Our Traditional Market Tour & Cooking Class is an immersive experience designed to give you a unique understanding and appreciation of Taiwanese cuisine. First, you’ll become familiar with both raw ingredients and culinary culture by observing how local chefs interact with food in a traditional market setting. Afterward, we'll head to the Cooking Class, where you'll learn step by step how to prepare a full, healthy and delicious three course Taiwanese meal. Finally, you’ll dine on the meal you’ve prepared yourself.

What you prepare (and eat) depends on the day you take the tour.
