5.00Really enjoyed the cooking class today! This was my first day in Singapore, it was a great intro to the culture and the food. Hera was a kind, patient and knowledgeable host/chef. She took pics of us while we cooked as well. As a solo traveler, this is so important. The we had an app, main and desert. We made them all. It was a good time and I learned a lot! Also, this company has a great mission!
Incredible!

5.00Absolutely incredible experience ✨ Jenn and Nur were super friendly and knowledgeable, they not only taught us how to cook typical local dishes, but also shared some history, traditions, and tips for our time in Singapore. The group size is just right to ensure a cozy atmosphere and the teaching is also very personalized as they check on you often, redirect you, explain why things should be done a certain way, etc. The selected menu and food portions are also perfect, we were actually even able to bring some dessert back to our hotel! ❤️ We had an amazing time at Food Playground and would 100% recommend!
Must book!
