Taipei

It's a pineapple cake that you just mix, put in a mold, and bake. However, even mixing it required a bit of skill, and I enjoyed figuring out how to make it look nice when putting it into the mold. I also enjoyed talking with people from the same country.

instructor:Vivian was knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke fluent English. She was an excellent teacher location: close to Dr Sun Yat Sen memorial & arts/culture activities nearby. it was a fun activity! we got to make soup dumplings, chicken soup noodles & bubble tea from scratch and got to eat it for lunch as well. Highly recommend this foodie activity for all ages. You receive a certificate of completion of the cooking class as well as the recipes and pics of your experience at the end.

Amazing!!! It was a very enriching experience, we learned how to make dumplings and we really enjoyed it! We were able to make both vegan and pork dumplings!!! We loved Diana, she was very understanding, helpful, and accommodating! Thank youuuu!!! experience: Awesome location: Great instructor: (L)

We booked the DIY experience and the instructor/s were all so friendly and accommodating. The experience is relaxing and not intimidating at all. They have space for you to hang your jacket and store your bag and they have water and warm tea to drink if you want. The instructor will check on you from time to time and will help you if you need it. The tools and wet ingredients are measured and prepared already and I only had to measure the dry ingredients. The instructions are easy to follow and the pineapple cake I made tasted fresh and different from the common and affordable ones that can be bought as souvenirs. Still tasted good even after 3 days! My partner did the pepper buns DIY and we sat together. They will also take a photo of you to print as a postcard with the ingredients listed at the back. Highly recommended! One of my favorite things to do in Taipei and will surely try this again when we get back.

It was always my dream to take a cooking class while traveling abroad, and I finally made it happen. I was so grateful that they didn't cancel the class, even though I was the only one who booked today. The instructor was incredibly kind and made the class very enjoyable. Even though my English isn't great, they explained everything clearly. The market and neighborhood tour, along with the history lessons, were also really interesting. When I mentioned I don't like meat soup, they immediately adjusted the recipe for me. They said they would accommodate such requests even if there were multiple participants, so I encourage picky eaters like me to give it a try. Also, while daikon greens are usually discarded, they created a pickle side dish on the spot when I mentioned we eat them in Korea. They even prepared ice today, which they don't normally do, because a Korean traveler booked and they anticipated I might ask for an iced Americano. How thoughtful! I highly recommend this to other Korean travelers. They also diligently took many photos and videos throughout the class. The space itself is also very beautiful.

It was an amazing and unique culinary lesson experience! That morning, Sofia had just purchased unique local ingredients fresh from Hualien. They were all things I had never seen before. She tested me on a few to see if I recognized them, and it turned out I couldn't name more than half of them... LOL. Sofia explained Taiwan's indigenous culture, introducing the relationship between indigenous food culture and Taiwanese history. The most interesting part was that the menu for that day's class was determined by the suitable ingredients available that morning, meaning the content and dishes for each class might be different! Sofia was also very talkative and friendly. I'm an extremely introverted person, but I did feel welcomed at her place. Besides indigenous culture and food, I also chatted with her a lot about her travels and her feelings about life experiences. From her story, I gained the courage to pursue my dream. I am very grateful to Sofia for the wonderful afternoon she thoughtfully gave me. I hope to visit Hualien next time and experience a different Jialan Ke Kitchen! =)

It was a very nice and pleasant experience. It's a sunny day, we went there with a tour bus which walked us to the store itself, then we got given the 4-colour lantern and provided with black calligraphy pen to write our wishes, each colour represent a different area of life, e.g. health and wealth etc. We wrote our lantern inside the shop before going outdoor. There are staff using our phones to taking photos and videos of us on the train track and gave us poses to take pictures of the different sides of the lantern.

It was so much fun and very therapeutic! When I went that day, the number of people on-site was well-controlled, so there was enough time and space to fully experience the perfume-making process. The entire video explanation was clear, and the staff were very nice and always ready to assist. I added extra capacity on-site that day, and overall, I felt it was a very worthwhile experience to create my own unique fragrance. I recommend thinking of a name for your perfume beforehand so you're not caught off guard or without ideas when you're there. The Zhongxiao Station location is easy to find, right behind Sogo. My only regret is that I was so happy after making the perfume that I forgot to take pictures!

🌟 Positive Experience Feedback * International Atmosphere: We noticed many foreign travelers came to experience it, indicating the brand's cross-border appeal. * Excellent Reservation System: Fortunately, we booked a time slot in advance, avoiding long waits in line. The process was smoothly arranged. * Clear and Easy-to-Understand Instruction: Although the instruction was primarily video-based, the explanations were very clear, allowing even beginners to quickly get started. * Diverse Fragrance Selection: The site offered a very rich selection of fragrances, catering to different preferences. 💡 Suggestions and Feedback (Areas for Improvement) 1. On-site Flow and Layout * Equipment and Waiting Mechanism: The store currently has 4 fragrance stations, each accommodating 2 people (or groups). If there are many people or late arrivals, customers have to wait for others to finish. We suggest the store plan for a smoother on-site flow or provide information about waiting lists to make the waiting process more comfortable. 2. Olfactory Experience Aid * Suggest providing coffee beans: Olfactory fatigue can easily occur during fragrance testing. Although staff suggested smelling the inside of the wrist to alleviate this, actively providing coffee beans for customers to smell would be more substantially helpful in restoring olfactory sensitivity. 3. Perceived Differences Between 10ml Plan and 30ml Upgrade * Packaging and Customization Details: * The 10ml plan purchased through the platform only provides a drawstring bag for the finished product, with no outer paper box. * The sticker on the bottle cannot be customized (requires self-handwriting). These refined services are only available with the 30ml upgrade plan. * Suggestion for the store: We understand that different price points have cost considerations, but if the packaging quality for the 10ml could be slightly improved (e.g., by providing a simple, generic small paper box, or more exquisitely printed handwritten stickers), it would give customers attending the experience class a greater sense of ceremony and commemorative value when they go home!
