Jin's TABLE

Nous avons eu beaucoup de chance car personne d'autre n'avait réservé le cours ce jour-là. Du coup, il n'y avait que mon amie et moi, ce qui était vraiment génial. L'ambiance était très détendue et Jin était très patiente et expliquait très bien, répondant à toutes nos questions sur la nourriture et sa culture. Il y a tellement à apprendre !

Notre grande famille multigénérationnelle a adoré son cours de cuisine avec Jin. C'était un des moments forts de notre voyage à Taïwan. Nous avons appris énormément de choses et avons hâte de reproduire les plats à la maison. Elle a également su s'adapter à notre allergie aux noix. Je recommande vivement !

Nous avons adoré le cours de cuisine ! Même notre fils de 5 ans a été captivé, s'est beaucoup amusé et en garde un excellent souvenir, malgré son état de santé fragile. Les plats préparés étaient délicieux, les hôtes étaient très accueillants et nous avons adoré écouter leurs histoires et apprendre de nouvelles recettes.

C'était un petit groupe, Jin était très patiente et nous a fait découvrir la cuisine Hakka pendant le cours. Nous avons d'abord appris à faire le gâteau à l'ananas, les nouilles, puis le leicha, pour terminer le cours par une soupe copieuse. À recommander absolument !

L'endroit chez Jin est un lieu très chaleureux et accueillant. Dès qu'on y entre, on est frappé par l'amour et l'originalité qui s'en dégagent ! Jin est passionnée par ses origines et adore en parler dans les moindres détails. Le cours était l'un de mes préférés et nous avons déjà prévu le prochain ! Si vous êtes dans les parages, ne le ratez pas !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Jin. C'est une hôtesse formidable et le lieu est charmant. Le repas que nous avons préparé était l'un des plus savoureux que nous ayons mangés à Taïwan et les gâteaux à l'ananas étaient absolument délicieux ! Elle nous a fait découvrir sa culture, ce qui était passionnant. Ses instructions étaient claires, elle nous a partagé ses techniques et nous a même donné quelques conseils pour faire les courses. Merci Jin !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment en cours ! Jin est un professeur absolument charmant, elle rend le cours très accessible et captivant.

L'endroit était vraiment charmant et Jin très sympathique. Les cours de cuisine étaient amusants et les informations sur les plats et la culture hakka étaient passionnantes. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !

La meilleure pâtisserie à l'ananas que j'aie jamais mangée. Fraîchement sortie du four, elle est divine. Les nouilles étaient bonnes. Préparer le thé Lei était amusant. J'ai adoré les histoires. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance et l'atmosphère relaxante. Merci pour cette expérience fantastique.

Jin est une professeure vraiment adorable, avec une grande connaissance de la culture et de la gastronomie. Elle est très accessible et ses instructions de cuisine étaient excellentes. J'ai adoré les pâtisseries à l'ananas que nous avons préparées ensemble.

Jin était une professeure patiente, bienveillante et interactive qui partageait non seulement les recettes des plats, mais aussi leur histoire. Ce cours est incontournable pour les gourmets en quête d'une expérience personnalisée.

J'ai adoré la séance interactive avec Jin ! On a pu découvrir nos cultures respectives, l'histoire des plats, des techniques culinaires, et savourer nos créations depuis un balcon avec une vue imprenable. L'accueil était excellent, l'organisation impeccable et le petit groupe permettait à chacun de bénéficier d'un accompagnement personnalisé. Je recommande vivement ! ✨

Moment parfait !

Super cours ! Jin était adorable et ses informations étaient très pertinentes. C'était très amusant et délicieux.

J'ai adoré le cours et Jin était géniale. Non seulement la nourriture était excellente et la cuisine merveilleuse, mais en plus, découvrir son héritage et l'histoire de cette cuisine était vraiment passionnant. Nous recommandons vivement ce cours !

J'ai adoré le cours de cuisine. Les plats étaient vraiment délicieux. L'endroit est magnifique et le professeur est très sympathique et partage de nombreuses anecdotes et connaissances culturelles intéressantes. Je recommande vivement ! Bonne continuation :)

Ce fut sans aucun doute l'un des moments forts, si ce n'est LE moment fort, de notre séjour de quatre jours à Taipei ! Jin est adorable et une excellente professeure. Elle a répondu à toutes nos questions sur la culture du haka, l'histoire chinoise et taïwanaise, etc. De plus, elle nous a donné de précieux conseils sur les activités à faire à Taïwan, loin des sentiers battus. Son nouvel appartement est magnifique et très bien conçu. Un grand merci à Jin !

