Tour a piedi di Ulaanbaatar e lezione di cucina casalinga in una casa mongola
Descrizione
Questo non è un tour. È una mezza giornata a Ulaanbaatar, che termina intorno a un tavolo di famiglia con Tsuivan – il piatto che mi manca di più ogni volta che lascio la Mongolia. Iniziamo da piazza Chinggis e camminiamo nei quartieri residenziali dove la vita quotidiana si svolge al di là dei percorsi turistici. In una città nota per il traffico, rallentiamo, passando per mercati, scuole e routine mattutine che la maggior parte dei visitatori non vede mai. Dopo la passeggiata, arriviamo a una casa mongola in un appartamento locale con vista sulla città. Beviamo tisane, giochiamo a Shagai (un tradizionale gioco di ossa della caviglia), poi cuciniamo Tsuivan da zero, arrotolando l’impasto, tagliando i noodles e cucinando fianco a fianco, come viene fatto nelle case di tutta la Mongolia. Quando ci sediamo a mangiare, ce l’hai fatta interamente con le tue mani. Parti con una ricetta, lo stomaco pieno e una prospettiva su Ulaanbaatar che la maggior parte dei visitatori non trova mai - non come turista, ma come ospite in una casa locale.

Itinerario
INCONTRIAMOCI A CHINGGIS SQUARE Vi aspetto alla statua di Sukhbaatar con in mano un cartello Serey Travel. Ci incontreremo e inizieremo la nostra passeggiata. PASSEGGIA PER LA CITTÀ IN CUI SONO CRESCIUTO Circa 7 km attraverso quartieri che la maggior parte dei visitatori non vede mai, passando per i mercati locali, i cortili delle scuole, un parco che conosco fin dall’infanzia e il quartiere ferroviario dove vendevo bibite da bambino. Ogni strada ha una storia. VIENI DENTRO CASA MIA Arriviamo al mio appartamento al decimo piano con vista sulla città. Rallentiamo con una tisana e giochiamo a Shagai, un tradizionale gioco mongolo di caviglie. CUCINA LO TSUIVAN CON LE TUE MANI In cucina. Stenderai l’impasto, taglierai i noodles e cucinerai al mio fianco, come lo Tsuivan è fatto nelle case mongole di tutto il paese. MANGIA QUELLO CHE HAI FATTO Quando ci siederemo, il pasto sul tavolo sarà tutto tuo. Lo condividiamo insieme. TORNA INDIETRO OGNI VOLTA CHE SEI PRONTO Partirai con la pancia piena, una ricetta da portare a casa e una prospettiva su Ulaanbaatar che la maggior parte dei visitatori non trova mai.

My walk and cooking experience with Ider was perhaps my favorite thing I did in Mongolia! His tour of Ulaanbaatar is a beautiful, personal look at urban life in this country, and I enjoyed the opportunity to listen to his memories and perspective around the city. The second half of this experience, cooking a homemade meal, is wonderful. If you're someone who truly enjoys cooking for the love of ingredients, connections, and community, you'll love cooking Tsuivan with Ider. As a solo female traveller, I felt so comfortable conversing with Ider, and it quickly felt like hanging out with an old college friend. Learning about Mongolian culture through a game and about the local cuisine by cooking from scratch is the perfect way to add depth to your visit to this beautiful country. It's a relaxing, slower-paced day that lives up to Ider's company name (ask him about it)! Please support this small business by booking this lovely experience with Serey Travel!
Ellie, Reading this truly made my day. It was such a pleasure spending the day with you, walking through the neighborhoods, making Tsuivan together, and sharing stories over lunch. You brought so much curiosity and warmth to every part of the experience, and that made it memorable for me too. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review and for sharing your beautiful photos. Looking through them brought back so many wonderful memories of our day together. I wish you all the best with your research and future travels. If your adventures ever bring you back to Mongolia, there will always be a place at our family table waiting for you. Warmly, Ider

Myself and a friend booked a personalised full day tour with Eider a round Ulaanbaatar and is easily exceeded our expectations. From the start when he confirmed what we wanted to do through to making and eating traditional dishes in his home everything was brilliant. I couldn’t recommend him enough and I’d be surprised if you don't have as good a time as we did. Thanks Eider from Russ and Sponge.
Russ and Sponge, thank you so much for this. It genuinely made my day reading it. Having you both was a real pleasure from start to finish. Your energy, curiosity, and the way you both threw yourselves into everything, especially the cooking, made that day one I will always remember. That Tsuivan we made together was something special. I am so glad the experience exceeded your expectations and I hope our paths cross again someday, whether in Ulaanbaatar or elsewhere in the world. Thank you for taking the time to share this. It means more than you know. Happy trails, Ider
