A message from our Chef Bon:

“Hi my name is Bon and I grew up in Hong Kong, a city where the smell of steaming bamboo baskets and roasting meats fills every street corner and where eating well is a serious matter of pride.

Growing up, the highlight of every weekend was ‘Yum Cha’ (drinking Chinese tea with family); the whole family gathering around a round table, aunties arguing over the last dim sum, grandparents guiding the younger on how to pour tea properly and cousins sneaking extra eggs tarts before the meals was done. Those loud, joyful mornings in a Cantonese tea house are some of my most treasured memories and they are the reason I cook the way I do. To me, Yum Cha isn’t just a meal – it’s a ritual of gathering, of generosity, of saying ‘I love you’ through food.

In my class, I want to bring that experience to you. We’ll take the humble home-cooked dishes of Hong Kong and lift them to the standard of a proper Cantonese tea house. You’ll learn the technique behind dishes that look simple, but carry decades of tradition: how to fold a dumpling so the filling stays juicy, how to balance sweet, sour and umami the Cantonese way, and how to recreate that Yum Cha feeling – wherever you are in the world. I can’t wait to share this culinary experience with you! ”
