We did tour reviews with Chili Cool China in the same day, which were both amazing, but I’m going to leave separate reviews for both. We met our first guide, Jerry, for this bao bun making class in our first morning in Chengdu. He started off by walking us around the city and introducing the cuisine. He got us a few street foods to try, which were really unique and interesting. Then he took us to the market, and shared his vast knowledge on staples of Sichuan food, from spices to meat to vegetables. Rather than only tell us bao bun specific foods, he took us all around the market explaining Chengdu’s amazing food as a whole, and giving us tastes of different things like pickled vegetables, special cooked meats, and the like. Then, we went to Chili Cool’s location near there and were given some tea before starting the cooking class. They showed us the different spices and fillings we could choose, and helped us pick what we wanted in our bao buns. We helped make the filling and the dough, and were taught how to close the buns and cook them. They also gave us side dishes we could try, and we had a feast at the end and took home the leftovers. It was so tasty and fun, and our guide Jerry was hilarious and lively for the whole experience. He made the class really fun and enjoyable! Chili Cool is fantastic, and given that we did two tours in one day I can confidently say that this is a company that does amazing work and strives to give a great experience every time.
We attended the cooking class as a family (parents + teenager boy). We can say that this was one of our highlights on our 14 day trip to China. Our guide Lance picked us up on time at the agreed meeting point. We then walked around a local market together. We particularly liked the many goods on offer. Lance went to a lot of effort to explain everything to us, as many foods and dishes were completely unfamiliar to us.
Then it was time to cook. We really had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. It's really harder than we thought ! Of course, you get the recipe and the list of ingredients and we have already cooked the buns at home.
Thank you very much for this wonderful day and best wishes from Berlin!
