Discover the comforting flavors of Cantonese dim sum in this hands-on cooking class in Guangzhou. Learn to make Lo Mai Gai, a beloved Cantonese dim sum, from scratch. Discover how to prepare fragrant sticky rice and savory traditional fillings (chicken, seafood and mushroom), and master the art of folding and wrapping a beautiful lotus leaf parcel. With step-by-step guidance from your bilingual instructor, learn how to prepare and season the sticky rice, assemble the filling, and fold everything neatly into its signature lotus leaf package. Discover why the leaf is more than beautiful wrapping: as it steams, it gives the rice its distinctive aroma and turns a humble parcel into a treasured dim sum classic. Then comes the best moment: unwrap your freshly steamed Lo Mai Gai and enjoy the fragrant result of your work! This experience is more than a cooking class: it is an introduction to the flavors, techniques, and everyday food culture of Guangzhou. This class is perfect for food lovers, curious travelers, and anyone who wants to bring a true Cantonese dim sum memory home. No previous cooking experience is needed—just bring your appetite and a love for discovering local flavors.

An Amazing and Engaging Cantonese Cooking Experience

Chef Eva’s class was an incredible experience! We learned how to prepare different varieties of bao buns and pan-fried dumplings with a variety of delicious fillings. The class was very engaging, interactive, and entertaining, and Chef Eva explained each preparation with great knowledge and passion. It was an amazing opportunity to learn new techniques and explore Cantonese cuisine. I truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend her class to anyone interested in learning more about Chin...read more

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I truly enjoyed every single moment cooking with you. The class felt less like teaching and more like sharing a kitchen with a good friend and a lovely family. And the market visit was such fun too!!! You have such a curious, playful spirit, and it made the whole experience a joy. I hope you keep exploring and growing on your chef’s journey. You’ve got something special, and I can’t wait to see where it takes you. Wishing you a brilliant future ahead. And of course, I’d love to see your own versions of dumplings and bun someday. I know they’ll be fantastic. Come back to Guangzhou anytime, the kitchen’s always open for you. Wishing you many more delicious adventures! Eva

Great Traditional Cooking experience

Cooking with Eva offered a rewarding experience, revealing much about Cantonese tradition and technique. The time and careful handcrafting of CHAR SIEW Bun were well spent.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m really glad the class gave you a deeper look into Cantonese cooking — especially the char siu bao. It does take time and patience to make those buns by hand, but that’s exactly where the tradition lives, and I’m happy you felt it was time well spent. You were a wonderful guest to cook with, and I’d love to have you back in the kitchen whenever you’re in Guangzhou. Wishing you many more delicious adventures! Eva

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m really happy you and your little one enjoyed the mochi making class. It was such a joy having your family in the kitchen — watching your kid roll, fill, and shape her own mochi was honestly the best part. I loved seeing parents and kids create side by side, and the whole class felt relaxed and playful. I hope those little coconut mochi become a sweet memory of your time in Guangzhou. Can’t wait to see your own homemade mochi someday! Thanks again for bringing such warm energy to the class. Wishing you many more delicious adventures! Eva

I am especially glad that you were able to enjoy a vegetarian version of the dish. At Woktopia, we believe that everyone should be able to experience authentic Cantonese flavours, regardless of dietary preferences – and we're always happy to adjust any recipe to suit your needs. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're delighted that you had such a wonderful time on your trip. You're always welcome back, maybe next time we can create another vegetarian twist on a classic dish together! Egg yolk lava, I always keep that in my mind!!! Wishing you many more delicious adventures! Eva
