The experience
The Dumpling Class
A hands-on, farm-to-table cooking class in Bong’s garden — from picking ingredients to the last happy bite.
More than a cooking class
Cook in a real family home, not a classroom
This isn’t a slick commercial kitchen. You’re a guest in Bong’s home and garden, cooking side by side with her and her family the way locals do. It’s relaxed, personal, and endlessly friendly — the kind of afternoon people remember long after the trip is over.
Everything starts in the garden. You’ll pick the herbs and vegetables yourself, mix and knead the dough by hand, learn to fold dumplings the traditional way, and cook them fresh. Then the best part: you sit down together and eat what you made, alongside a full farm-to-table spread.
