In the many years of teaching, many easy and understandable replies, tips and secrets were given to students. Secrets knowing the correct usage of lemongrass, garlic, fresh turmeric, galangal. The why, what, when, who and how to use the medicinal properties to the fullest is explain in the classes.



When to use onions or shallots and why. How to make your coconut creamy dishes remain creamy and not one oily surface, seeing all the oily floating. Many were amazed at the fresh herbs they have seen. The best part for me is when they told me these fresh herbs are available in their own country, only issues they never knew how to use them.

Don't believe me? Read from Tripadvisor. To be honest, teaching cooking takes up all my times as I also teach in Tropical Spice Garden cooking too. Research, food testing, preparing step by step recipes sheets is what I deem important for my students. So if they are happy and recommend me, I feel I am very privileged, delighted and see me now, grinning form left to right as far as my mouth could open.



Some wrote me a mail recently, simply words saying :You are highly recommended in Tripadvisor! Oooh I thought, what is that? I have been so busy teaching and sharing until I forgot the power of internet. Holly molly, it does have good uses. Do refer to Nyonya cooking class packages here.



Chinese/Nyonya Cooking Class in Penang



I thoroughly recommend Pearly Kee, a fabulous cook, as keen on detail as on taste and variety. Pearly's a huge personality and an excellent communicator, and I wanted to take her and her sous chef home with me to London. She teaches from home and at the spice garden. Do her course and you'll never be the same again!! I think you can find her as Pearly Homecooks at https://my-island-penang.com

Penang has been one of my favorite holiday getaway, in order to try something new, my friends and I decided to learn authentic Penang cooking. We manage to find Pearly's Homecooks, where she conducts the cooking classes at her house. This trip we learned some Nyonya dishes such as Wind Pork or Hong Bak, Stir Fry vegetable, curry Kapitan and some Indian dishes such as mutton rendang and chicken curry. What interest me the most was the fact that Pearly makes her own spices for the Indian cooking, therefore her cooking is successful every time. She even teaches us on how to stored in bulk, how to use fresh herbs and spice and most importantly we liked her style, it's clean and hygienic.

The next time when I visit Penang, I am definitely coming to Pearly's Homecooks again attempt other delicious and authentic Pearly's dishes. You can call her mobile at or register at her website my-island-penang.com. No joke, every kitchen must have a Pearly.
