5.00This was an extremely well organized cooking experience. The 2 women who showed us how to prepare the dishes (and the granny in the kitchen cleaning up) clearly love their job and were very gracious and helpful. I’m actually a public health physician and the hand washing and food prep were carefully done so I felt very safe eating the food. Great experience especially for couples or families working together to make food. Highly recommend.

Lots of fun cooking getting hands on with the ingredients and tasting our own creations. They were super helpful accomodating my vegan diet, absolutely no problem making necessary swaps. Felt very included and warmly welcomed. Can fully recommend! Special shout out to the lovely Selene to clean up after ourselves.

5.00Excellent cooking class. Good instructors, friendly, informative, plenty of tips and very well prepared. They covered some food culture and history before we started cooking. We were taught, hands on, three dishes, a desert, fried spring rolls and a Laksa where we made the laksa paste from scratch. We learnt a lot, produced some great tasting food and had a lot of fun. Thank you Hera and Helen.
