A Fun Way to Engage with Taiwanese Food Culture and Cuisine - This was such a fun and memorable experience to include in our itinerary in Taipei! Angela was a fun and engaging teacher, especially in the technique to make the soup dumplings. While I can’t say we made all parts of the beef noodle soup and boba tea (the beef, soup, and noodles were mostly prepped before hand and the boba balls are from a package), we learned the basic techniques, ingredients, and great pointers for how to easily make at home. All components of the soup dumplings were made from scratch and we each ate our own handmade xiaolongbao! :) We were also given a recipe booklet at the end of the experience to make the dishes at home. All of the dishes were delicious, especially the soup dumplings. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys cooking and Taiwanese food.

One of the best cooking courses we've done - We signed up for the Xiao Long Bao & Beef Noodles class. After a short mix up with the address (they have two locations) which they quickly sorted, we joined a group of eight others preparing a great blend of traditional Taiwanese classics. We made the Xiao Long Bao individually, including the dough, filling and the hard task of wrapping. We also individually made a simple, but fun-to-make Taiwanese cucumber salad, while the Beef Noodles we prepared as a group and saw how to make the Boba (Bubble Tea). The three hours flew by and was facilitated by the extremely entertaining, super friendly and very smiley Angela. 5/5.

Great and novel way to see Taiwan and learn the food - Taught me how to make xiao long bao. I don’t have lady fingers, but they tasted delicious. They taught me the secret to the soup in the dumplings. My neighbor said they looked post-modern, but tasted great all the same. And then we had lunch!!

Fun and well prepared. FYI most of the class will be spent on making XLB - Great and a lot of fun, it went very smoothly. I wanted to learn about cooking beef noodle soup, but this was the one that was most minimized, which was disappointing. It was done as a demo and most of the ingredients were cooked and plated for us ahead of time. The majority of the class was focused on making the XLB.

Great cooking class experience - Wonderful experience! The best part was learning how to prepare a Xiao Long Bao and Beef Noodle dishes. There wasn’t much to the Boba making part, but it was nice to know the differences between Boba and Bubble Milk Tea and how it was made.

Fun activity with good food! - Really fun experience - and the food turned out really well! Diana was patient, funny and very helpful. The experience focused mainly on the dumplings, and the beef noodle soup was prepared by the crew - we did some stirring.
