These dumplings, which only appear at national banquets, are absolutely nowhere to be found in outside restaurants. They are not only beautiful but also delicious and fun. Each dumpling has a unique name, and while learning to make them, you can also learn about Chinese culture. If you are a craft enthusiast, you must come and try this; it’s not just cooking, it’s art.

What to expect

Experience Introduction

I will teach everyone from kneading the dough, making the filling, rolling the wrappers, and then hand-in-hand guide you to pinch different styles of dumplings. Everyone will be engrossed, not only experiencing the exquisite craftsmanship of Chinese dim sum but also hearing the stories behind each dumpling. Friends interested in Chinese culture and language should definitely not miss this.

Venue Introduction

The venue is located on the bustling Huaihai Middle Road. Passing through an alley, my space is hidden at the end of the alley. It's a place where "great hermits live in the city," yet inside it's a spacious co-working area. Here, you can experience both the alley culture of old Shanghai and see the international and modern side of Shanghai.

Experience Flow

We'll start with self-introductions to break the ice, then begin kneading dough, mixing filling, rolling wrappers, learning how to pinch dumplings, and how to steam them. Afterwards, everyone will share the dumplings they made and take photos as souvenirs.

This is also a vegetarian-friendly and gluten-allergy-friendly experience.

Review for: Colorful Dumpling Cooking Experience 14:30

Cici is just amazing! She’s super caring and funny. Love her encouraging teaching style, she checks in on everyone and makes you feel totally comfortable. The whole 2.5‑hour session went by so fast. At the end we all got to sit down, eat our very own homemade dumplings and chat together. If you want something fun, genuine and hands‑on, don’t skip this one. Me and my friends had such a lovely afternoon and would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai.

Cici was a super host. As well as being extremely generous with her time, a knowledgeable and patient chef of delicious dumplings, she was a delightful person with whom to spend an afternoon. Our family really enjoyed spending time with her and we had some great conversations over our meal after the class. I highly recommend her class!
