Cooking Class: Dumpling Workshop for Kiddos
During this kid-focused cooking class, Chef Wei will get your mini-gourmets rolling in the kitchen and teach them how to make authentic handcrafted dumplings! Not only will they prepare a delicious meal to enjoy, but they'll also learn the fundamentals of Asian cuisine.
Your little cooks will make handmade dough from scratch before transforming it into dumpling wrappers, which they'll then fill with egg, ground pork, bok choy, shrimp and vegetables. Chef Wei will also show them how to create savory shumai featuring sticky rice, pork and vegetables. As a special treat, the little chefs in the making will prepare tapioca pearls from scratch for their very own boba tea!
Kids must be accompanied by an adult for this class; adults required to purchase tickets in addition to kids.

I was incredibly disappointed with this experience, it was almost laughably bad. It started with Chef Wei meeting us at the door with her pajamas pants on and went down from there. Nothing was prepped in advance, the countertops of her kitchen weren't clean, she didn't wash her hands one time during the entire class, the pots, dishes and utensils weren't sterilized. I had taken my partner for a date night and was embarrassed by this experience. I feel we were completely taken advantage of at $120/pp. I do not recommend at all.

Chef Wei was wonderful along with the 3 course creations. She took her time in showing you the steps and created a warm environment. I would definitely recommended booking a class with her.

Chef Wei is an experienced culinary instructor with her specialty being dim sum. She is a delight to learn from and her dishes are just as enjoyable. I enjoyed learning a new cuisine type from Chef Wei.
