Hualien: Jialanke Kitchen - Alkuperäiskansojen ruoanlaittokokemuskeittiö

This is just a fantastic workshop and highly recommended. I was the only person for the morning session so I was lucky to have a one-on-one tour of the market with Sofia who took me around and showed me the various ingredients we would be cooking with. I really enjoyed the conversations around food, Indigenous peoples in Taiwan and travel recommendations around Hualien as we made a set of dishes which were delicious. Sofia also offered some homemade plum wine which was also great. A great and worthwhile experience.

Kokin kokemus "Jialan Ke Kitchenistä" oli se, mitä odotin eniten Hualienissa! 🌿 Osallistuimme siihen neljän hengen ryhmänä: minä ja mieheni sekä amerikkalainen pariskunta. Se oli aikaa, jolloin opimme Amis-heimon perinteisestä ruoanlaitosta sekä paikallisesta kulttuurista ja luonnon arvostuksesta. Kaikki vihannekset olivat sellaisia, joita en ollut koskaan nähnyt Japanissa. Kaikki oli herkullista yksinkertaisella maustamisella. Tuntemattomat vihannekset selitettiin kiinalaisilla merkeillä. Meillä oli hauskaa, vaikka emme osanneet englantia tai taiwanilaista. Erityisesti pidin Ma Gao -nimisestä mausteesta, ja olen käyttänyt sitä kaikkeen, kuten curryyn, paistettuun kalaan ja paistettuun riisiin, sen jälkeen kun palasin Japaniin. Joka kerta kun tunnen sen tuoksun, muistan Hualienin. Haluaisin tavata teidät kaksi uudelleen.

This class was so great! They run a small class so we had the instructor to ourselves. The cooking process was fun and not too challenging, and the instructor is very friendly and helpful, with lots of traditional information to share. There was a lot of food, particularly healthy vegetables that we had never tried before. The vegetarian option was excellent too. We also tried the local millet wine. I definitely recommend this activity if you enjoy trying different food and learning about the Indigenous groups of Taiwan. There are also some cute pets at the property.

our top experience in Hualien! don’t miss it I swear it will worth it! everything looks super clean, organized, aesthetic, the food is amazing, the host is super nice and her English is excellent. we had a lovely conversation about being native to Taiwan and we learned a lot about aboriginal culture. highly recommend! plus the cat and dogs are a big bonus if you like animals. seriously thank you it was great

最高でした！クラスはフレンドリーな雰囲気ですが、SophiaとMonicaのケアは隅々まで行き渡り、リラックスして楽しめました。台北からの素敵なペアと日本からの私と3人の参加者でしたので、市場巡りだけ2グループに別れて私はSophiaをひとりじめして英語のガイドでまわりました。Sophiaは色々な質問にも丁寧に答えてくれて、市場の方々とも繋いでくれて、最後にはクラスでその日使う食材の名前を私のノートに漢字で手書きしてくれました。市場で見かけた睡蓮の茎、まだ食べたこと無い〜と言ったらその日の食材に入れてくれて、実際に触って調理して食べられて嬉しかった！（市場は月曜日お休みなので注意！）みんなで月桃の葉でお米を包んだり、擦りたての馬告などのスパイスで分厚い三枚肉をマリネして焼いたり、楽しくて美味しくて幸せな時間でした。一人参加でも心配なくぜひトライしてくださいね♪ 違う季節にまた参加したいです。Sophia,Monica,ありがとうございました。

這次的花蓮獨旅 最開心與最棒的體驗是 參加原住民的料理活動 在過程中 會介紹一些我 沒有看過的野菜與特殊的食材 讓我大開眼界 心想 這可以做成一道菜 但是 在主廚的介紹 教導之下 我跟2位來自日本的旅人 烹飪出不同的原住民料理 渡過非常快樂的午餐時光 新鮮的食材 用最簡單的調味 烹調 就非常美味 吃食材原本的味道

短時間內完成5道菜，真的很有成就感。還認識了很多特殊食材，非常有趣！工作人員健談友善，餐點特別又美味！非常值得推薦👍

This cooking class was one of the highlights of my Taiwan east coast (Hualien-Taitung) trip! Overall, I enjoyed the experience but also it was such an eye opener, and I got to appreciate Taiwan more and its people! Monica and Sofia were also very accommodating, patient (especially when I absentmindedly threw the crushed garlic on the wooden trash bowl 😂), and passionate about indigenous culture. Three cups chicken was the first Taiwanese dish I learned to cook - thanks to this experience!

Tämä oli fantastista! Paljon parempi kuin tyypilliset kokkikurssit, uusien raaka-aineiden kokeilua ja niiden historian ja kulttuurin oppimista. Suuret kiitokset upeille isännille ja tietysti asiantuntevalle avulle Nuggetilta ja Noodlelta, suloisilta villakoirilta!

Due to a last-minute cancellation by another customer, my cooking class became a one-on-one session. The instructor's guidance was very easy to understand, and she was extremely friendly, making it a very fulfilling time. The finished dishes were also delicious! It was a valuable experience, and I highly recommend it
