Exclusively available to small, private groups, Alexandra will show you how to dine like a professional food critic at two award-winning restaurants.

First, you will enjoy both traditional and modern versions of Cantonese cuisine, while exploring the finer points of Chinese dining culture such as etiquette, the essential ingredient of texture in foods and how to order a balanced meal. Next, you will discover the latest trends in Chinese regional cuisine and learn how the future is evolving at a small gem off the beaten track.

Drawing on 15 years of culinary expertise, Alexandra will share her own personal journey with you as you also discover how the major waves of Chinese immigration to Richmond have transformed the city’s taste buds and culinary scene.

Please note that I am only taking bookings for private groups, with a minimum of 4 guests and maximum of 9. (Custom tours can accommodate larger groups and gift cards can be purchased in single quantities.)

 

So yes, please feel free to put together a group of friends, family and or clients to book your own Dine Like A Critic experience with me.

 

Eventually, I will offer tours that allow people to book as singles or couples and join with others. But as I’m sure you can appreciate, the current COVID landscape is not conducive to the shared, family style dining format of these experiences and the select restaurants we visit.

 

Thanks, Alex

Group size: 4 people min., 9 people, max. Tours held rain or shine.  Prices (plus GST and service fee) include all food, wine, beer and gratuities.
