Our Guests Attending Cooking Class
- Our Guest Cooking Chinese Dish
On June 18, 2013, a group of Australian guests including Mr. Scott, Ms. Julie, Mr. Raymond and Ms. Helen joined our private tour with the chance of learning to cook Chinese food in Xian. Sweet Corn Soup was an easy Chinese soup recipe selected by them as beginners. Without doubt it came out successfully and tasted flavorful. They also tried to cook Sweet and Sour Pork Fillet, which is more challengeable.
We were so proud of them when the delicious, color-flavor dish was served for lunch that day.