Malgré toutes mes allergies, Jin a organisé des substitutions optimales pour que je ne manque de rien. Elle a donné des explications claires sur chaque plat, en y intégrant un contexte culturel, a fait des démonstrations de préparation et a supervisé les participants. Le tout s'est déroulé dans une ambiance détendue et chaleureuse, dans un cadre exceptionnel. Je n'aurais pas pu rêver d'un meilleur cours de cuisine. C'était un des moments forts de mon séjour à Taipei. Je le recommande vivement !

Super cours ! On a partagé l'histoire et la cuisine autochtones tout en cuisinant de délicieux plats.

Ambiance très détendue. Visite très instructive, j'ai beaucoup appris sur la cuisine hakka. Et pour couronner le tout, la nourriture est absolument délicieuse.

Lorsque mon copain et moi avons planifié notre voyage à Taïwan, nous souhaitions découvrir la cuisine taïwanaise et nous nous sommes donc inscrits. En fait, nous travaillons tous les deux comme cuisiniers dans un hôtel ! C'était vraiment amusant et enrichissant d'apprendre de nouvelles cuisines dans un nouveau pays ! Il semble que vous ayez récemment changé le lieu du cours de cuisine, et c'était très agréable et original. Lors de ma prochaine visite, j'aimerais découvrir d'autres spécialités taïwanaises.

L'atelier culinaire « Jin's Table » a été une expérience fantastique. En nous inscrivant, nous pensions simplement préparer un plat hakka et repartir avec. Mais nous avons eu la chance de cuisiner plusieurs mets, sucrés et salés. Jin était adorable et ses instructions étaient claires et faciles à suivre. C'était génial de passer du temps là-bas, à cuisiner, à découvrir la cuisine hakka et à en apprendre davantage sur ses ingrédients. Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience à tous ceux qui en ont l'occasion !

Mon amie et moi nous sommes inscrites à ce cours à la dernière minute, pendant notre séjour à Taipei. Jin, le professeur, était super et les plats que nous avons préparés étaient délicieux. C'était une façon vraiment agréable de passer l'après-midi. Je recommande vivement si vous êtes à Taipei.

Apparemment, c'était la première fois que Jin avait des clients musulmans pratiquants, et il a fallu ajuster quelques ingrédients de dernière minute pour les nouilles. Mais dans l'ensemble, l'expérience a été très agréable et conviviale ! Nous sommes des cuisiniers novices, mais Jin et sa collègue nous ont patiemment et gentiment guidés à travers notre pâte à tarte collante et nos quelques erreurs de mémoire 🤣 1) La confiture d'ananas maison qu'elles ont fournie pour les pâtisseries était délicieuse. Bien meilleure que celle que nous avons achetée plus tard pour ramener à la maison 🤣 2) Jin a eu la gentillesse de nous offrir des piments, que j'ai utilisés généreusement. La personnalisation du repas était donc un vrai plus ! (Pour la version halal, elle a remplacé le poulet par du tofu séché et les échalotes frites au saindoux par des échalotes frites à l'huile végétale.) 3) Le thé lei est vraiment unique ! À goûter absolument. Il semble excellent pour la digestion. D'ailleurs, ça se marie parfaitement avec les pâtisseries à l'ananas. 4) Jin et sa collègue sont très sympathiques et avaient plein d'histoires intéressantes à raconter ! Ses expériences personnelles et le mode de vie du peuple Hakka. Et comme l'ont mentionné de nombreux commentateurs, les chats étaient adorables ! Jin les appelait en plaisantant ses « colocataires turbulents qu'elle devait probablement dans une vie antérieure », mais on sentait bien leur affection 😚💕

C'était la première fois que je prenais un cours de cuisine à l'étranger ! Jin nous a enseigné avec gentillesse, ce qui nous a permis d'apprécier le cours. C'est une excellente occasion d'essayer à nouveau.

We had a great experience at this class! The cats were so sweet (especially Debbie) and we learned a lot about Hakka food and culture in a very intimate and cozy setting. Our host let us cook at our own pace and ask as many questions as we needed. And the food was delicious!

