Malay Culinary Journey Cooking Class for the Adventurous Foodie

Highly recommend this cooking class. We learned so much about the food and culture of the Nyonya. We did the morning class with market tour. We got to meet lots of local vendors and tried some local food for breakfast. The food we cooked was incredible! Afterwards you get a long list of restaurants to try, so make sure to book this class for the first or second day of your stay in Penang in order to have time to try the recommendations.

My fiance booked us the cooking class with Madame Amy and it was the highlight of my trip! It was super interactive from the start and really informed us on the Penang market and ingredients going between vendors. Simoienz, Mok and Amy were so jovial throughout and engaged with us authentically and taught us so much. I loved the cooking as we got to learn so much about Nyonya cooking and the integration of ethic cooking styles. We cooked so many dishes that we basically left rolling out of class with some new recipes in tow! The session kept us involved and getting various tips and tricks - and even ending they were giving us all tips for the rest of our travels in Malaysia - all customised. Overall I highly recommend if you have time to do this activity as you won’t regret it.

Fantastic cooking class in George Town. We loved the Chowrasta market tour and local breakfast before cooking gorgeous food! Thank you so much Mr Mok, Amy and Simon. A truly special experience - we left with full tummies and warm hearts!

Lovely experience. Chowrasta Market is the heart of Georgetown's culinary heritage. Cooking is amazing. Santi has been very supportive and taught me how to make rendang, onde onde, and rice thag turns blue! A must for travelers who love food!

We had 2 teens and a 10 yr old who loved the experience - everyone had their sleeves rolled up and aprons on for a really wonderful time! Simoienz was so easy to coordinate with and was very flexible and accommodating. Our experience with Santi (instructor) and Danni (marketplace walk) were also top class. We kicked off with a walk through bustling market stalls and speaking with some of the stall owners (shout out to Spice Man, we need to get you to Canada!). Breakfast at the local Roti Canai place was delicious and was the perfect was to get us in the mood to cook! Menu was awesome and perfectly catered to our Halal requirements and nut allergies. All in all, a really cool thing to do as a family and a memorable experience!!
