Dim Sum Masterclass

Dim Sum Masterclass

Available for groups of 6 to 20 people. Enquire about availability here.

 

Join Chef Tu at Chai Wu Harrods for a dedicated class in rolling, folding, and pleating your own signature Chai Wu dim sum creations. Under his watchful eye, master five different traditional wrapping designs. Reconnect with a culinary art that spans over 2,500 years old.

 

The Cantonese term ‘dim sum’ means to ”touch the heart”. So, whether it is a company bonding event, or a thoughtful date idea, take a moment to connect, create, and share in this timeless tradition.

 

Each class begins with a short history of the traditions behind dim sum making. Then, our head chef will guide you towards the very first steps of the process.

 

Under the watchful guidance of our team, you will be making five types of dim sum from our Chai Wu dim sum platter. These include our most-loved range: duck and truffle, peashoot seafood, lobster topped with caviar, prawn with black truffle, vegetarian with goji berry, prawn siu mai with scallop and XO.

 

Chai Wu’s very own pastry dough and fillings will be ready-made and provided for you, alongside all the equipment you will need to make this delightful treat. Just bring yourself and your party!

 

At the end of your stay with us, guests are invited to stay for our afternoon tea dim sum experience.

 

To secure this exclusive experience, please get in touch, and we would be delighted to assist with your arrangements.

Wine-Tasting / pairing Masterclass

Chai Wu is proud to invite you to an indulgent wine tasting masterclass curated in collaboration with a master sommelier, who will present a bespoke selection of distinguished wines from wine-making regions all across Europe. This is the perfect opportunity for any wine-lover, giving you the space to breathe in the aroma of wine in our relaxing woody space.

 

Have a beautiful day of relaxed wine tasting guided by a master sommelier. Interactive, engaging and expertly led, each masterclass is designed to bolster your understanding of wine with clarity and confidence.

 

There will also be the opportunity to partake in wine-pairings. Each label is chosen to harmonise seamlessly with Chai Wu’s expert cuisine for a balanced and flavourful journey. You can expect a spectrum of choice between refined whites and expressive reds, and a wine list prepared exclusively for your party. Experience firsthand how flavour and texture transform when wine meets food.

 

This experience is ideal for luxury team-building experiences, private celebrations, or corporate entertaining. No matter the occasion, the Chai Wu event team are keen to collaborate on a fully customisable masterclass, tailored to your group’s preferences.

 

We recommend scheduling at least 2 hours for your wine-tasting experience, one month in advance to ensure the most luxurious experience.
