Fun and delicious! - Learning to make classic Filipino snacks with Chyl was such a great way to spend an afternoon. She has a lovely set up in an open air shaded courtyard where we prepped and then cooked three items that were easy and delicious, learning about local ingredients and how to use them as well as the variations that different people might employ based on region. This seems like a good class for any age and level of cook. And Chyl’s and her support staff were so kind and helpful. I can’t wait to make these recipes again when I get back home!

Perfect cooking class experience while in Manila ❤️ - Chyl was such a great teacher, both me & my dad had a great time learning new recipes and cooking methods (and super nice we each got our own cooking station so you can cook to your personal tastes!). The class is outdoors but in a protected, very cute courtyard in front of her coffee shop & bakery - it’s a genius concept executed very smartly!! Hats off to Chyl for maximizing her new small business with this creative activity 🤩 One note: heavy snacks in the Philippines = full meal w leftovers in America LOL! Luckily they had to go boxes and utensils so we could enjoy the rest back at our hotel room that night!! Some of the best food I had while I was here, and truly an enjoyable time!! 12/10 recommend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Whipping up some Filipino classics! - Had a great time learning how to cook some Filipino classics by Chyl. We started with a refreshing drink as it was hot! Then proceeded our way through 3 dishes we can now replicate at home. Even went away with the recipes. Thanks Chyl 👩🏼‍🍳

Must do authentic Filipino food experience! - Thank you Chyl for your warm welcome and great teaching. I was born in the USA to Filipinos, so I ate as a Filipino but never learned how to cook even the Filipino basics. I only had to make top grades in school (IYKYK)! Now my mixed heritage daughters, American husband, and I have the memory of learning to cook together and these delicious easy to recreate at home recipes. I’m so glad I chose this outdoor cooking class (lumpia gulay, pancit bihon, and 3 types of turon) instead of a typical city food tour. The cooking class worked well following a morning visit to the Ayala Museum which was only an 8 minute walk away in a very safe neighborhood via a beautifully painted underground boulevard crossing!

Great experience - Chyl did an amazing job. Not only were her instructions easy to follow, she was very personable and shared a lot of interesting information about Filipino life. You won’t regret this experience. There will be plenty to eat so don’t eat before you go.

Best cooking class! - So far the best cooking class I have booked on my travels: here you can actually cook everything yourself from A to Z and it is extremely fun! Chyl is super nice and made this day very special! 👩🏻‍🍳✨ This cooking class was given to my friend for his birthday. When we reported about it, my friend was spontaneously surprised at the end of the cooking class even with a birthing serenade and a small cake with a candle! 🎂 So all around a great event with a super nice, very personal and relaxed atmosphere! Absolute highlight of our trip in Manila and especially highly recommended! 😊 Dear Chyl, thank you for this great day! XX
