5.00Helen was an exceptional and informative cooking teacher. It was a wonderful introduction to Singaporean food and having a detailed cultural story behind the origins of food was particularly interesting. Well done, professionally organised and seamless instructions made for a great morning. Thankyou again Helen and hope continued success.

5.00I had attended cooking class conducted by Helen, she is simply amazing. She is very knowledgeable , enthusiastic and friendly. It’s a wonderful experience of learning how to cook our heritage food (Laksa) from scratch. A group of us having so much fun and laughter during the cooking process. And it really feel like cooking at a playground. We also get to dine together , tasting our own cooking . My fellow cooking mates and myself truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Helen❤️

3.00I have to say that I was a bit dissappointed: there was too much talking and too little cooking, in three hours we could have prepared one more course.
