This cooking class was fantastic. The instructor was super friendly and helpful, and the food came out amazing. It was an interesting way to learn about how some of the street food we've been getting is made, and the recipe book we received will make a great souvenir. I look forward to trying what I learned again at home

Very good experience. Angela was most capable and interesting. The Gua Bao we made was DELICIOUS. I can't wait to try it at home , to impress my family, The Lu Rou was also good, but the Star was the Gua Bao. The Boba Tea was an amazing process, very hard! All up, a GREAT WAY TO SPEND TIME IN TAIPEI!
