Always great to book a cooking class when traveling. Took a class here 7 years ago when visiting and came back this month while in Singapore.This company hires moms who cook from their cultural background and teach in a fun organized way. Learned a skill making crepes ( wrappers ) for our delicious appetizer dish. Made a yummy new dessert with ingredients new to me. Learned about other foods popular in Singapore. The instructors also helped direct me to other services I was looking for after the class. Wonderful cooking and learning experience!
Look no further it’s a gem of a cooking class !

Food playground more than measured up to my expectations. The staff were knowledgeable, experienced and shared historical significance of the dishes. Everything was extremely well presented, clean, and super well organised for effortless flow. It was relaxing, fun and enjoyable. Our dishes were excellent too! I’d hands down highly recommend this to anyone (of any skill level) up for learning how to prepare a few new bangers for their repertoire.
Fantastic cooking class

This was an absolutely delightful experience for my group of 15 high school students and 3 adults. The cooking class was so well prepared, the food we made was situated in historical and cultural context, and the food we made was delicious! I highly recommend this experience to any group big or small.
