Incredible experience. Our chef, Irene was very kind, knowledgeable and spoke great English. She took her time to explain everything and share her (he)art! Local dishes were delightful. David, our market guide was super nice too and showed us all local supplies. We do highly recommend!! Alice, Sébastien and Léandre
Fun experience. I did the vegetarian class because it was the only day I had available. Even though I’m a meat eater the dishes we prepared were so good I’ll fix them when I get home. The ingredients and materials were very professional including the recipe booklet we received. Irene was a very good instructor.
I loved completing the local market tour with Doreen, she was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was so valuable to learn about the produce that I would be using in the cooking class. I am now able to apply what I have learnt from this tour to my home cooking. Doreen was able to answer all of my questions. The cooking class that took place after the market tour was great, Vivian was also knowledgable and helpful with breaking down the cooking skills step-by-step. I was given a cookbook with the recipes to take home, which I have since used for my friends!
A super fun way to learn about the food and culture of Malaysia. Doreen took us on a tour of the food market first and took us through ingredients and market stalls with much knowledge and easy chatter. Once we got into the cooking class, Saadiyah gave us lessons in food and Malay life with candour and joy. She’s a cooking legend and showed so much care to both the food and us. Super recommend this class as an opportunity to delve further into the culture of Kuala Lumpur.
Incredible experience, beautiful outdoor space, fantastic chefs. This was one of the highlights of our 3 week trip for sure. We made some great authentic sambal and rendang (big checkboxes on my list). Highly recommend
Saandiah Daub is an absolute gem of a teacher. Very thorough with her demonstrations, instructions and reasoning behind each step, while simultaneously being both patient and entertaining. Our attempts all turned out brilliantly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at a Saturday class at LaZat Cooking School. The market tour with Irene was so interesting particularly learning about the different spices and herbs essential for Malaysian cooking. The cooking class was loads of fun and Saadiah, our cooking teacher, was a patient, humorous and knowledgeable instructor. She happily passed on her knowledge of best techniques to prepare an authentic Malay meal and shared many cooking tips, stories and the culture behind Malaysian food and its traditions. Our group of eight (visiting from Australia) loved the whole experience and the Chicken Rendang Sambal and Nasi Lemak were delicious. We can’t wait to make the same dishes again back in Australia with the aid of the recipe book that was provided. Thanks for a great day!
We did 2 classes with Lazat - the plant based and the nasi lemak. Both were great fun and a fantastic experience overall. The whole operation including the market tour and the class itself is extremely well organised and we learnt so much not just about ingredients and cooking techniques but also about Malaysian culture in general. Would highly recommend booking classes with Lazat!!
Brilliant experience and by far the best thing we did in KL! The market tour was a great way to start. We got to learn a bit about Asian cooling ingredients and the local breakfast was delicious. The fresh herbs and spices were completely different to that which we get in the UK. For the class, our teacher Saadian was amazing! She was an amazing character and a brilliant teacher!
What a great day out, sadly I was the only one there which made it a wonderful private tour for me but the operators would do well with a group as well. Tour of the market showed me the authentic shopping and everyone was very welcoming. Then a private driver to the cooking school where I was well catered for and had a lovely day testing out recipes and chatting with the tutor. Highly recommend to others.
