Hualien: Coffeeland Cooking Workshop - Cozinha de Experiência Culinária Indígena

这是一个很棒的工作坊，强烈推荐。我是上午场唯一的学员，所以很幸运能和Sofia一起进行一对一的市场导览，她带我参观并向我展示了我们将要烹饪的各种食材。我非常喜欢围绕美食、台湾原住民和花莲旅行建议的对话，同时我们制作了一系列美味的菜肴。Sofia还提供了一些自制的梅酒，也非常棒。一次很棒且值得的体验。

The cooking experience at "Galan Ke Kitchen" was what I was most looking forward to in Hualien! 🌿 There were four of us participating: my husband and I, and an American couple. It was a time to learn about traditional Amis cuisine and their culture's appreciation for nature. We saw only vegetables we'd never seen in Japan. Everything was delicious with simple seasonings. For vegetables we didn't recognize, they explained them with kanji. Even though we didn't understand English or Taiwanese, we had a wonderful time. I particularly loved the seasoning called Maqao (馬告), and even after returning to Japan, I use it in everything from curry and grilled fish to fried rice. Every time I smell its aroma, I remember Hualien. I hope to see the two of you again.

這堂課太棒了！他們是小班制，所以我們獨享了老師的指導。烹飪過程很有趣，不會太難，老師非常友善且樂於助人，分享了許多傳統知識。食物份量很多，特別是我們從未嘗試過的健康蔬菜。素食選項也很棒。我們還品嚐了當地的小米酒。如果您喜歡嘗試不同的食物並了解台灣原住民族群，我絕對推薦這項活動。民宿裡還有一些可愛的寵物。

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

It was the best! The class had a friendly atmosphere, and Sophia and Monica's care was thorough, allowing me to relax and enjoy myself. There were three participants: a lovely couple from Taipei and myself from Japan. We split into two groups for the market tour, and I had Sophia all to myself, with her guiding me in English. Sophia patiently answered all my questions, connected me with the market vendors, and at the end, she even hand-wrote the names of the ingredients we would use that day in Kanji in my notebook. When I mentioned I had never eaten water lily stems, which I saw at the market, she included them in the day's ingredients, and I was delighted to touch, cook, and eat them! (Note: The market is closed on Mondays!) We all wrapped rice in ginger lily leaves, marinated and grilled thick pork belly with freshly ground spices like Maqaw, and it was a fun, delicious, and happy time. Even if you're participating alone, don't worry and please give it a try! I'd love to join again in a different season. Thank you, Sophia and Monica.

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

Completing 5 dishes in a short amount of time really gave me a sense of accomplishment. I also learned about many unique ingredients, which was very interesting! The staff were chatty and friendly, and the food was special and delicious! Highly recommended 👍

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!

¡Esto fue fantástico! Mucho mejor que las clases de cocina típicas que se ofrecen, probando nuevos ingredientes y aprendiendo sobre la historia y la cultura detrás de ellos. ¡Muchas gracias a los anfitriones increíbles y, por supuesto, a la ayuda experta de Nugget y Noodle, los adorables caniches!

Debido a una cancelación de última hora de otro cliente, mi clase de cocina se convirtió en una sesión individual. La guía de la instructora fue muy fácil de entender y ella fue extremadamente amable, lo que hizo que fuera un momento muy gratificante. ¡Los platos terminados también estaban deliciosos! Fue una experiencia valiosa y la recomiendo encarecidamente.
