What To Expect

Step into the vibrant world of Malaysian home cooking in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. At our cozy studio above a local bakery, you'll be warmly welcomed and guided through a hands-on culinary journey. Begin with a quick orientation, put on your apron, and explore the essential spices of Malaysian cuisine—how they’re used, their unique aromas, and how they bring each dish to life. Start by preparing your appetizer: pakora, a crispy and flavorful vegetable fritter. After savoring your creation, move on to the main course—chicken curry, paired with fragrant basmati rice and a refreshing cucumber pachdi. With your own cooking station, you’ll get step-by-step guidance to ensure a fun and relaxed experience, perfect for beginners and food lovers alike. Next, whip up a comforting Indian dessert called Kesari, before finishing the session with a warming cup of masala chai brewed from scratch. Wrap up the day with a photo session, receive a participation certificate, a thoughtful door gift, and a digital recipe booklet to take the flavors of Masala Medley home with you.

Excellent morning at Masala Medley. We are a family of four from the UK, not especially familiar with cooking Malaysian/Indian food. We had a lovely time! Was worried how the nine year old would cope, but the teacher was so patient with him. I was really pleased how easy to make the food was, and how tasty it is. The only problem was eating a three course meal before 12pm - we don’t have anywhere we can heat the leftovers up. I, I am proud to say, managed to eat everything in good time.
Amazing Experience

What an absolute explosion of flavors and fun! I just wrapped up the Masala Medley cooking class on Jalan Imbi, and it’s hands-down the highlight of my Kuala Lumpur adventure. Led by the incredibly passionate Renee, we dove into a hands-on whirlwind of Malaysian-Indian fusion—chopping fresh spices, mastering family-secret mixes, and whipping up four drool-worthy dishes in their sleek, newly renovated studio. The energy was electric, the tips were gold, and devouring our creations at the end? Pure bliss! If you’re craving authentic, immersive culinary magic, book this NOW—it’s not just a class, it’s a flavor fiesta that’ll spice up your soul. 5 stars, zero regrets! 🌶️🍛

BOOK THE CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!! I had such a great experience here. The class is so well thought out and personal. I loved everything I made. The instructor was so sweet and attentive and extremely detailed and helpful. I learned alot about spices and Indian cooking culture. They allowed me to bring my luggage as I was traveling to the airport right after which made this an even better experience. Im so glad I booked this. I even got a certificate at the end which is a great keepsake and reminder of this cooking class I took. This class is well curated and it just became the highlight of my time here in Kuala Lumpur. I WISH NOTHING BUT GROWTH AND SUCCESS OVER YOUR BUSINESS!!!