Jin's cooking class was a really great experience and definitely a must-do in Taiwan. Jin accommodated really well to dietary needs and personalized the experience for us as we requested prior if we could make dumplings and she provided. It was such a great laidback and intimate vibe in her little house, and we loved the additional entertainment and company of her cats. The food was delicious, and it was really interesting learning about the Hakka culture and the origins of the food we were cooking. The four of us all enjoyed our dumplings, noodles and pineapple cakes served with Jin's homemade plum wine at the end of the class. Highly recommend!

The class was a great experience. Jin was amazing to talk to, the cooking was easy to follow, and the food was delicious (I had the vegetarian option). Highly recommend it to anyone in Taipei.

Our group really enjoyed this activity and can't recommend it enough. None of us are skilled cooks but Jin made it so easy for us to follow along, and everything we made turned out delicious. We also loved learning about Hakka culture, and that we made dishes that are unique versus most other cooking classes in Taipei, all in a cozy home setting. Thank you Jin and Weiwei!

Good class. Jin is very nice. The food was good. I think the pineapple cake was my highlight. I liked learning about the history.

Jin is truly amazing! She creates such a warm cozy environment for a small group to learn how to cook traditional Hakka dishes. The class is very personal as she opens her home to you and shares about her culture and knowledge around food. Every course comes partially prepared to make an easy, well-timed out class. We start with different variations of pineapple cakes, which truly may be one of the best things we try while in Taiwan! The Hakka noodles are delicious and allow you to adapt the flavor slightly to your own preferences. The Lei Cha was a fun activity as we chatted more about Jin's culture and the food we just created. We truly can not recommend this class enough! Easily one of the best experiences we had in all of Taiwan!

Love our time with Jin and WeiWei, the perfect way to spend a long layover in Taipei.

外国で初めて料理教室に行くため、非常に緊張していましたが、先生はとてもフレンドリーで、教え方も上手なため、リラックスして過ごせました。パイナップルケーキは手作りのほうがより美味しく感じられます。機会があったら、別の料理も習ってみたいと思います。

YOU SHOULD TRY THIS! Jin, her coworker and even their cats were so nice. To me it was more than cooking, it was a cultural experience. Jin introduced us Hakanese tradition with her own history and that made me feel this class more special. I got shocked by how time flew at the end. Definitely recommendable for anybody in any age. 대추천~! 수업에 한국인들 많이 온다고 하더라고요 . 조리법이 어렵지 않아서 아이들과 함께해도 정말 좋을 거 같음!!! 요리는 눈으로 보고 손으로 하고 입으로 먹는 거라 언어 장벽도 없었고 취향 안 타게 맛있었어요. 그리고 착하고 예의바르고 귀여운 고양이 네 마리있음.

My kids had so much fun and we loved to experience cooking traditional Hakanese(?) food.

Jin is a great instructor and the food that we made was delicious. I learned a lot about both cooking Taiwanese food and about Taiwanese culture. The flexibility in the recipes allowed me made my dishes vegetarian in the case of the pineapple dessert and vegan in the case of the rice noodles. Jin's location is very easy to walk to from a train station in Taipei making it easy to reach for those of us who don't know the area well. Highly recommended for all.

Really enjoyed the class and my time with Jin learning about Hakanese cooking!

Jin is a pro! Proud of her culture and happy to open up about its food, history, traditions and her own journey and relationship with that. She took care to adapt to a plant based menu as I had requested with no problems and during the class is very attentive to safety and hygiene. I loved this experience and I wish you every success Jin!

3-hours cooking class was all with satisfaction. In a cozy house, Kind chef, Delicious meal. My kids say that they want get class again.

The experience was very enjoyable with informative background from Jin. She was supportive, patient and ensured we had ample time to craft the hakka dishes to the best of our ability (which isn't saying much). Overall, would suggest this activity to anyone interested in cooking traditional Taiwanese hakka food.

Jin is a lovely host, very personable and easy-going. We appreciated how she accommodated to our vegetarian and vegan dietary requests. Everything we made was very delicious. It was a lot of fun! Liked how we got to learn about Hakka culture and where the ingredients came from. Looking forward to recreating these dishes at home! Was nice of Jin to take several photos during the class that were sent soon after. It felt like being a TV chef as all the ingredients are prepared ahead of time and once the pineapple cake was ready to bake, Jin takes care of the oven so you can focus on the fun stuff. A real highlight of our Taiwan trip!

Jin is a great host and teacher. The food was delicious and picked up some new recipes to try at home.

