Reviews
The Maxim's Dim Sum Class is so much fun, I highly recommend it! This is my second time attending. Today, we made a dim sum that's not commonly found everywhere anymore: vegetarian shark fin dumplings. They were incredibly delicious! The whole process was very enjoyable, and the chef taught every detail with great care. We also learned to make mini egg tarts, which were absolutely amazing – you can't find ones this good anywhere else. And there were coconut tarts too! I highly recommend everyone to join. A special thank you to Master Kwan, a truly dedicated, witty, and humorous master chef who meticulously taught us every detail.
Their admin did not confirm my class, until last 1.5 hour prior to class starting. This is a newly setup Dim Sum Academy within Maxim’s Palace Restaurant. We attended the class with locals speaking in Cantonese. Not an issue for me as I can converse in simple Cantonese. They are generous to assign 2 chefs and 1 assistant. Chef Kwan is patient, Chef Wu is quick-witted; and their assistant, Summer is attentive who acts as a bridge in facilitating the session. While 1 chef is demonstrating, the other chef is busy preparing for other treats. We were well-fed, on top of tasting our completed items. Do check out their schedule table to book for your preferred dimsum items. Being the only parent-child pair made us stood out a little, as more attention was given to my child. Both chefs interact well with my girl, making her the little helper. Summer went the extra mile to have the chef to teach my girl an easier and cuter version of siau mai. Overall, this is a great experience!
Booking the Maxim's dim sum making class was incredibly convenient. On the day of the class, two Maxim's masters taught us how to make soup dumplings, smiling sesame balls, and fried wontons. It was so much fun and a truly enjoyable experience! The instructors provided detailed guidance, and we even received a thoughtful recipe booklet with instructions in both Chinese and English, making it suitable for people of different nationalities. After completing the class, tasting the dim sum we made ourselves was absolutely delicious. The two hours flew by so quickly! I will definitely participate in other classes again. I highly recommend it to everyone! 😊👍
Great! Both dim sum chefs were friendly and taught with passion. The assistant was also very kind and helpful. Equipment: The kitchenware was beautiful. Location: Very convenient, located at Moko in Mong Kok. Experience: Interesting, I would consider inviting friends to come again and make other dim sum.
The session exceeded my expectations. I had expected that the classes were an afterthought but my experience was that of a company serious about sharing the art of dim sum making to her guests. the instructors were very experienced award winning chefs, held in a purpose built cooking studio within the restaurant. The recipe for the dough was so good that even with my amateurish effort tasted amazing. important cheffy tips on how to “mix” the dough to produce “sou” ie no gluten, using chopsticks to prop the turtles neck during baking, making centre of gravity on chicken stable , decorating your bake etc, seasoning and method use to prepare excellent texture on wonton filling. And the pleasant surprise, we get to keep our aprons, they fed us! They were churning out a few other dim sum. while waiting for our bake, we learnt our mini skills not listed on the lesson (rolling sesame paste roll). Highly recommend this experience
Had a wonderful time at the cooking class with my kid! The venue was exceptionally clean, tidy, and had a great vibe. The teacher was awesome, highly experienced, and patiently answered all of our questions. To top it off, we successfully made delicious ginger milk pudding and coconut tarts! We truly enjoyed our time and highly recommend it.
Today was so much fun! The two instructors were dedicated, humorous, and the food was delicious. The kids had a great time. It's definitely worth visiting again!
we had the best time learning traditional techniques on dim sum making! the chefs were super welcoming and funny to talk to, we had the most enjoyable time trying out the food too. would 100% reccoment everyone to have a go !
The early bird special was a great deal! I originally thought we'd only make two kinds of dim sum, but the chef kept making different ones for us to try. Chef Kwong, in particular, really loves kids, and everyone had a wonderful time.
It was so much fun, with activities and food! Both instructors were very dedicated to teaching, and the atmosphere was excellent. They also prepared many small snacks for us, and we even received certificates. Highly recommended! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
