Our Guests Attending Cooking Class
Our Guest and the Hostess in the Kitchen

Mr. Jose, Ms. Blanca and Mr. Rodrigo from Mexico
took part in our Chinese cooking class on October 5
2013 during their tour in Xian. They of course
learnt to make dumplings and try to cook Chinese
dishes, including the Cold Wheat Gluten. Our guide
worked as an interpreter because they were all
curious to know what the ingredient names are in
English. This made the experience more interactive
and some of them were interested to learn some
Chinese words about food.
Our Guests in a Chinese Family

On Sep. 17, 2012, Mr. Jere, Ms. Barbara, Mr. David
& Ms. Ms. Marilyn from USA stepped into a local
family in Xian, led by our tour guide. Rather than a
simple visit to see what a true Chinese ordinary
apartment is like, it was highlighted by a cooking
class by the warm-hearted hostess who taught
them to cook Steamed Perch, Cold Wheat Gluten &
Pan Fried Dumplings with great patience. They said
that the service provided by us was excellent and
beyond their expectations.
