Kiinalaisten perinteisten leivonnaistemme aineettoman kulttuuriperinnön kierros

Matkaopas Jayden on erittäin asiantunteva ja kärsivällinen selittäessään kulttuuria, historiaa, taiteita sekä kunkin leivonnaisvälineen ja valmistusmenetelmän perinteistä käyttöä. Erittäin mielenkiintoinen oppimis- ja leivonnaisten maistelusessio.

Vierailustamme Heyladtour Chinese Pastry Shop -leipomossa teki entistäkin ikimuistoisemman Jayden, nuori matkaoppaamme. Iästään huolimatta Jayden on vaikuttavan asiantunteva ja jakoi kiehtovia näkemyksiä kiinalaisista perinteistä, kulttuurista ja kunkin leivonnaisen historiasta. Juhlaherkkujen symboliikan selittämisestä perinteisten leivontamenetelmien taiteellisuuteen hän teki kokemuksesta sekä opettavaisen että nautinnollisen. Se ei ollut pelkkä kauppavierailu – se oli kulttuurimatka, jota ohjasi joku, jolla on todellinen intohimo perintöön.

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.
