(Private) last minute cooking class - The cooking class was great! Alex took us to the market and we got to taste and hear different things about the history of Dadaocheng. We were last-minute with reservations but due to the good contact via Whatsapp it was quickly arranged. Then we went to cook and everything was explained step-by-step how we could best make the traditional dishes and why each dish was used. He learned to cook from his grandmother so that makes it extra special that we learned a piece of history. Thank you Alex for the good care!

Taiwanese cooking experience - They kindly and politely taught me the process of walking around the city and cooking, mixing Japanese and English, and I enjoyed relaxing! I can cook so many dishes! I would like to take it back to Japan, but I couldn't because the plane was so close, so you might want to join me halfway through the trip. The menu is different depending on the day of the week, so I thought I'd like to make another menu if I had another chance!

I recommend it. - I joined because I wanted to learn about the color of Taiwanese cuisine. I asked a lot of questions, but the organizer, Alex, taught me gently and clearly, with Japanese, and I learned a lot. They also said they like to travel, so we cooked while chatting about various things such as each other's travel stories and countries, so it was fun from start to finish. The food was also excellent. It's frustrating that you can't finish, It was one of the nice memories of my trip to Taiwan. Thank you very much.

⭐Even if you can't speak, mother and daughter enjoyed cooking and it was a good trip to remember⭐ - My first trip to Taiwan, I wanted to see the market as well as the cooking class, so I chose Be My Guest's Taijiao Jiao's Taipei cooking class and market adventure course. I thought the price was a bit high as an option, but it's more than just eating and chatting at the market. Alex had a great time, not least because he cared about English and the language he learned at Japanese language school. I am looking forward to learning about colorful dumplings, noodles, and sour hot water in a beautiful and cute classroom, and making them after returning to Japan. Couples and families who are not good at cooking can join! It's a joyful experience that can't be experienced just by sightseeing, and I'd like to participate in another course. Thank you for taking so many photos on LINE! Rewatch
