Xiao Long Bao, Pork Thick Soup, Bubble Milk Tea. (Taiwan Cooking Class)-b

Great experience. Went with my kids and the instructor was able to adjust the activity so my youngest could do it.

This was an excellent cooking class with a delicious meal. Serena was such a wonderful and gracious instructor. Her pacing and detail was on point. I’ve taken several cooking classes in my travels and I’d rank this as one of the best for the value and excellent instructions.

This class was really great and the leader was excellent at teaching the pinching technique for bao. I was only sad that we did not learn how to make the bobas, she had them pre made/rolled, and we only learned how to cook them and place them with the milk/tea. Overall a great studio/cooking space and excellent instruction! A tasty meal!!

Family of four (two teens) enjoyed this class. Something for everyone. We made Xiao long Bao (soup dumplings) a kind of pork soup and finished with bubble tea. A lot to help for those who struggled to make sure everyone had a successful outcome. Overall was very well managed and everyone was involved. Got to eat it all at the end which turned out to be a pretty filling meal. We didn’t need dinner! Everyone left with a cute certificate with recipes to take home. And they took a lot of pictures which they shared with us as we left. Definitely recommend.

Must do experience in Taipei! Made some of the best soup dumplings and bubble tea I have ever had. Definitely walked away with some appreciation for Taiwanese cooking and some cool recipes to make at home. Really enjoyed the class and the hands on experience.

Excellent cooking class with a great instructor. Highly recommend anyone visiting Taipei to attend. Well worth it.

Vivian and team are great and the best! I got to try everything. What a nice day to start my trip in Taiwan

Great class, learned a lot. The food me wade was great, they taught us some authentic recipes. The instructors were very kind and helpful, I wish I could do another class.

This cooking class was a great way to end our trip to Taiwan! It was fun, very well organized and delicious. They even took photos and sent them to us, which is nice to have as a memory. This class is well worth the money, I definitely recommend doing it if you are in Taipei.

We had such an amazing experience with Vivian and her team! Somehow, with lots assistance and laughs, delicious XLB dumplings magically folded within our hands. It really makes you appreciate the craft that is behind these treats. The thick pork soup tasted phenomenal (despite its pedestrian name) and boba tea made for a perfect ending to our meal. I can't wait to return to learn more about Taiwanese cooking.

Good instruction, kind atmosphere, tasty dishes! Had a fantastic time and hope to try other course next time!

It was a wonderful experience! The amount of time was perfect and the staff is great. My husband has never made the little dumpling soups, and I he now knows the amount of effort that goes into them.

This class has been the highlight of our trip to Taiwan! The instructors are the most caring people you will ever meet and they did everything they could to make sure we had an informative and fun experience. They even put up with my son trying to make dumplings, which was a hard task to teach him :). We loved everything we made, which was also a big deal for my son since he is such a picky eater normally. After this class, he was asking for second helpings! Thank you so much CookingFun.

Really enjoyed taking this class with my tween and mother who is in her 70s. This was a very family-friendly, hands-on class. Each person got to make their own xiao long baos and bobba tea, and each family made a pot of soup together. The food was delicious and plentiful. Instructors spoke fluent Chinese and English. They were really accommodating to my daughter's dietary restriction as well (be sure to let them know in advance), which was much appreciated. They took photos and videos during the class and air dropped them to us and provided printed recipes to take home. Highly recommend for a fun experience learning authentic Chinese cuisine.

Absolutely would recommend. It was one of our family’s favorite activities while in Taiwan. Experiencing and tasting authentic Taiwanese dishes which you participate in making. The bubble milk tea is delicious. The dumplings are very fun to make and the instructions were easy to follow and engaging. We enjoyed making and eating the thick pork soup too! The teachers are so patient and helpful. The studio space was clean, well organized and ingredients fresh. Highly recommend.

It was exactly as other reviews described it: a very lovely experience! They were extremely kind and thoughtful, everything is very well organized: they even take pictures while you cook! They cheer on you and want to watch you succeed in making these xiao long bao so they give you advice and support you during the whole process. Their recipes are really good, and the bubble tea was the best one I've tried! So far it has been one of my favorite experiences in Taipei. Thank you for you patience and for sharing your knowledge with us!

Cooking Fun is a family-run cooking school that has recently opened - and the venue is sparking clean and so very nice! Probably the nicest and cleanest cooking class I’ve ever participated in. You could tell the owner Vivian has put thought and detail into every single aspect of the experience (from individual bowls/tools and stickers to label your food so everyone eats only what they’ve touched, to a nice relaxing bathroom (again - SO CLEAN) with hand lotion). There are 8 individual stations with a demo station at the front, and a lovely dining area to sit afterwards and enjoy your creation. Today we were a class of English-speakers so Jenny was there to guide us and translate for master chef Vivian. It was nice having so much attention as our class was small. This is a hands-on class, not just watching the instructor - so be prepared to engage! When it came time to cooking, everything was thoughtfully portioned and timed. In this class we each made 7 soup dumplings, a local soup similar to hot and sour (which was enough for 2 bowls per person), and boba milk tea. We had some students with dietary restrictions so Vivian and Jenny were able to individually customize recipes to their requirements. The soup dumplings were quite challenging to make, but with the instructors’ expert advice, they all turned out great. They also took lots of photos so we didn’t have to handle our phones with dirty hands, and sent them to us via email. I cannot stress enough how kind and thoughtful they were. At the end we received an adorable certificate with the recipes inside. 10/10 would recommend for both beginners and experts!!!

It was wonderful, the staff and other participants were amazing. Very good food we had to cook. Highly recommended!

It was a beautiful kitchen, and I was taught how to do it. Take your time and learn how to make Xiaolongbao from the skin. The teacher will help you where wrapping is difficult. He also teaches me the ropes. I wanted to explain in Japanese, but it was available in both Japanese and English. Many of the other participants were in English, so it was good to hear various stories. On the way back, I was given a detailed recipe written in Japanese, so I would like to make it. It was what I expected. I looked for other cooking classes, but I thought they were a little cheaper and more affordable.

I think it's an experience you can't quite do. The room was very clean and a six-year-old enjoyed it. The teacher is good at Japanese and kind, and she realized the importance of food from her parenting experience and studied it in various ways, and I sympathized with that feeling.
