Halve dag professioneel Mapo Tofu koken met een lokaal marktbezoek

I really enjoyed the class and the taste was amazing! The market visit was authentic and have a good sense of Chinese cuisine!

It was a very cool experience! Jerry, the tour guide, was very helpful throughout the experience, even before the activity had started. Before the experience had even begun, he reached out to clarify the different workshops that Chilli Uncool had. I eventually changed to the workshop he suggested, "Half-day Chengdu Handmade Tofu Making and Mapo Tofu Cooking Class." We started off the tour with cultural insight of people’s day to day lives than we arrived at the market. Jerry was able to go through the items are specific to the region. We went to the Chilli Uncool office. It had a very homey feel. The ah yi (aunt) already prepped all the things we need to make tofu and cook. While we were settling in, Jerry showed me step by step on how to make their region’s wonton. I was able to make some too! Afterwards, we started to ground the beans by using a stone mortar. The ah yi and Jerry provided lots of details and modeling for the process. We taste tested everything along the process…like soy milk and tofu soup with ah yi handmade sauce. At the end, we made tofu! While the tofu was being solidfied, we cooked mapo tofu with everything prepped already! It was awesome. The ah yi made a few other dishes and explained differences between each region. At the end, we had a great meal of the mapo tofu I made and the other dishes ah yi made too. Jerry was a great conversationalist and very knowledgeable.

100% Recommend this class. We were met at the station by Jerry and taken to a local food market. The food Market was an experience in its self and we ended up picking up some spices to take back home with us. After the Market Jerry took us to where we would be learning to make Mapo Tofu. There we met Leon who was our chef teacher for the morning. both Jerry and Leon were very knowledgeable and were able to answer all our questions. Leon was a very good teach and made it very easy to learn. Our Mapo tofu tasted amazing and I will definitly be making this at home.

My partner and I did a half day cooking class here with translator and guide Lance. This was the perfect activity to end our trip to Chengdu. It was so fun to learn how to make some of our favorite Sichuan dishes. Lance also gave us some fun challenges to do while exploring the market and took great photos of us while we were cooking. It was so fun to learn more about Chengdu food culture!

We had a blast touring the spice market and cooking some really yummy foods. Lance was a great leader and would do another tour with him again if we had the opportunity! -Joey

Had an awesome time with Lance, our local tour guide. Had an exceptional time tasting cooking and making new friends! The day started with us meeting him outside our hostel where he took us to a nearby spice market. He showed us all the different chinese spices and locally grown vegetables and meats. Along the way he organized with the stall owners for us to have a taste of a variety of their produce. We where taught some Chinese by Lance, which we used to ask a lady from the spice market to teach us how to fold dumplings. From there we went to the Chilli Cook head quarters for some local tea. After a rest we where met by a professional chinese cheff who guided us in making 3 stunning chinese dishes. We all ate together and shared stories from our home countries. Everything was included in the price along with refreshments as needed. Great for groups, couples and individuals. Overall had an AWESOME time that elevated our Chengdu experience to a new level!

Really professionally-run company that provides a great way to experience Sichuanese food and cooking. Our guide Hazel was really friendly and informative and learning to cook from the chef was fun. Can't wait to cook the same dishes at home!

It was great! Ocean picked us up at the hotel and went with us to the local market. There was a nice suprise, I won‘t spoil it here. But it was good fun. We where also able to try a lot of things and she explained each thing we saw. The cooking class it self was nice and causy. Our chef was a great teacher and ocean translated everything. We had a gread time. The food was delicius. We also liked that ocean took pictures of us and send them all to us after we finished.

Amazing tour through the market. Got to talk to the locals and meet some amazing people in the cooking-class. Had both delicious meat- and vegetarian options. All of this made into an amazing day thanks to the coolest dude/guide in Chengdu. Love you, Lance.

Loved the class and market tour with hazel. Cooked great food and got to compare our dishes to those of a professional chef which I enjoyed
