上海烹飪課程

We had a great time with CiCi. She was so kind and gave us very good advice how to make the small dumplings. The result was to tasty and in addition that we had a great chat with her. We exchanged a lot and just had a great time. We really recommend to take part on this class, its fun and there's a lot to learn.

Ci Ci was an amazing teacher. Very friendly, attentive and kind. Our experience was exemplary. Highly recommended

Amazing moment shared with Cici. She made us feel comfortable right away and generously shared her passion for Chinese cuisine, especially Chinese dumplings. We learned all the basics needed to recreate xiaolongbao by ourselves. We had the opportunity to make both the classic version of these dumplings and a vegetarian one, which was also absolutely delicious. To accompany the xiaolongbao, Cici prepared some traditional side dishes that were excellent and truly enhanced the overall Chinese cooking class experience.

It was this Chinese Wok Course with Mike the professional Chef and in the days before I even got to determine the "menu" i.e. the three dishes to be prepared! I chose my super favorite 辣子鸡 làzijī along with home style tofu and some extremely surprising recipe of a whole fish on minced pork that I had just had in Hainan. This way we had covered Tofu, Chicken, Fish, Pork and Vegetables and also deep frying, stir-frying, and steaming. Mike had provided three portions of ingredients each. He first showed us every step and then had us repeat it individually, so in the end we had on the table three versions of everything, and could even compare and evaluate. Soooooo good! And still very different! The master's version always stood out impeccable. These were very concise and elegant recipes, very easy to cook at home (I hope). Thank you so very much, Chef Mike!

It was a pleasant morning, the time flew by. We made dumplings, and Cici was very attentive to my dietary needs. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who want to try authentic cuisine.

CiCi is a great hostess and cooking instructor. Her english is very good. Her kitchen is very clean and modern. We learned to cook dim sum from scratch. Both vegetarian and non vegetarian versions. Afterwards we indulged in the delicious food. Our class was small. 4 people total. My wife and I live in Atlanta GA. The other couple was from France. Great experience. I endorse and highly recommend CiCi's cooking class.

Cici was a fantastic host, the best I have had so far! She shared the techniques and recipes on how to make pork and vegetarians soup dumplings. Her English is fluent and she teaches really well. Besides that, she is such a good conversationalist. Would highly recommend her!

​Our family of four, my husband, our two sons, and I recently had the most incredible experience at Ci Ci’s cooking class in Shanghai. We’ve always been big fans of Dim Sum, so getting the chance to learn how to make Xiao Long Bao from scratch was a dream come true for all of us. ​The studio itself was remarkably spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, which made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped in. The highlight for my middle and elementary school sons was definitely hand-crafting the delicate dumpling skins. They were so focused and proud of their creations, and it was wonderful to see them so engaged in a hands-on activity. ​What truly set this class apart, however, were the stories Ci Ci shared. It wasn't just a cooking lesson; it was a deep dive into Chinese culture and history. In Korea, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is legendary, so we were pleasantly surprised and delighted when she started sharing tales about Zhuge Liang. It felt like a beautiful bridge between our two cultures. ​It was a perfect blend of education, family bonding, and delicious food. If you are in Shanghai, I cannot recommend this class enough. It made our trip so much more meaningful!

Max was great, he knew about the food and the history of the area he was great will recommend this tour

The walking tour was undoubtedly my most interesting experience in Shanghai (and I ate out at a couple Michelin starred restaurants, and had multiple dozen plus course meals). Joy brings her knowledge of, and passion for food and the city to the tour. I would highly, highly recommend the tour.

Our teacher Cici was highly proficient in English, and skilled in helping us create delicious xiao long bao. She not only walked us through the entire process, but also taught us the significance and history behind different aspects of the dumplings. I highly recommend this experience for families, as it's a fun and entertaining activity to do for all ages, and a great way to learn about Chinese culture.

We took a Xiao Long Bao cooking class in Shanghai with my 7-year-old son, and it was a truly heartwarming experience. From making the dough and filling by hand to steaming and sharing the dumplings together, every step felt thoughtful and engaging. The instructor’s warm guidance, cultural stories, and relaxed conversation made the class feel personal and meaningful. A memorable experience for both my child and myself, and one we will remember for a long time.

Fantastic experience! I loved the class, and Cici was wonderful. she explained everything clearly and in great detail.

Teacher Ci Ci cooks and teaches from the heart so not only is it a cooking lesson, it is also a cultural lesson and her health consciousness is an inspiration for me. The end result was delicious xlb that will certainly satisfy our cravings for din tai fung xlb. Her ingredients are super fresh too. My whole family felt very relaxed and enjoyed the experience to the maximum. We hope to return for more master classes in future. We will surely think of Teacher Ci Ci every time we prepare xiao long bao with her very authentic recipe.

We had a lot of fun during the class. Cici was so nice and great at teaching us the different dumpling techniques and telling us about the Chinese culture and where she came from. All in all a really great experience, that we would definitely recommend - and the dumplings just tasted amazing:)
