I miss Tsuivan more than anything when I’m away from home. So I built an afternoon around it.
You’ll meet me at Chinggis Square and we’ll walk, not toward monuments, but through the streets I actually grew up on. Markets, schoolyards, and the railway station where I sold soda as a kid during my summer holidays. Ulaanbaatar as it’s lived, not as it’s photographed.
Then we go home. My home, on the tenth floor, with the city spread out below us. Tea first, then a game of Shagai, the way Mongolian families have played it for generations. Then into the kitchen: you’ll roll the dough, cut the noodles, and cook Tsuivan the way it’s always been made in Mongolian homes.
By the time we sit down, the meal on the table is yours. You made it.
Small group, never more than four guests. No script, no rush. Just Ulaanbaatar for an afternoon, experienced as a guest in a real Mongolian home.
Meet your host at the base of the Sukhbaatar statue at the center of Chinggis Square (Sükhbaatar Square), central Ulaanbaatar. Your host will be holding a "SEREY TRAVEL" sign and wearing a Serey Travel t-shirt. Reachable by bus, taxi or on foot from most central hotels.
The experience concludes at your host’s apartment at approximately 2:30–3:00 PM. From there, you can walk back to Chinggis Square along Peace Avenue (about one hour), take a short taxi ride, or use nearby public transportation to return to the city center.
MEET ME AT CHINGGIS SQUARE I’ll be waiting at the Sukhbaatar statue holding a Serey Travel sign. We’ll meet and begin our walk. WALK THROUGH THE CITY I GREW UP IN About 7 km through neighborhoods most visitors never see, passing local markets, schoolyards, a park I’ve known since childhood, and the railway district where I sold soda as a kid. Every street has a story. COME INSIDE MY HOME We arrive at my tenth-floor apartment overlooking the city. We slow down with herbal tea and play Shagai, a traditional Mongolian ankle bone game. COOK TSUIVAN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS Into the kitchen. You’ll roll the dough, cut the noodles, and cook alongside me, the way Tsuivan is made in Mongolian homes across the country. EAT WHAT YOU MADE By the time we sit down, the meal on the table is entirely yours. We share it together. HEAD BACK WHENEVER YOU’RE READY You’ll leave with a full stomach, a recipe to take home, and a perspective on Ulaanbaatar most visitors never find.
