Where can I learn HK/Guangdong cuisine?

[kit_kat]

Eager to learn cooking HK/Guangdong dishes. Please share if you know any classes out there. Thanks!!

try the english speaking members section of the YWCA? they have cooking classes and they also have some special cooking classes for helpers, but i don't think you would have to be a helper to attend those ones.... some of the dishes they learn look yummy!

Town gas cooking centre in Causeway Bay. They have lots of classes for all different cuisines.

Yeah I know the Towngas classes but they are pretty expensive. Will check out YWCA ones. But a lot of these classes are taught in English (by expats?) leading me to think whether the dishes are authentic. Are there Cantonese classes out there taught by ex-chef/ housewives/ ppl in the trade who are Hongkie?

 

[carang]

do you want the classes in english or chinese?

 

[kit_kat]

Cantonese...

 

[carang]

well, that will make things much different... i'm sure there are loads of places around... but as someone who doesn't speak/read/write enough cantonese to get through a class, i can't offer any suggestions. sorry

While I have no problems communicating in English, I still prefer the Cantonese ones as I thought it will be more authentic. But I don't see any of these being advertised. Maybe I have so check out some Chinese sites/ papers.

maybe you'd have more luck looking on a local website such as baby-kingdom? asking on an english expat website might not offer you the most return....
