Great cooking class! I...

Great cooking class! I felt very welcomed into the home and the whole experience was warm and friendly. The location was easy to find, and even as someone who is not much of a cook, the class was made simple, fun, and enjoyable. The food we made at the end was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend

Operator response

Hope to see you again sometime in future when you are in Kuala Lumpur again. I wish you all the best in Japan. Take care Fizah

Amazing Malay Cooking Experience

Amazing Experience! Fizah was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and it was an experience I would highly recommend to anyone interested in food, culture and trying something new. Fizah was extremely knowledgeable and explained every step of the process as we prepared our man meal and dessert. All the ingredients were fresh and the end result amazing for two first time Malay cooks. Definitely worth a try!

Operator response

Fun experience in KL

It was great fun and I learned a lot. Fizah is a great teacher and so knowledgeable. All meals cooked from scratch which I love. And super tasty. My only regret is that I’m not in Kuala Lumpur longer so that I can attend another class. Next time.,…..

Fun Cooking Class

This was the first thing I did in Kuala Lumpur - got to make and try Malaysian food for the first time and it was so much fun. There was only 3 of us so it was not crowded at all and made it even better because our host was able to guide us all. Would highly recommend!

Operator response

Hello dear, Thank you for the kind words. I really hope you going to be able to make it this . And easily get the ingredients you need in your home country . Take care, Have a good day

Wonderful experience

Fizah and her husband graciously welcomed us in to their home for this experience. It was very hands on and we learned about Malaysian food, traditions and culture. Fizah showed us how best to prepare each component of the curry laksa dish, answered all questions we had about how to obtain the ingredients back in the US, and even how to freeze the sauce to use for later. She also gave us the recipe for curry laksa and the dessert we made.

Operator response

Dear Linda & Humphrey! Was a pleasure having you both in my class. I really hope you could find the ingredients in the USA. That would be amazing Once again , thank you so much for the kind words. Hope to see you again in future Best regards, Fizah

Authentic home cooked food and a warm welcome

We had a lovely afternoon with Fiza where we learned to cook curry laksa as our main and kuih gula Melaka for pudding. Fiza made us feel really welcome in her home and taught us interesting things about the ingredients and the Malaysian food culture. She also shared some great recommendations of places to go during our stay. The food was delicious and she kindly sent over the recipes too after. Would really recommend this class to anyone wanting an authentic home cooking class experience and the chance to eat delicious home cooked food in KL.

Operator response

Hi, Thank you so much for such kind feedback, I really hope you both going to make it soon. What a pleasure have you both in my class. Hopefully to see you again … Safe travels guys.

Find another cooking class if you want to lear something

My 3 hour cooking class finished in less than 2 hours. We only prepared one dish. And even then the host had prepared the condiments ahead of time. I was HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED that we did not learn more and only cooked a simple one dish meal.

Operator response

Hi Donovan, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with the experience. To clarify, during the session we prepared one main Malaysian dish together as well as one traditional Malaysian dessert. Some ingredients and condiments are pre prepared in advance to ensure food safety and to allow us to focus more on cooking techniques, flavors, and hands-on experience within the scheduled time. The class is designed to be approximately 3 hours, but depending on the pace of participants and group size, it may sometimes finish slightly earlier. I truly value all feedback and will continue improving the experience to make sure future guests leave feeling satisfied and happy. Thank you again for joining the class.

It was a hands on experience which is what we were hoping for. While you dont have your own cooking station, you each have a station to cut and prepare and then the cooking part is shared. Sitting and eating together afterwards we learnt so much about Fizah and Malay culture and food . Fizah is a great teacher and host. The overall experience was totally worth it !

Operator response

Thank you so Much Anita for your warmth words. Truly appreciate it so much. I really enjoyed having you as a guest in house. At least not last, make it happen from what you have learn Thank you again Fizah
