A MUST to book in Penang!

5.00This was my favorite excursion in Penang! Santi and her team are amazing chefs, super friendly and made the cooking class fun from start to finish 😊 I highly recommend the morning session as the tour of the market was very informative with our local guide and helped deepen my appreciation for the meal we were about to cook as we picked up several fresh ingridents that morning. As far as run of show, they have this down pat with transfers available to/from the cruise port or a local destination. Come hungry as you get a local lite breakfast in the morning, but the lunch meal you get will leave you happily full. I can't wait to make all of the wonderful Malayasian food at home 🥰
We had a lot of fun and...