영어 잘 못해도 충분히 하실 수 있고 편안한 분위기에서 즐겁게 할 수 있어요. 음식들도 정말정말 맛있고 진이 만든 와인도 시음해볼수 있어서 좋았어요. 술을 잘마셨다면 한잔 사먹었을텐데! (더 마시고 싶으면 잔으로 팔더라구요) 하카 문화도 알수있고 음식이나 재료가 한국음식이랑 비슷한점들이 있어 더 흥미로웠어요. 적극 추천해요!! Jin, Thank you for your special class. I was so happy to spend time in your class. I will keep this memory for a lifetime.

It was so enjoyable in the class. Jin was knowledgeable about cooking and Hakka culture. Even if I'm a Taiwanese, I didn't know much about Hakka history. She was thoughtful about for us cause we were one vegan and two non-vegan. So she preparing two types of Ingredients for us. Jin has passionate to introduce Taiwanese traditional food for foreigners. I respect her great purpose. House is lovely and two adorable cats. it was such a pleasant time to join this course. I definitely will recommend my friends to go and wish she can teach more cooking classes. I'd like to learn more about Taiwanese food culture.

It was a good chance to know about Hakka! And I loved the song that was played during the class. On the website, it only said the class has vegetarian option. But the class has vegan option as well!

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Jin. First, Jin was an amazing teacher and we learned about Hakka culture and cuisine. Second, the cooking was fun and the food was fresh and delicious. Jin’s home is an oasis. I’m so glad that we booked the class during our trip to Taiwan!

We had a lovely time with Jon. She made it really easy to follow the recipe and the food was great.

소규모 인원으로 구성되는 수업이라 좋았습니다. 타이페이의 쿠킹 클래스는 대부분 우육면이나 샤오룽바오 만들기 수업이 대부분인데, 저는 두 음식을 크게 좋아하지 않아서 Jin's Table의 수업이 더 끌렸어요. 볶음쌀국수, 하카레이차, 펑리수 전부 만들기도 쉽고 너무 맛있었어요~ 같이 간 친구도 대만족이었습니다. 호스트인 Jin과 Jin의 친구 모두 친절하고, 알아듣기 쉽게 얘기해주어서 어려움 없이 즐거운 시간 보냈습니다. 중간중간에 타이베이나 인근 관광지에 대한 정보도 얻을 수 있었습니다.

While on holidays I tend to do a cooking class to experience part of the culture. Jins table did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Lots to eat. Jin is friendly and personable and I’m glad that I attended.

I enjoyed my session with Jin, a bubbly lady with a generous heart. She was really nice and she shared a lot about her Hakka roots, childhood stories, and culinary greatness. The verity of songs played during the class made the space lively, especially getting to listen to Hakka songs was bonus! A man delivered strawberries to the house while I was there, without any hesitation, she washed some and offered me to savor freshly picked strawberries of the season.

진짜 좋았어요~ 친절하시고 그렇게 어렵지도 않아서 금방 따라하실 것 것 같아요, 또 영어로 진행되지만 영어 잘 못해도 크게 상관은 없을것 같아요~~ It was really nice! she was really kind, a nd the program is not that hard, so you can enjoy it!!

Jin was very nice and patiently explained us how to prepare 3 typical Hakka dishes. She is clearly a great cook, and also a great baker: she made a special birthday cake for my friends birthday!

Jin was a very welcoming and knowledgeable host! My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed the cooking class, in which we did not just learn how to make two dishes (pineapple cake and fried noodles) and tea but we also had the chance to learn from the host about the local culture and traditions, and she was very patient answering all the Questions! Advised experience for those who want to get in touch with the local culture from a different perspective!

Truly enjoyable experience in a cozy atmosphere. Very well prepared and outcome was really tasty. Learned a lot about Hakka people and culture. Recommend to anyone.

