This was the highlight of our trip to China! Both William and Jasmine were such kind people who made the experience really special. They took us to a local market and taught us some Chinese so we could order our own food. We then spent the evening cooking delicious dishes while we chatted about our lives and learnt more about the Chinese culture and food. I would highly recommend you do this experience! Thank you again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable time with us. If your travels ever bring you back to our city, you know where to find us for another adventure.
I had a great experience with Jasmine at the cooking experience. The format of the afternoon was perfect, with some time spent firstly at the market buying ingredients, and then the rest of the afternoon reserved for the cooking class. The work shop was very well organised and educational as well. Jasmine was very approachable and always there to help out when needed. Overall I would highly recommend this experience
