It was a great cooking class with delicious dishes in an open air setting. I really enjoyed learning from Chyl, who did a wonderful job teaching me! I highly recommend this activity for anyone in Manila who wants to learn how to cook three signature snacks from the Philippines :)

Lovely way to get introduced to Filipino cuisine and culture. The host was a great storyteller which made this even more intimate. I recommend this activity to anyone traveling solo or with a friend. Food was yummy, of course!
