My son and I enjoyed meeting you at the Market. Your booth was so busy with customers. But wanted you to know that your recipe on the Wild Wild East Teriyaki BBQ sauce bottle is so easy. I made it at work Wednesday during lunch using a hot plate, leftover rotissiere chicken, sesame oil, and frozen veggies. Oh, you should have seen people coming out of their offices. I had my own taste table. Thanks, our office loves the sauce. Rebecca, Office Manager
You Saucy Thing Soy Ginger is so good. 
I literally drink it…in soup! It’s full of flavor, not saltiness.
Bill, Area Vice President
My kids will eat anything with your sauces!

From the dumplings workshop to planning the menu, training our dining staff and being the event host/emcee…it was everything we had hoped for! Thank you so much for traveling to us. Jessy, Director of Diversity and Kevin, Culinary Director (Maryland)
My family is normally very picky. I used the Sweet Chili Peach to make a natural version of Sweet & Sour Pork. They loved it…and asked for seconds! Patty, Parent/Customer

Came to your Dumplings class, made hotpot at home – Ni Hao Natalie, We had a GREAT time on the market tour with you – thanks so much! We returned to the supermarket on Sunday and enjoyed both Hot Pot (we ended up just using our electric fondue pot which worked gre
at) and Dim Sum – we spread it across numerous hours. Thanks so much for the recipes below – we’ll enjoy making some of them. Looking at when we can attend one of your next cooking classes, and I will keep spreading the word about your great work! Many thanks! Tracy, Asian International Supermarket Tour
When I took your dumpling making class I brought 3 friends with me, two of which were visiting from the Bahamas and one who was visiting from Lithuania – none of them had EVER taken a cooking class before, so it was great fun for all of us (and my Lithuanian friend was brilliant with making the dumplings – she knew how to handle and work those little pieces of dough, as where mine were pretty pathetic looking). It was fun too bringing my int’l guests to the Asian supermarket, as they had never seen anything like it before. I told the proprietor that I had been on the tour and how much I enjoyed them! Susie, Asian International Supermarket Tour

“Natalie hosted a curated Buford Highway Restaurant tour me and my clients. It was absolutely amazing! Great restaurants and Natalie’s knowledge of the area is priceless.”
“Natalie gave our incoming first year international students a fabulous tour of an Asian International Supermarket. She is chocked full of information about food, sustainability, healthy choices, and ensures that her tours are “Hands on” (arranges for tastings and samples:) and FUN! When my sister-in-law came into town, we visited CSB table at the Saturday morning Piedmont Park Farmer’s Market. We didn’t walk away empty handed…the “hottie” sauce is Fabulous!!! And a quick mention and kudos towards the annual Chinese New Year Dinner coordinated and hosted by Natalie and her Mom – simply divine! Many thanks Natalie and Margaret for your healthy and delicious contributions to our community!”
“Natalie and her mom are an amazing cooking team! You can see the love that they feel for each other and that they put into their cooking. The demonstration they did for the our Women’s Club was delightful. Everyone bought their sauces!”
“N
atalie Keng (The Chinese Southern Belle) is just amazing! She and her Mom, Margaret entertained and educated eighteen, eleven year old girls at a birthday party. The girls cooked several dishes and learned about the Chinese culture. They had a blast! A few of the girls have gone on to prepare the dishes for their own families. Nearly every week, one of the girls’ parents stops me to tell me what a great idea this party was. I would recommend Natalie to anyone looking for an outstanding party and/or fun, delicious educational program.”
“Such a fun cooking demo. We had about 50 women at a meeting. Everyone learned so much! We were engaged by Natalie and Margaret and enjoyed eating all the delicious food they prepared! Definitely recommend.”
“Natalie & Margaret Keng gave a Health Chinese Cooking Demonstration to our corporation for our Wellness Program. They were informative, entertaining and their food was delicious. We would have the
m again, everyone loved it!”
“Attended a hot pot cooking class in Natalie’s home. It was simply wonderful! The food was delicious and Natalie is the consummate hostess. She taught us all the nuances of preparing and serving the meal, a terrific party idea for friends. I highly recommend any chance you get to take a cooking class with the Chinese Southern Belle.”
“The hand
s on experience is GREAT! Natalie really gave our class a deep dive into history, culture and why certain meals are prepared a certain way. I highly suggest this cooking class for any and everybody! I can not wait until the next sushi class or spring rolls class!!”
“I am a big fan of taking Asian cooking classes and have taken many over the years. Natalie & Margaret’s classes are the best!”
“My daughter who is 9 joined me for the Natalie’s most recent dumpling class. The content was perfect and the amount of hands on cooking we had to do was also just enough. We really liked the hands on aspect. Loved having the napa salad along with the dumplings. Finishing with the Lychees was a very nice touch. I also appreciated the historical perspective of dumplings and for what occasions they are used for in China. Making the dumplings using store bought wraps and using home made dough was a nice comparison as well. We look forward to taking more classes Natalie.”
“All of the teachers loved The Chinese Southern Belle in-home cooking demo. Not only was the food delicious, but we all learned new cooking techniques, cutting methods and cultural information. So much fun!!!”
“We chose Chinese Southern Belle to help us with a team building project based on the recommendation of the AJC
food editor! They did not disappoint! The dumplings were delicious! They were passionate about their craft as well as making a fun night for our employees. Thanks Natalie and Mama!”
“Natalie was incredible. Everyone had a super fun time and we learned a lot. I would happy to be a reference!”
