Hi there! Nice to meet you

Vonny Maya

I am a person who enjoys food for pleasure, I enjoy hunting any kind of traditional foods from all over the islands in Indonesia (especially in East Java, the place where I grew up). And also have a passion for learning how to cook it. "Good Food + Good Company = Good Mood" is one of my life mottoes. So, let's have a look and taste the yummilicious signature dishes of Surabaya, folks :-)

Had a wonderful experience with Vonny! She was kind and enthusiastic. Not only did she talk about the local food and took us to a few hidden gems, she also had great knowledge the history of the areas of which we were in. Thank you so much, Vonny! Great experience!

We had a lovely day with Vonny. She took us around Surabaya and explained the importance of the city. Unfortunately the heavens opened and we were forced to seek cover. Vonny took us to the old Dutch Club where there was an exhibition taking place. We were able to enjoy our time there until te rain passed.Vonny is so friendly

This was our second day with Vonny, and we had an awesome time once more. We started off with a visit to a central market to buy some ingredients before heading off to start cooking. Our two menu items were lemper with chicken, and es cendol. This is a participation exercise, and we were quickly put to work on the ingredients - it was great fun to learn about the different ways of preparing them. The food assembled, we were pleased with the outcome - very tasty! We met some of Vonny's family too, including her nephew - the coffee maestro - who demonstrated some different ways to prepare a brew. Again, Vonny was very generous with her time, and it was a pleasure to spend the class with her. The follow up with photos and recipes of what we made was much appreciated. We cannot recommend her highly enough.Learn to cook like a local with Vonny

What better way to get to know about a place you're visiting than to get to know one of its residents. Vonny was a delight to spend time with, and showed us some of Surabaya's highlights. Amongst those was a favourite bakery of hers, and it was great to have her tell us about the different local products - followed by a tasting of course! We also visited a long established drinks company where we were able to sample some of their flavours that were unknown to us before - we recommend the cocopandan. Vonny was extremely generous with her time, and it was great to have such a warm introduction to Surabaya and to make a new friend.Wonderful day with Vonny

We loved our time with Vonny and her family. We got to experience a market, somewhere we would probably never have gone otherwise. We then cooked together at Vonny’s house with her family. Vonny’s family was lovely and we felt so welcome. We even got to cook a special meal because it was our honeymoon. I would highly recommend this experience, especially if you’re in to cooking and spending time with local people. We will actually be able to make the meal back in England :)Fun and authentic cooking experience!

I did a cooking lesson with Vonnie and it was a wonderful day. We started by going to a local market to buy the ingredients and that was an amazing experience on its own. The variety of vegetables, fruits, spices and other foods was overwhelming. Vonnie’s regular kitchen was unavailable so we did the cooking at her brother’s home which made the day very special. We worked with her sister in law to create a great Gado Gado which was delicious. We made the peanut sauce from scratch which helped me to understand the many tastes and how they are achieved. The added enjoyment I had meeting her Brother’s family was a great bonus and that was the highlight of my entire trip to Indonesia. We finished the day with a bonus visit to the birthplace of President Sukarno and to a shop to get some great snacks. In all it was a great day, Vonnie was a wonderful host and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. Great Day With Vonnie

I took this walking tour with Vonny on my first day in Surabaya. She was a treasure trove of information and introduced me to excellent food and sites which I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. All with terrific positive attitude. Thank you!Great informative walking tour with Vonny!
