Asian Delights Express Cooking Class

Learn how to make delicious Asian food from scratch in this express 2.5hr class



2 hours 15 mins Class size 1 to 14 guests    

  $97 (Afterpay available)

Discover a world of Asian food delights in this express 2.5hr cooking class at Vanilla Zulu in Brisbane!
Your cooking class begins with a heart-warming welcome, introduction and chat with your fellow budding chefs. Then pop on your apron, get into the kitchen and start cooking. You will work in small groups of about two on a table of four as your Chef guides you step by step.
In this class, you will learn the tricks and tips to making delightful Asian street food. Mild or spicy, it’s up to you as everything is made from scratch! This class is fun, informative and will teach you how to produce stunning authentic dishes that are steeped in tradition and flavour.
Your Express Asian Menu:
Available Dairy Free, Vegetarian and Vegan (this class is not available Gluten Free)
  • Fragrant Chicken Larb Gai
  • Prawn & Pork Wontons with Crispy Chilli Oil
  • Handmade Bao Buns with Sticky Chicken – make your bao bun from scratch!
Dietaries - only the 'available dietaries' listed with the Menu are catered for. We cannot cater to other dietaries for this class.
VZ Class format is a mixture of demonstration and group cooking practices. Instead of individual work stations, students will work in pairs and cook in groups of 4. And afterwards, enjoy a feast of the meals prepared. Demonstration aspects of classes ensure we cover enough content to make you into a fabulous chef.
The delicious menu is subject to the availability of ingredients but you will learn how to make your own bao buns from scratch and create super fun and quick Asian delights! Classes are interactive and hands-on, designed for those with a passion for cooking but are perhaps lacking the necessary skills or confidence to absolutely shine.
You also get to enjoy a feast of all the delicious food we prepare, so your class will be a delicious culinary adventure! Pair your meal with a drink from the fully licensed bar with gin cocktails.
Please note:
  • Dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options are available. Please let us know of any dietary requirements at checkout.
  • There are no refunds on bookings but we do a have a very generous rescheduling package.
  • The menu is based on available seasonal produce and is subject to change at the experience provider's discretion.
  • You will work and cook together as a team, and share workspace and the kitchen equipment with other participants. A group cooking session with partial group participation is the most effective and fun way to add to your cooking skills. To ensure the class finishes on time some elements of the dishes are demonstrated.
  • Groups of four or more guests will get their own private table.
Support Workers, Interpreters, Aids. Everyone must book and pay to enter. NDIS participants are highly recommended to bring Support Workers because of how the class runs (working in pairs etc). Please contact us to organise a discounted price for the Support Worker, Interpreter and Aids. Please be understanding, due to the layout of the class and safety & enjoyment of all guests, they must book in too.

  • 5/5 from Nicola Marsh, attended Feb 2022: We took the express Asian class as a family Christmas gift. The entry to Vanilla Zulu was tucked away around the back and underneath, but was a bright professional looking space. Chef Tong was entertaining and informative. Most items had been been prepared and measured before we came allowing us time to practice the techniques of samosa folding and bao bun rolling. We did cook for two dishes and mixed a dressing before assembling the three dishes to enjoy. The hardworking kitchen hands did all the cleaning up and there was lots of leftovers to take home too.
