“The dumpling making class was okay, but has room for improvement to reach its potential.
We specified dietary requirements when booking and then again when asked on the day. We made sure to keep the two seperate on our try with a clear division down the centre of our tray, however; when they cooked the dumplings we made they mixed our vegetarian and pork dumplings together and served them together.
It was a 40+ degree day and they did not offer water or ask us if we wanted to purchase any drinks, which would have made us feel more valued. Other participants in the group purchased drink packages when booking, but had to ask for their drinks as they were forgotten about.
The dumpling making itself was fun - we learnt 3 folding techniques and we made both vegetarian and pork dumplings. A little more engagement and feedback from the teacher with each individual would have been nice and a little more effort to make their atmosphere more inviting/class lime would go a long way.”
“We had a lot of fun! The young man who was teaching us was so helpful and informative. He explained everything so well. The chefs cooked them three ways to perfection. There was so much we took some home!”
“This dumpling making class was a great experience.
Our teacher explained each step really well and I got the hang of making the dumplings quite quickly.
We used two different types of fillings - one pork and the other mushroom - and we were shown several different ways of creating the dumplings.
Once we finished, they cooked our dumplings in 3 different ways and served them to us for lunch.
If you enjoy dumplings I highly recommend attending this class.”
“We had a very good time making dumplings. We’ve done 70 between three of us - and they cooked the dumplings for us in three delicious ways: deep fried, steamed and fried. Nice experience for Sunday afternoon. My daughter is looking for wonton pastry in supermarkets now in order to make her own at home. Thank you very much for this experience..!”
“Fabulous way to get four reluctant teens to participate in a festive activity with grandma. They were engaged and entertained- then stuffed themselves after. It’s not a particularly sophisticated cookery class but perfect for our tough crowd and we learnt new and to perfect basic wrapping techniques.”
“We do a lot of similar classes for our work parties. This one was okay. Around 20-30 minutes into the class we asked about our drinks package (we had paid a few hundred dollars extra for unlimited beer and wine throughout our class), to which the facilitator asked us to wait, as they were too busy to be taking drink orders from our group. They did rectify this within a few minutes. We also would have preferred if the dumplings made were made individually rather than the whole group collectively (more similar to other classes we have taken); as well as to have accompaniments offered to the meal, considering the price per head. Overall a good experience and a friendly facilitator, but we would not return.”
