I really like the dan dan noodles course I did with Ocean, Amy and the local instructor. The spice market tour was very fun, especially when it became hands-on. I had to make ten chaoshou and learn the Mandarin to buy some. This was a lot of fun and I'm so glad that it was a part of the experience. The cooking experience was also fun as well. Thankfully, it's not very complicated. They walked me through all the ingredients before we started. It definitely feels like something I can replicate on my own. And oh the noodles were delicious!LuElCl

My family and I went on a half day class, while in Chengdu for a week. We had visited some of the markets before we went with Lance. The market he took us to was one of the best and it was great to be able to ask him questions about the things we had been wondering about. The kids especially enjoyed the chilli cool challenges - which got them searching for the hottest chilli etc. The cooking class was also great, hosted in a szechuan culinary school, the facilities were excellent. I definitely feel confident I could make dandan noodles at home now. Lance was a great host, all the chilli cool staff were very nice and it was a fun and interesting afternoon which we all enjoyed (even the four year old). Thank you!JohanS543

We were here three years ago and forgot to leave a review. But this was one of the highlights of our visit to Chengdu!

The excursion to the local spice market in a small group was a great experience and cooking together was great fun. Our guide was very charming and had lots of interesting details for us. The "treasure hunt" on the spice maket was a great idea! :)

Memorable, fun and educational cooking class experience with Lance and a local master chef! The tour was split into 3 parts: purchasing ingredients and trying local delicacies from workers' market; cooking Dan Dan noodles; eating! We were given little missions as well in the market which was great! We were a small group and didn't feel rushed and experience lasted 4 hours altogether. We saw different types of spices, eggs, chicken, frogs, snakes, mushrooms and other assorted exotic vegetables! We tried mooncake as it was mid autumn festival the same day, plum wine, cold spring roll, even made dumplings that we were able to have as a side dish with our main dish. We had a rest at the cooking place before cooking the noodles and ate our treats. Lance interpreted for us while the chef instructed us and helped to take photos of us!!!! End result was tasty Dan Dan noodles, a completion certificate and some chopsticks!!!! You get the recipe sent to you too at the end. Thoroughly recommend this experience!!!!Thomas J

Excellent cooking class. Lance was a brilliant guide - very friendly and interesting. It was good to go to a market with a local so that he could answer any questions we had.
