meal. We were given meaningful gifts that represented important aspects of Mongolian. I will always cherish them. What I enjoyed most about our time with them was the positive energy sharing we all felt This was an experience I will never forget. Bee and Soy made a lasting impression on our group. This is one cooking class you must attend if you are in the area.
5I really enjoyed the...
I really enjoyed the Mongolian cousine cooking class with Bee and Sor. Their gher is a welcoming, positive, and full of energy athmosphere. It was just about the cooking class, also, I learned alot about Mongolian history and culture. Thank you for the surprize gifts, they have a special place in my heart.
5Cultural Experience
Bee and Soy are very passionate about their culture and have a wealth of information. So this is way more than just a cooking class. It's a culture class. They are very open and friendly, willing to answer any question. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend the experience. Especially if you have just arrived in the country.
5My day with Bee and Soy...
My day with Bee and Soy was amazing. I loved that the experience was in a traditional ger. I learned so much about Mongolian culture, the food they eat, and the way it is prepared and cooked. Bee and Soy were very kind, welcoming, and eager to teach me some of their ways and customs. I highly recommend this tour. It was a wonderful way to begin my tour in Mongolia.
5More Than a Cooking Class
I can't recommend this experience enough. I came to learn how to cook traditional Mongolian dishes and taste a variety of local dairy products, and I left with so much more. Beyond the cooking class itself, Bee and Soy generously shared their knowledge of Mongolia's nomadic culture, traditions, philosophy, and spirituality. It wasn't just about recipes, it was a genuine cultural exchange that gave me a much deeper understanding of the country and its people. They are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely curious about others, which made the whole experience feel more like spending time with friends than attending a class. It was a beautiful lesson in sharing, kindness, and hospitality. I'm only at the very beginning of my two-month journey across Mongolia, but I already know this day will remain one of the highlights of my trip. It has set the tone for everything that's to come. I'll definitely visit Bee and Soy again when I return to Ulaanbaatar at the end of my road trip. Thank you both for such a memorable and inspiring day!

About Ulaanbaatar

Ulaanbaatar lies at around 1,350 metres in a valley below Bogd Khan mountain, and is among the coldest capitals in the world. It grew from a movable monastery town, and Gandan Monastery, still a working Buddhist centre, holds a tall gilded statue of Avalokiteshvara. Sükhbaatar Square, the central plaza, is dominated by the Government Palace with a large seated statue of Chinggis Khan.