Jin is very friendly host and this cooking class studio has very homy and cozy feeling in every best way. Me and my sister had the best time and she answers our questions in great details. It was very helpful and so much fun! Friend noodle dish is very tasty but I have to say, pineapple cake really stole the show! So yummy! 저는 언니랑 둘이 수업을 들었는데 수업 듣는 곳 아기자기하고 멋집니다. 진님과 진님의 친구가 수집한 다양한 소품들, 방문한 사람들이 준 선물들로 차있는, 시간이 쌓인 공간.. 친언니가 요리를 잘 하지 못해서 본인이 수업을 못 따라 갈까봐 걱정 많이 했는데 요리 초보자에게 전혀 어렵지 않은 수업입니다. 음식에 대해서 말하자면 하카 음식에서 중요한, 쌀로 만든 국수가 중심이 되는 요리였는데, 이 국수가 약간 쌀국수와 떡의 중간 식감이라고 상상하시면 될 것 같습니다. 넷플릭스 다큐에서 본 음식을 실제로 먹게되어서 너무 신났어요. (다큐 시리즈 이름 까먹었는데 20분 남짓의 아주 짧은 비디오이고, 중국이나 대만에서 만든 다큐를 넷플릭스에서 스트리밍 해주는 것 같습니다.) 아무튼 펑리수는 단연코 제 인생 펑리수.. 진님이 직접 만드신 수제 파인애플 속이 정말 너무 맛있습니다. 엄마랑 같이 가도 좋을 것 같고, 아니면 친구랑 같이 가도 좋을 것 같습니다. 영어로 소통하는데 문제 없었지만 영어 그렇게 잘 못하시더라도 수업 듣는데 문제 될 것 같진 않습니다! 아주 추천합니다.

3品の料理を習いました。知りたっかったワードも理解が出来て、有意義な時間でした。先生も分かりやすく説明してくださいました。 場所の確認が出来ずに、少し迷いました。 次回は、違った料理も習いたいです。

I had the absolute best time with Jin! She is such a warm and welcoming person and it felt like cooking with my own family. Her home and kitchen is homey and warm and I appreciated the authentic space, as this is Jin's real home and it's really beautiful, filled with food, plants and cook books. Jin is a real foodie, so for anyone who really loves food and cooking, the conversations with Jin will be enlightening and a true glimpse into Hakka culture, farming, preserving food and authentic Taiwanese history. She taught me so much about her Hakka culture as well as food in Taipei. As a vegetarian, I appreciated her accommodation of my meat-free needs. So vegetarians can be sure they will get a great experience! The food was so delicious, and Im going home with new exciting recipes, cooking methods and inspiration to prepare Taiwanese food at home. Don't let the Hakka Lei Cha Tea Grinding fool you, this is the highlight of the class, you will learn about something really special here, and will go back home with the most unique and nutritious meal recipe. She was also kind enough to give me loads of tips on other things to do in Taipei! If you need to choose a food class in Taipei, choose Jin's Table, you will love it! Thank you, Jin! I will never forget you, it feels like I met a long lost friend.

Jin was a great host. She taught us a bit about Hakka culture and was very generous. In addition to the noodles and pineapple cakes we made, she shared her delicious homemade plum wine.

I can finally make the 鳳梨酥(pineapple cake)!!!!! I'm vegetarian(almost vegan) and I've never ever thought about making vegan pineapple cake. It was really good taste and much much better than the factory products. It was also not too difficult to make at all. And I made the taiwan tipical fried noodle. It was really easy to make and the taste was good. I can make this everyday. And I've learned about the haka food and culture. She was a warm hearted and a such good personallity. I had a really good time. I want to visit her class again to learn more another cooking. Thank you Jin

Jin is a wonderful teacher and this was an excellent experience . We made several dishes from the Hakka region and culture and some delicious pineapple cake. You get the recipes at the end. Would highly recommmend this class to those looking for an authentic experience to learn about a rare and rich culture.

Jin is both personable and professional. She's not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable cook, she's a lovely person who sets you completely at ease. Before you know it you've learned a lot and made some absolutely delicious food. Great for rookies like myself or accomplished cooks who want to learn some fine points. Highly highly recommended.

It was a cozy residence in an authentic Chinese area. My husband and I were excited to visit a private house where Jin offered a superb cooking lesson. Since the group was small, we could ask questions freely and learned about the Hakka culture. And of course we enjoyed the food, cooking and tasting 3 dishes in 3 hours. It was well planned so that we didn't waste any time. We'd like to come back to take a lesson again.

Great teacher, yummy food, amazing time. They also happily accommodated for our dietary requirements.

Yesterday's activity was really good and very pleasant!! Jin is very nice and generous.. She not just cook but also explained the hakka culture and where the food the we cooked come from. For me was really interesting to hear and understand. The house is very clean, the equipments are very clean and her house is very neat.. I really had a good time and I would love to come back again!
