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 delicious way to learn about Hong Kong culture, history and food

    Fantastic experience, highly recommended! Our guide, Bill, is knowledgeable about Hong Kong and regional culture, history and food. We learned so much through out the guided walking tour and the in-studio cooking session. Bill’s pace was just right for our group, and he provided in-depth answers to our questions. Bill’s studio is beautifully laid out and clean, and the dishes we cooked were simple yet delicious and included a vegan dish as well. We kept the recipes, so we will be making these again! Bill even helped with the behind-the-scene with Viator wrt to booking changes. However, Viator customer service seems to be on the slow side, so we worked out that we had to actually cancel and re-book to adjust the number of participants. This is a bit inconvenient as it *seemed* as we could just make booking changes. Fortunately, we had started the communication about the booking changes before the no-cancellation date. Overall, you will not regret booking this cooking experience!

    Bill made the food tour cooking class really special and memorable. All of the things we cooked were customisable for dietary requirements and Bill even offered some expert opinions for flavour combinations that worked really well. His studio is immaculate and we loved everything about it. Would highly recommend!!

    We had a great time, and learned how to make some great food: Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs (to die for); Pork Dumplings (and two dipping sauces); Stir Fry French Beans (finally, a way that I actually like French Beans); and great Fried Rice (I now know the secret ingredient). Bill Chan is an amazing host, and extremely knowledgable, engaging, and also had some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. This was definitely a vacation highlight.

    A must do in Hong Kong! Bill was an awesome host, guide and teacher. The experience starts with a short tour around the markets and Bill gives interesting details about how the markets function and the cuisine of Hong Kong. Then you go up to the studio and make some of the best food you’ve ever tasted. Be advised that the dishes are pretty pork heavy, but I do think Bill can make accommodations if you don’t eat pork. However, everything was amazing. He thoughtfully walked us through each step of cooking the meals and gave us tips and corrections along the way. He also made some great recommendations for condiments and ingredients That we can get back home to re-create the dishes. In the end, we had a feast of incredibly flavorful dishes that truly represented the cuisine of Hong Kong. There was so much we had to take some things to go and they only tasted better later on. This is a great way to also meet other tourists and have fun conversations. It’s absolutely worth doing if you’re visiting Hong Kong.

  • Fantastic experience from start to finish

    What a great day! Bill met us at the meeting point and then we walked to the markets. As we strolled through the streets he filled us in on the recent (last 20 years), of history of Hong Kong. Filling us in on the local culture and the commercial or residential uses of the areas. The markets were really interesting and we learned about food regulations for the store holders. The food was fantastically fresh with fish stalls and poultry. The vegetables looked delicious and Bill explained the difference in the sourcing by these small outlets compared to the larger stores. We cooked four dishes, each very simple but delicious. Bill explained every step, what the various ingredients were, why they were incorpirated and the methods used to ensure that elusive but genuine Chinese flavour. For anyone wanting to learn about traditional cooking, this class is to be recommended, no matter what your experience levels.

  • Super experience!

    What a wonderful experience! Bill was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to be around. We learned many new things going through the market and then the cooking experience was perfect! We made 4 delicious dishes and then enjoyed them as a meal. Bill was then so gracious to escort the group back to the train station. He also took the extra time to escort us to a restaurant where we could get Hong Kong’s version of French toast. If you’re trying to decide on a cooking experience don’t pass this one up! Mahalo to Bill!
