A Little Humble Words About Us
Chan Dat Living Room, the predecessor of Nguyen - Experimental Tofu and Arts, is a Hoi An small private home shared by two Vietnamese Vy - Hiep individuals who are passionate about literary culture, history, social sciences, and the beauty of existential art in everyday life. Through our authentic voice, we hope to share the richness of Vietnamese cultural knowledge with friends worldwide, fostering genuine connections built on mutual understanding and natural appreciation. In addition to designing cultural experience events, we also carry out community projects aimed at building love and connection in honesty and understanding, which are:
1/ Podcast:"Existential Human"
2/ Vipassana In The Living Room
3/ Culture Exchange: Singing the language - Learning English through songs .
4/ Local Fair : Colors of Hoi An (Sponsored by Xanh Xanh Market Hoi An)
Tử Vi Cosmology is one of the oldest social sciences, studying human life through the lens of Eastern Yin-Yang philosophy. Rooted in the belief that "All manifested forms obey cosmic patterns", Tử Vi captures the complexity of human psychology, relationships, and life trajectories - mapping them onto a structured chart of 12 fundamental aspects of human life. Like any social science, Tử Vi evolves with time, embracing modern language and open-minded approaches. This is also how Chân Đất explores, interprets, and shares Tử Vi with participants.
Vietfood Lab: Introduction to "3 Chè of Hội An"
(Coming soon)
Chè is not just a dessert but a part of Vietnam's cultural fabric. It is often associated with family gatherings, festivals, and religious ceremonies. Each variety of chè carries its own story and significance, reflecting the local ingredients and traditions of the region it comes from.
The history of chè in Vietnam is a testament to the country's rich culinary heritage and its ability to adapt and innovate over centuries. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a national treasure, chè continues to delight and bring people together, embodying the essence of Vietnamese culture and hospitality.

"A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. It starts much earlier and is really never over, because the film of memory continues running on inside of us long after we have come to a physical standstill"

ABOUT OUR SOCIAL PROJECT
- THE PODCAST:“EXISTENTIAL HUMAN” -
The "Existential Human" podcast explores the idea that every individual has both the responsibility and the right to live authentically, true to their own nature. This involves questioning to discover oneself, and through this quest, people uncover life’s true meaning.
In each "dialogue", the host invites a guest they’ve serendipitously met and connected with. These guests may be ordinary or well-known, but above all, they share one common trait: a heart sincerely moved by life. The podcast unfolds in 3 unscripted segments with 3 themes—unknown even to us—reflecting life’s unpredictable nature through spontaneous, organic conversations. We really hopes you’ll listen with an open heart and mind.
This dialogue’s guest is Ms.Liz, a Vietnamese-Australian whom we encountered a year ago at an art gallery in Hội An—a connection that has endured. During her current return to Vietnam for charity work, we invited her to join this very first episode.
Thank you, Liz, for vulnerably sharing your inner world, experiences, and reflections. Through your authenticity, we hope listeners discover the values of existential human: mutual inspiration and healing.
Once again, we are deeply grateful for Liz’s presence and heartfelt sharing. May you find happiness, peace, and fulfillment in life’s daily journey.
Now, let’s listen to the first theme in this dialogue with Liz !
