Hong Kong Island Cooking Classes

We had just a short amount of free time and were able to fit this in during a work trip to Hong Kong. It was well worth our time. Great food, great instruction and fun tour of the market. Great opportunity to better understand Hong Kong culture

We only had a couple of days in Hong Kong on business but we were able to make time for this class and it was great

We had a lovely time with Bill. The food and Bill were amazing. We cooked and talked about the food, culture and life in Hongkong. It was a complete experience of taste of Hongkong!

My wife and I had a ball. The food, the teaching and the great conversation along the way was all awesome! Would definitely recommend Pots n Pans.

This was a great one on one class. The instructor was friendly and great at explaining how to make everything. Highly recommend!!!!

The class with Kitty was great. As we went through the recipe, she was able to provide detail on why each step was done and what I should be looking out for (e.g how the dough should feel to know it was the right consistency). She also gave me a lot of insight and practice on the wrapping technique and different ways of doing it. I enjoyed the class a lot and can’t wait to try this again at home.

Take this class! Come hungry and you will not be disappointed! Bill's tour of the market and explanation of Hong Kong life (traditional and now) is both fascinating and educational. The cooking studio is a great space to work in. Bill's demonstrations are clear and easy to follow and he provides great tips during the hands on cooking. Talking with Bill about both food and life in Hong Kong made the time go so fast we were surprised the class was over and sad to leave the studio. The food is delicious and we will cook these at home.

My boyfriend & I have always had a passion for cooking. We knew one thing we really wanted to do when he came to visit me in Hong Kong was an authentic Chinese cooking class. We were lucky enough to come across Bill's cooking studio. We started the day by going to the wet market where Bill taught us many interesting facts about the market & the city itself. It was a great way to start a cooking class as we got to see just where & how the locals got their ingredients. Next, Bill took us to the cooking studio where we ate good food, improved our cooking skills, & had a lot of laughs. We were very diligent in taking notes on our recipes to make sure we were able to replicate them to be as tasty as the ones Bill initially cooked for us. We had such a great time with Bill & recommend everyone to check out his cooking classes. We hope to see Bill again in the future so he can help us become even better cooks!

The teacher, Kitty is very friendly. I learnt Xiao Long Bo, Cha Siu (BBQ port) and Cha Siu Bao. Her instructions were simple and clear. She expected you to do the procedures by yourself from measuring to the final dish. However, she was at you side, helping you and teaching you step by step. She even showed you the difficult steps first and let you practice before making it. I am happy to share my end products with her and it's so delicious.

I had very nice time at Felicity’s cooking class. Felicity makes you feel comfortable and she’s a good teacher: we first went to the market with her, then to her home, where the dim sum class started. We made together two kinds of filling (fish and vegetarian) and she showed us 3 different kinds of wrapping...then we boiled the dim sum and eat them together. It was an original and instructive experience in HK and I highly recommend it!

Dumplings are some of the most widely varied in Chinese cuisine with a huge benefit for working adults like me because they can be made in large batches and frozen. The lesson started with shopping for ingredients in the local wet market followed by cooking in her flat. Ms Yau provided an amazingly simple and healthy method of preparing dumplings. Although specific Veges and meat were used, she taught me that you can use various ingredients so long as some guidelines and tips were observed. She then taught me how to food dumplings in for different methods. We then boiled it (most healthy!) for a delicious reward. Highly recommended!

Everything about the cooking class went really well, our host was lovely and helpful, the recipe was excellent and tasted fantastic. It was all great value for money. This is one of the most challenging dishes in the world to make and our host made it a successful experience. We are about to try at home now and see how it goes with out support.

We had a great time learning to cook steamed buns and BBQ pork. Alice was a patient teacher and explained the procedures well.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Bill. He gave an excellent tour of a local market in a working class neighborhood. It was a great way to see how the average person in Hong Kong purchases their food for cooking. The class itself was nearby in a very modern facility. Bill gave very personal instruction and was a pleasure to talk to. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a local and personal cooking experience.

Instructor was very friendly, learnt alot from her!
