You've no doubt come to Hong Kong to feast on the local cuisine. So wouldn't it be great while you're in Hong Kong to learn how to cook some Chinese food on your own? Fortunately, it's possible to enrol in a cooking class that will teach you the basics of this culinary art. Whether it's dim sum, fried rice or a succulent fish dish, there are cooks eager to impart their knowledge to you.
Chinese-style cooking is different from other types of food preparation. It uses different cooking implements such as a wok and food is cooked at a high heat. Chinese cooks like to use only the freshest produce possible when preparing a meal. This is particularly true when selecting vegetables and meat. Part of the art of this cuisine is the blending of tastes to produce a mouth-watering dish.
The cooking classes are conducted by an award-winning chef in a Chinese family-style centre. You will be brought to a fresh-food market to pick up some real fresh ingredients, at the same time exploring how the local housewives do their shopping and bargaining. During the 2 hours class you will learn how to make the dish-of-the-day together with the locals and with hopes that at the end of the class you can walk out with your own products. A Polaroid picture can tell your friends and family what a good cook you are.
