But cooking and taste are very personal. More so in Penang as most of us got our own grandmother's age old kitchen tasted recipes. You know it is really hard to test each other food so I prefer to say, we share our unique authentic cooking rather then test them.

We attribute the success of our business to our care in nurturing our relationships with our clients. We customize each cooking class based on our clients' individual needs and vision. We want you to walk away from your class enthused about food and cooking. We want you to learn something new, and to say, "I can do this!"

Our Commitment to the Local Community

We are committed to support our local farmers and suppliers. Well, the reason is simple, we know where to get the freshest food or local fruits, we see them growing in the plantation, farms or kampong.

And for fish, I prefer to work with small fishes as they are less toxic so we know the fisherman where they fishes were caught. So cooking with us is very educational as we even take to fisherman village, vegetable or fruits farms to get the seasonal items.
