Mobile ticket
This half day activity includes both local wet market walking tour and a cooking class. During the class, you will learn to cook 3 Chinese dishes, (2 persons per team, all hands on), to be followed by a demonstration dish towards the end. The customers will get to relax and enjoy all the different dishes cooked afterward. This is a great introduction to Chinese culinary culture!
This is a highly customize course! Unless the customers do not specify what they want to learn, we make recommendations to our customers what dishes to cook to fit their taste preference and also to make sure they can get all the key ingredients for the dishes we teach them when they are back home.
We are located in a commercial building with around 4000 sq ft area. Our facility has all the equipment that one sees in any upscale commercial kitchen. That said, we will teach you how to adopt your cooking process for the average domestic kitchen. Come sign up if you like to explore Chinese cooking!

A Perfect Blend of Culture, Food, and Fun!

5.00We had an incredible time on this tour – easily one of the highlights of our trip to Hong Kong! The experience started with a guided walk through a bustling local market, where our guide (who was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great stories) introduced us to fresh local ingredients and the rhythms of daily life in Hong Kong. It was a fantastic way to get a feel for the city beyond the usual tourist spots. The real magic happened in the cooking studio. The setup was clean, professional, and welcoming. We learned how to make several classic Chinese dishes – including dumplings from scratch – and the guidance was clear and hands-on without being overwhelming. Even as beginners, we felt totally comfortable and ended up making food that was genuinely delicious (and surprisingly authentic!). Our guide, Bill, was a real standout. He was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable – sharing fascinating stories about the local food culture and making everyone feel at ease. His passion for cooking and Hong Kong shone through in every part of the experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to dive a little deeper into Hong Kong’s culture and come away with skills (and recipes!) you can use back home. Definitely come hungry!
Learning about local culture through food.

5.00This food tour/cooking class was one of the most memorable experiences on our trip to Hong Kong. Bill was an amazing host - very friendly and knowledgable. Cooking authentic Chinese dishes was a lot of fun. The food was excellent even with our beginner dumpling making skills! There was plenty of food, so bring your appetite and be prepared to take home leftovers!
Outstanding introduction to Chinese Cookery

5.00Bill was a great teacher and gave us a perfect introduction to Chinese cookery techniques and recipes we will be able to use back at home. The studio is amazing - a true “Pro kitchen” experience, and the wet market tour provided insights you can only obtain from a local guide. Make sure you don’t book an evening meal as you’ll be able to bring back anything you didn’t manage to eat for a hearty evening meal! Thoroughly recommended!
