Taipei: Cooking Class & Market Adventure Historic Dadaocheng

4.Taipei: Cooking Class & Market Adventure Historic Dadaocheng

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 17 reviews · 3 hours · from $99

Cook Taiwanese classics with Alex after exploring Dadaocheng’s market, tasting local foods, and learning family recipes in a six-person class.

“Alex was a great host. We started the activity with a brief city history tour. We tried a few things in the market and explored the various produce items common to the region. We then went to Alex’s class room where we prepared a meal with pork belly, daikon radish, mushrooms, and sticky rice. What I liked about the class was we did our own food prep. You make a nice sized portion of food, so be prepared to take some with you. The end result is a very flavorful dish to enjoy for lunch!”

Review of Taipei’s private 8-hour history tour, with the National Palace Museum, temples, memorials, pineapple cake making, and private transport.

“This was perfect for me. My tour guide Jeff was great. He was very knowledgeable and tailored our stops to my desires and limited mobility. I especially appreciated his knowledge when we visited the national museum, he took me to specific exhibits and provided great history about them. Much more informative than reading the plaque,”
