Great experience - We had a wonderful afternoon with Chyl (pronounced Chill - what a cool name!). We cooked 3 dishes. Chyl is very informative and patient. Gave us a great insight into the local cuisine. Would definitely recommend it if you have any interest in food.

A must stop in Manila - I really enjoyed the experience of cooking and eating the Lumpia and Turon. Learning how to make these dishes really made me want to try them out at home.

Wonderful experience - It was a wonderful experience. Even though we were quite late, they made sure we were there with a smile. It was my first Filipino cooking class and it was delicious. I'm grateful for the cooking teacher's hospitality and smile.

Great fun!! - I had a great time cooking with Chyl today during a very hot afternoon in Manila.
She (patiently) guided me through making 3 dishes:
1) Pancit Bihon
2) Turon (3 ways; classic, jackfruit and Nutella)
3) Lumpiang Gulay
Everything is provided so you just need to turn up and get cutting and cooking.
After cooking you get to eat your creations - but fair warning there’s a lot so I had to take away the extra !
In summary, great food, great company and great value for money
Thank you Chyl

A must try when in Makati, Manila - Chyl is a good teacher and we thought initially that it is not so much to cook, but we left a lot on our plates. It is so satisfactory to eat what you cook under Chyl's kind directions. Thank you! Highly recommended when in Manila.
And ...if you prefer to have a quiet time, you can book it on a Sunday and might have a private experience.
We will be back. Thank you, Chyl and Team at Explore Manila Tours 💓

Lovely afternoon cooking outside - Spent a lovely couple of hours cooking and chatting with Chyl. She's a very good teacher and is very easy to get along with. She told me stories and gave me lots of advice about my time in the Philippines in-between cookery instruction. I learned a few relatively simple dishes that were very tasty and would be easy to repeat at home with your own ingredients if you can't find the exact items. Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone.
Top tip, make sure you turn up hungry!
