Cours de cuisine Malaysie

In every "new" country we travel to, we do a cooking course. Firstly, to get to know the cuisine and also to have a nice day with other people, who mostly come from different countries. Here we were given a very friendly welcome at the meeting point for a visit to the market and were able to get to know the different fruits, vegetables and spices on offer. We were also allowed to go to the market stall and watch exactly how coconut milk and coconut meat are processed - great :-) Vivian, our cooking teacher, was already waiting for us at the school with her team. After a small breakfast that had already been prepared, we learned about various exciting dishes and cooked ourselves, each at their own cooking station and were active the whole time. The other participants were also very communicative and nice - it was really fun and we had a very nice day. Many thanks and greetings from Hamburg, Katja and Bernd.

We thought we knew a bit of Malay food but this was completely new experience. Learned about Peranakan history, tradition, very gentle use of ingredients and cooking methods. Flavors were quite different and refreshing from what we know. Cannot wait to try it at home and will take this class again. Thank you!

Ms Saadiah explained us each ingredients and dishes of histories, nutrition and why she cooks certain ways which were really fascinating to us. It was the highlight of our trip and we will take the class again. Thank you Ms Saadiah!

Well prepared, well run class! Takes place in an outdoor, huge covered patio area, with natural breeze for cooling and out of the sun! We used traditional brass wok and excellent equiptment. Could adjust the spicy to fit my taste. The chef explained everything really well, and is very talented. She helped us get transport back to hotel at end of class too. Was glad to take this class on the last day of our vacation, before heading to the airport for the evening flight back to Europe!

Highly recommended, great and authentic cooking class at home; Ruth was very relaxed, communicative and generous. The lesson was well structured and informative! Thank you so much Ruth :)

Well organised with experienced instructor who went beyond the recipes and shared tips and tricks or as she calls it, the ‘magic’ to the dishes.

Highly recommend. Such a great experience and amazing food. It is such a beautiful setting too and we loved learning about the different spices.

I like going to cooking classes when I travel. Since my husband and I were in KL for a few days, we signed up foŕ this class. I asked the school if I could learn to cook rendang, my favourite dish, and my wish was granted! In the end, we had the beautiful rendang dish that was so delicious with a rich yet delicate flavour of spices after slow gentle cooking . Ana (the owner) also threw in extra lessons and showed us how to make fritters, nasi lemak and sambal. The class itself was well organIzed, and we were all having fun. Zeera, the instructor was so enthusiastic and a great teacher. There was a market tour prior, and we got to try roti canai with some gravy. I would definitely recommended taking this class.

I was there on Friday morning. The instructor was lovely. She explained in details on the cooking procedures and helped us around. The cooking venue was clean and tidy. The dishes were yummy. Would love to visit again if I go to KL again for the other menus!

Genuinely enjoyed the day. No experience is necessary everyone is at the same level. The teacher is very knowledgeable, passionate and very accommodating to guests. You will experience real malaysian cooking with a real malaysian family and home. Worth mentioning the author has several books and if you have the time are available in book shops in KL.

My boyfriend and I attended cooking lesson with Sara, and it was a truely memorable experience, which made this trip one of the best trip we’ve ever had. Upon arrival, We were greeted with breakfast, and were able to learn about breakfast culture in Malaysia. Than we were shown to the cute little garden were it was well kept and interesting to explore. Sara was very knowledgeable about the plants and was really interesting to learn how each of the herbs are cooked or taken as medicine. Also, since all the herbs are grown organically, she let us have a little taste of the each herb as well. It was really memorable to be able to learn about the herbs with their fresh scent and it’s strong vibrant taste. Once we started cooking the food, she was telling us little tips about the recipe, such as how to substitute some of the ingredients with items which you might have better access to. The whole experience of cooking with Sara was so fun and so much to learn! (Most importantly, the dish made from her recipe is amazingly good!) When we were dining together enjoy our meal cooked, she was giving us many recommendation in KL and was so helpful. The whole experience was like visiting your friends’ place and cooking together. I would love to come back again to KL to cook with Sara again!!!

We had a fantastic time cooking traditional Malay food. We had a food station each so cooked our own meal, rather than between 2, which was great as you are hands on the whole time. The meal at the end was delicious. Thank you.

Our time with Pei at the farm was unforgettable. She brought us around the garden and taught us about many local herbs and their medicinal qualities. We cooked our meal in an open kitchen and talked with Pei about her passion for farm to table practices. I highly recommend this to everyone!

I really enjoyed this experience. From the tour through the spice garden with our knowledgeable tour guide to the cooking lessons with our fantastically hilarious and highly knowledgeable chef, Jamie, everything was wonderful!!

This cooking class included a walk around the spice garden to see what the herbs and aromatics that were used in the recipes and how to identify them or grow them. The recipes were delicious and Jamie, the instructor was amazing. She is a former professional chef so knows her cooking but is also a wonderful, informative, witty teacher.
