A great taste of Malaysian Indian cooking

An educational, fun activity. Renee's place is very well set up and the whole course was professionally run so that everything was ready for us at each stage. We cooked three things together, moving from the big chopping table to the cooking stations and finally into the tea room. The staff quietly and efficiently tidied up and prepped around us and the food and company were great. Would recommend. We will be trying out these recipies again when we get home. Thanks.
Great workshop and educational

Easy to find, with a sign on sidewalk. Renee was an excellent instructor and clearly described the spices and the dishes we made with them. Plenty of hands-on activity to prepare the food. We got the recipes to take home. Highly recommend!

I book this cooking class as it was in the city and easy to get to. With Two 16 year old boys, I was a bit worried they get bored, but they had a great time and totally enjoyed the classes. Looking for a fun activity to do with friends or family would recommend this cooking class
A highlight of our holiday

This is such a fantastic experience and a must for everyone visiting Malaysia! My friends and I have spent a few weeks in Malaysia and knowing how fantastic the food is, we wanted a memorable experience and to be able to take the dishes back with us. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by rene and her family who let us start early and then showed us how to make 3 superb dishes including nasi lamek and chai. Everything ran so smoothly, Renee was a fantastic teacher, helpful and patient and very knowledgeable. The set up is very pretty and it’s lovely seeing her mum in the background. We had plenty of time to do the activity and also to enjoy our food warm. We were presented with a certificate at the end and a gift purse which is a lovely touch. This was a lovely way to end our trip and highly recommend for all to give it a go!

An incredible morning cooking Nasi Lamek and learning the skills required for Onde Onde. Truly the best with kind staff and options for those who don’t love it spicy and those that do. Finished off with a dining experience where our group truly bonded. Course completed and we’ve got the certificates to prove it!!
What an incredible experience!

It was an amazing experience learning to cook Indian-Malay food from a very experienced teacher Renee. She taught my wife and I all about the spices and ingredients that would be used in the three dishes we were to cook. We were lucky enough that it was only my wife and I in attendance that day so we received a very personal experience we'll never forget.
Learn so much about spices and cooking
