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!

5.00Excellent experience. Logistics very well organized, starting from the market tour until the cooking in a master chef looking kitchen. Bill has plenty of stories to tell, lets peope ask and experiment, and can make people feel relaxed and at ease. We will return home with three new dishes to cook. Highly recommended.
Fun cooking

4.00It’s always great to get to know a culture through their food, and Pots and Pans provided just that! Bill is very knowledgeable and the cooking studio is well-equipped. Would like to make some more complicated dishes next time!
A delicious way to learn about Hong Kong culture, history and food

5.00Fantastic 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!
Great cooking class experience

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.

A Great Way to Learn About, and Make, Local Cuisine!

5.00We 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.

5.00A 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.
