Chinese Cooking Workshop Tuesday, 26 May 2009 13:34 Written by BEVERLY!

10 of us girls decided to organise a cooking night, held by the Chinese Cooking Workshop. It's a large industrial kitchen with bilingual chefs and assistants - basically catered for expats to get together and learn how to cook Chinese food. IT'S HELLA FUN!

Chef Huang was our star of the evening - a very very sweet guy that joked along with the rest of us. He handled 10 women wanting to marry him for his culinary skills very well ;) Man, the guy can cook! He makes it all look so easy, though we were struggling and looking so uncoordinated. It made me realise that Chinese cooking isn't so hard, but it's all in the preparation - which takes ages chop chop chopping stuff. Other than that, it's all actually quite straightforward.

We whipped up 10 courses (!!!!) and got to sample our hard work. The food was all, surprisingly, delicious! Impressive considering we were first-timers, but I chalk it up to Chef Huang's great instructions and patience.. especially since we were all drinking wine and laughing whilst trying to cook.

It was a fabulous evening with girl friends, and a great way to get together and have fun, whilst being productive. The only thing I would suggest to them would be to also serve free-flow cocktails through the night (at an extra flat-rate price), which will make it a lot more fun. And perhaps to have a CD player with some great music. But all in all, it was brilliant fun. Plus, it was only US$20 per person!!!! To learn and eat 10 courses!!!! CRAZINESS. I love China.

Couldn't recommend it more!
