Cooking Class in Penang
We would make food from scratch, there is no secret, everything will be revealed!

Everyone is invited to sign up for the class. The class takes three to five hours and involves hands-on experience. We also cook outdoors.

You will learn to identify the spices used and get involved in the cooking process. The fees also include a wet market tour.

If you have been wondering the correct ways to make curry or how do you get that special color and taste for the rendang, here is the perfect class that you should take up.

We will have fun using the old methods for grinding spices.

We could extract fresh coconut milk manually ourselves to get that fresh creamy milk (if you are up to it). Learn the names of the spices, its smell, how to handle them and some obscure traditional tips that you may not find in any other cookbooks.

Enjoying the food al-fresco after cooking outdoors.

Learn how to fold nasi lemak using the banana leaves.

Discover how many types of ketupat you can make out of coconut leaves.
