About ǎnreal

Hi! We’re Ly and Chi – two lifelong friends who grew up in families where food was always at the center of everything. After years working in the creative and organisational side of Vietnamese restaurants in Germany, including Kotti Dang, IRO Izakaya, Con Tho and Ryong, we started ǎnreal to share our love for cooking.

For us, food is more than nourishment — it’s a way to honour our Vietnamese heritage, reimagine traditional flavors with local ingredients, and draw inspiration from the cultures around us. Most of all, we want to celebrate the stories, memories, and joy that come from sharing food together.

About Huong

My name is Huong Nguyen. I’m originally from Vietnam and currently work as an IT consultant — but my true passion has always been art in all its forms, and especially calligraphy.

From a young age, I loved creating with colors, shapes, and lines. But it was calligraphy that touched me in a unique way: it blends art and language, structure and expression, technique and feeling. Every letter becomes a small work of art, every stroke a mindful, intentional act.

For me, writing with pen and ink is more than just a craft — it’s a way to slow down, find stillness, and make our thoughts visible. In Copperplate calligraphy, I’ve found the perfect style to express my love of beauty, precision, and inner calm.

At this retreat, I look forward to sharing this passion with you — and helping you discover the joy of creating something truly personal with your own hands.
