5.00What a great way to spend a Sunday morning in KL. Made Nasi Lemal, Onde-Onde, Masala Chai and Teh Tarik. Rene our incredible instructor took us through each dish and made sure we had the right intensity of spice or sugar to match out personal preference. Thoroughly enjoyed the making, the eating and the drinks experience. Would recommend and come back for other courses.
Great activity for family

5.00This was a great experience and intro to Malaysian food. Our 13 and 15 year old kids were not excited to go but they really enjoyed it and were glad we did in the end. The facility is close to Bukit Bintang, air conditioned and very cute inside. The host was so patient and kind. Perfect way to spend our first day in KL and way to spend 2.5 hours in the middle of an hot day. Everyone in our family is still talking about it!
Super!

Authentic Malaysian Cooking in a Beautiful Setting

5.00We had a wonderful experience at this traditional Malaysian cooking class in Kuala Lumpur. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each step of the cooking process and sharing lots of interesting information about Malaysian food and culture. The setting was beautiful, very clean, and felt authentic, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. After the class, we were able to relax in their charming tea room and enjoy some traditional tea, which was a lovely touch. One of the best parts was that we received all of the recipes to take home, so we can recreate the dishes ourselves. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that was both fun and informative. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur who wants to learn more about traditional Malaysian cuisine.
A great taste of Malaysian Indian cooking

5.00An 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

5.00I 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
