Organic Xiao Long Bao Soup Dumpling Class With Market Walk

You will learn a lot from the soup dumpling experience, from soup to nuts. Under guiding hands, you'll stroll through the market to gather the best ingredients for today's class. Gentle-people, offer to carry something. Once shopping is complete, you'll head to the cafe to make dumplings. Before entering the cafe, there is a shop where libations can be bought. Don't forget the nuts! You may need a snack before your dumplings are ready. Under simple patient instructions, you will learn the complete procedure: filling, soup, dumpling wrapper, and dumpling forming. We spent about 2 hours making 10 dumplings each. Finally, we ate our own creations. I had new-found respect for dumpling makers but was glad I could now make my own if I wished.

Great class starting with quick tour of local market with few explanations then making the xiao long bao in a cute coffee place. Feliz was very nice, we enjoyed the class very much and it was delicious! Also she took a photo of us and printed it on a polaroid for us, very nice touch and souvenir!

Feliz is a wonderful local guide. She met us at MTR Jordan Station and walked us through the Temple Street Night Market and explained local cuisine at each of the stalls. We also bought the organic pork for the dumpling filling so you know it's fresh - chopped and minced right in front of your eyes at the butcher! Then we walked to a local cafe where the cooking lesson begins! Making dumplings from scratch is a lot of work but we all had a great time - with a delicious soupy reward at the end to fill our bellies! My children ages 10 and 13 had a lovely experience. We enjoyed talking with the other members of the group - always neat to talk with other tourists and share ideas for things to do. Highly recommended - a unique culinary experience!
