Cooking Class - Traditional Filipino Feast in San Francisco

Interested in doing something different, my three friends and I booked Chef Reina’s traditional Filipino feast and had a beautiful time. I think I can safely say that we all enjoyed ourselves and were thoroughly entertained. We would enthusiastically recommend this class to anyone who wants to experience Filipino food and cooking. All of the food was tasty and easy to make. We started out with spring rolls (we also had lumpia that was already cooked) before moving onto adobo and pancit, which are very traditional Filipino meals. We could season and prepare the meals as much as we wanted, which was great since some of us live life a little more spicy. Instead of having the pink fruit salad for dessert, Chef Reina treated us with halo halo, which tastes like summer. Everything was easy to make, taught well, and tasted amazing--which says a lot since I hate cooking. Chef Reina deserves a million stars for her fun, jokey personality as well as how she engaged with each and every one of us, making the experience stand out even more than it already did. She genuinely seemed to care about us, talked with us about our lives for a long time after the class was over, and basically just made us feel like we were old friends or family sharing a meal. We’ll be back for the Thursday karaoke nights and the food whenever we’re hungry for Filipino food :)

We had the best time and experience taking Chef Reina's Filipino cooking class. The food was amazing and we also got to try other Filipino dishes. We would definitely recommend taking her cooking class!

I highly recommend Chef Reina's Filipino cooking class! I took my girlfriend with me and we both loved every second of it. Chef Reina is very knowledgable about Filipino cuisine as well as the culture behind it and she was an incredibly sweet and welcoming host to us. All of the food was incredible and I can say for certain that she has got me hooked on Filipino food now! The lumpia, chicken adobo, and pancit were very delicious but what surprised me what how good the traditional Filipino fruit salad was. I literally went home and bought ingredients for it so I could make more of it! I'm looking forward to using the techniques I learned in her class so I can start making my own Filipino food at home. Overall it was a great experience, perfect idea for a date or even just getting a bunch of friends together to try it out!

I had such a great time at Chef Reina's Filipino class! Chef Reina is extremely knowledgeable in both the Filipino culture and cuisine. Her class was definitely a feast! The traditional chicken adobo was so delicious and the meat was so tender and flavorful. Don't be fooled by the pink Filipino fruit salad-- it's definitely a must have. It tastes like summer in a dessert, and who doesn't love that?
