The experience
The class runs four hours at Hadsan Cove Resort in Marigondon, Lapu Lapu City. You'll work through four savory dishes: Chicken and Pork Adobo (the braised staple marinated in vinegar, soy and garlic), Lumpia (the Filipino spring roll with Chinese roots adapted to local flavors), Pinakbet (mixed vegetables in coconut milk with your choice of shrimp, pork or chicken), and Fish in Vinegar Sauce, a Visayan version built on ginger, onions and shallots. The final dish is Fresh Halo Halo: tropical fruits mixed inside a coconut and topped with ice cream. A licensed English-speaking chef guides you through each one, showing you how to work with the fresh, locally sourced ingredients that define the cuisine.
You're not watching a demonstration. You cook each dish yourself, learning the techniques and flavor combinations that make these recipes work. The class wraps with lunch: you sit down and eat what you've prepared, tasting the results of your own hands. Bottled water and soda are provided throughout, and your resort entrance fee is covered in the booking.
Hadsan Cove Resort sits on the water in Marigondon, giving you a calm setting to focus on the work. The resort is wheelchair accessible, and children from age 3 are welcome. If you're traveling with an infant, they can sit on an adult's lap during the class.
Is this one for you?Book this class if you want hands-on cooking instruction where you learn the technique and then taste the result immediately, rather than a demonstration you watch from the side. Children from age 3 can join, and the four-hour length fits a morning or afternoon without consuming your whole day.
