Private 3-Hour Dumpling Tasting Tour & Cooking Class in Shanghai

Meet your guide and small group for a walking tour of the former French Concession, a beloved tree-lined neighborhood, to find some of Shanghai's best dumplings. Stop by street stalls and casual local eateries to watch the experts cook the fresh dumplings that you get to try. Depending on what’s available, your eight samples may include typical guotie (pan-fried dumplings); jiaozi (northern-style dumplings); hun tun (wontons); and Shanghai's renowned xiaolongbao (steamed soup dumplings). Along the way, your guide talks about the differences in taste, texture and cooking techniques of China’s bite-size snacks. It's food for thought as you continue on a short walk to the venue where your 1-hour cooking class takes place. During your lesson, a local chef introduces you to har gow (shrimp dumpling), a Cantonese dim sum specialty. Following a demo, try your hand at making steamed potato wrappers stuffed with shrimp. Once the work is done, treat yourself the tasty har gow you made! After your tour is finished, you will take taxi or subway back to your hotel by your own.
