We call it the Taiwanese experience. After the walking tour, we will cook Taiwanese cuisine at our cooking school. 【Cooking Classes】 Languages: The class is mainly conducted in English, but Alex also speaks Chinese and some basic Japanese, so there’s no need to worry too much about the language barrier.

  • Great class to learn authentic Taiwanese dishes!

    The cooking class was fantastic!!! My sons, born and raised in the U.S., have liked the dishes ever since they were little when we visited Taiwan. The dishes are popular and available everywhere, but it's not easy to find the true, authentic versions. We finally found the secrets of cooking the dishes from Alex. The walking tour of the market was also great! I learned something that I didn't know since I grew up in Taiwan. I highly recommend this course!

    We had the best time cooking with Alex and Be My Guest Taipei! We were a group of two Taiwanese Americans and an American. We made Lou Ro Fan which is a traditional Taiwanese dish. He took us around the neighborhood which is famous for its history, so we were able to learn a lot about the cultural aspects before cooking. We visited a local market to try some small eats, then he took us to his beautiful kitchen. We made a small dish (recipe from his grandmother) and then made the main dish. It was super well instructed and it never felt like we were sitting around and waiting. He instructed in English and Chinese, which made it feel particularly authentic. We ended up eating all of our dish it was so good!!! Highly highly recommend if you want to learn the history of an important part of Taipei and eat some super delicious, authentic Taiwanese food!

    I have been to Taiwan many times, but this was my first time to participate in a cooking class. I was a little worried because I was alone, but ALEX explained it to me while also using Japanese, which made it easy and fun. I'd like to cook a different dish again!
