Cook an authentic Taiwanese dish, explore Dadaocheng markets, and learn local food stories in a small English-friendly Taipei class.
“The cooking part of this tour was great. Didn't see the initial walking tour and 'photo shoots' as particularly necessary and the taking of group photos for social media marketing was a bit too intense for my taste.”
Explore Taipei’s origins, Longshan Temple, folk gods, fortune rituals, and Taiwanese traditions on a low-cost English walking tour.
“Leo's explanation was wonderful. He did it almost entirely as a volunteer, and his enthusiasm was evident. Thank you very much.”
Cook Taiwanese classics, sample Dadaocheng market foods, and explore Taipei with Alex in a hands-on three-hour small-group class.
“Alex was a great host. We started the activity with a brief city history tour. We tried a few things in the market and explored the various produce items common to the region. We then went to Alex’s class room where we prepared a meal with pork belly, daikon radish, mushrooms, and sticky rice. What I liked about the class was we did our own food prep. You make a nice sized portion of food, so be prepared to take some with you. The end result is a very flavorful dish to enjoy for lunch!”
Explore Tamsui’s port history with one low-cost ticket covering the museum, Fort San Domingo, Customs Officer’s Residence, and Huwei Fort.
“Easy and cheap combination of tickets. Tamsui is lovely and the historical places like fort San Domingo and the little white house are very interesting.”
