About

You’ve all heard that “Xiao Long Bao” is a must try in Taiwan and have possibly fallen in love with the taste already, now imagine you’ll be able to make it yourself!

The morning class is designed for people who enjoy the whole cooking experience, kitchen to dining table! During the 3.5 hour class, you’ll be guided through the historic traditional Kuang Fu market to be fully immersed in the local vibe and meet the vendors who offer locally grown seasonal goods. Our expert CookInn Taiwan chef will pick up spices from the market and you’ll learn the techniques of selecting the fresh ingredients.

Once we return to the cozy CookInn classroom, the cooking fun begins! Be prepared to learn the 3 signature dishes: Xiao Long Bao, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Boba Milk Tea from the chef, teaching you to make the tender skin of the soup dumplings from scratch and showing you how to shake up a perfect Bubble Milk Tea.

The class can be conducted in English, Chinese and Japanese, please write down your preference on the detail page.

"Great class! Highly recommended."

I took this class hoping to learn XLB. I learned that and more (all the other dishes). This class was well-organized and paced properly.

"Xiao Long Bao: A Fun Challenge"

Most of the class was spent on making Xiao Long Bao from scratch, which I would say is challenging to most beginner cooks; one person in the class complained about how difficult it was the entire time. Personally I enjoyed the difficulty, and the instructor did a great job explaining every step. Also made cucumber salad from scratch. Felt like there was less emphasis placed on the beef noodle soup, they showed us how to make the stock but nothing about the noodles or plating at the end. The bubble tea also was not made from scratch, it was more of a history lesson and explanation on how to make it at home. Overall I had fun, and the instructor was very friendly and patient with us.

"Great class and experience!"

I had such a fun time during this class! Not only did we get to learn so many different Taiwanese cooking techniques, our teacher was also so nice and kept the class engaging and fun. After making my own xiolongbao and seeing how much work goes into it, I hold a new appreciation for their juicy and steamy deliciousness.

"Beautiful Space, Incredible Food, Wonderful Instructor"

Perfect! One of the best cooking classes I've ever taken. Loved all the dishes and the sunlit, relaxing space. Recommend this 10/10, one of the highlights of my trip to Taipei.

"Great Class at CookInn Taipei!"

Our market tour and class with Chelsea was wonderful! They had a very well planned schedule and prep. We first went on a tour of the local market and Chelsea introduced us to many vendors and explained the seasonal products. When we returned, we had a class on soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, cucumber salad and bubble milk tea. Everything was well prepared and explained as we were led thru each phase of cooking these dishes. At the end we sat down to dine. I highly recommend this class if you want to learn some delicious Taiwanese cuisine- I will definitely take another class here and have already recommended it to friends!
