Recorregut pel patrimoni cultural immaterial de la nostra pastisseria tradicional xinesa

El guia turístic, Jayden, té molts coneixements i és molt pacient a l'hora d'explicar la cultura, la història, l'art i l'ús tradicional de cada equipament de pastisseria i els mètodes de preparació. Una sessió d'aprenentatge i tast de pastisseria molt interessant.

La nostra visita a la pastisseria xinesa Heyladtour va ser encara més memorable amb en Jayden com a jove guia turístic. Malgrat la seva edat, en Jayden té un coneixement impressionant i va compartir informació fascinant sobre les tradicions xineses, la cultura i la història darrere de cada pastís. Des d'explicar el simbolisme de les delícies festives fins a l'artesania dels mètodes de cocció tradicionals, va fer que l'experiència fos educativa i agradable. No va ser només una visita a una botiga, sinó un viatge cultural guiat per algú amb una veritable passió pel patrimoni.

Jayden, our tour guide, was incredibly informative. My friends and I learned so much about the traditions behind the pastries. We truly enjoyed the experience and look forward to joining his tour again.

Enjoyed the Chinese pastry tour. Jayden the tour guide was very knowledgeable about Chinese culture and made the tour informative. Tasted and bought some snacks as well

Interesting and gain knowledge tour. Jayden is knowledgeable and he knows his work well. Do join this tour if you want to know more about this confectionary culture.

Guide was very knowledgeable and informative, tour not only consisted of how they make pastries but also about it's history and superstitions around them. We were also given numerous samples of freshly made snacks as the tour goes along. The 2 hour duration was also just nice and not overly lengthy. Overall would recommend to anyone interested in how and why our local traditional snacks came to be

Jayden is an expert on Chinese cultural practices and made the session very insightful and interesting. He could answer any question we threw at him! There was a good variety of items to sample and great value for the ticket price. It's also a rare chance to step into the kitchen of a traditional pastry shop.

Jayden is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the tour (and lots of snacks to try!)! We are glad to support heritage bakers like Gin Thye and whole heartily recommend this experience!

Thanks Jayden, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Enjoy the tour very much.

Guide was able to articulate the crux of the Chinese culture and its background, more than what was produced at Gin Thye. The Cantonese, Teochew, Hokkien culture was well displayed through the guide's explanation.
