A really good class - welcoming atmosphere but not overwhelming/or intense. The teacher guides you really well on how to create your bao buns. Couldn't have asked for more.

We had a great time and thought it would have been fun for all of the family( adults and children) We got to choose a couple of designs and probably could have designed our own …maybe next time! We were well looked after and although we didn’t need much help after being shown what to do, we could ask as many questions as we liked so we could try it at home. Would Make a fantastic Xmas gift. Thanks for looking after us!

This class was fabulous. May and the other lady (sorry I didn’t catch her name) were really attentive, but not hovering. We were taught but left to create our own creations and they tasted wonderful. We each left with boxes filled with yummy baos and will be passing along our recommendations as well as trying out the recipe at home. Thank you May!
