Sichuan Cuisine Museum of Chengdu — Attraction in Chengdu

Amazingly friendly service and experience! Our personal guide and chef teacher, Molly, took me and my girlfriend on a nice little historical journey on Sichuan cooking, then we went to pray at the Kitchen God, before finally on to the main cooking event!

Molly and the assistant chefs (yes, there were 3-4 assistant chefs just waiting on us, despite being a group of 2), where we cooked kung pao chicken, ma po tofu, and panda dumpling desserts.

The cooking class was a lot of fun and educational. Expect to have your photos taken by a museum employee then emailed to you. We left with our stomachs full and smiles on our faces.
