Lax cooking

They took my request and made curry laxa! It's easy to understand and you'll get the recipe after you're done, and it looks like you can make it in Japan!

Great family cooking experience

During a multi gen trip with my spouse, in laws and kids, we took this cooking class with Fizah. We prepared curry laksa (our choice out of 4 options given) as well as making Kuih Gula Melaka for dessert. This was a great activity to do together as a family; everyone was able to participate, even our elementary aged kids got in on chopping veggies and spices. It was a great way to learn more about the food culture. The food was delicious and I’m excited to try to recreate the meal when I return home. Would highly recommend this activity.

10/10 Cooking class

We had a lot of fun in the cooking class with Fizah. She tought us how to cook Nasi Lemak and Mango Sticky rice. The food was great and she sent us the recipe so we can cook it at home. We had a great time with Fizah and learned a lot about Malay culture in our visit. 10/10 would recommend!

Enjoyable Authentic & Immersive Experience

Lucky for me, I was treated to a private lesson (booked as a solo traveller) in Fizah’s home! She was so generous with her time, very well prepared and had a lovely, easy-going demeanour. Fizah’s pre-class communication on WhatsApp was excellent, giving (a range of) specific directions to her home and asking for dish preferences (so she could shop for fresh ingredients). The class was well paced, extremely hands on and loaded with tips, info & stories. I chose to make Kuey Teow Goreng & Kuih Ketayap, both awesome choices, and left with a very full belly (and a doggy bag). This class will suit anyone looking for a relaxed, authentic cooking experience based on flavours (not techniques). Go with an empty belly as the portions are very generous and you’ll want to savour every last bite :)

Hello Rachel, Thank you for your kind words. I do very much appreciate your review. I hope you going to make it from what you had learned during the class. Was a pleasure having you in the class. Thank you again, hope to see you again in future.. Fizah

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

Hello Kate, Thank you so much for the kind review and recommendation of my class. I really hope you will replicate what you have learned. And easier to find the ingredients. 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
