Highlight of my trip! - Fizah and Roman went above and beyond to make this a highlight of my time in Malaysia! After a laid back morning in the kitchen we talked all things food and Malaysia over the divine food we'd prepared. Upon learning of my love of tea, Fizah was very happy to show me how to prepare Malaysia's traditional Teh Tarik. Highly recommend this experience to any foodies out there 😋

Delicious - I had a wonderful evening with Fizah. It was a very hands on experience which I enjoyed as it will help me to remember the cooking steps when I duplicate this recipe at home. Everything was explained well and not rushed. I made Nasi Lemak and was a little concerned about the number of chillis that went into the sambal, but it was amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. I enjoyed pats from her lovely cats whilst missing my own at home, and would not hesitate to recommend a cooking class here.

A Family Cooking Experience - Fizah invites you into her home, which is very relaxing. I cooked with my 8 year old. Lots of choices of what to cook. We could’ve also added on a market trip. The whole experience is very personal and done with a lot of care. It’s not a big cooking school experience. You really get a feeling of what local family cooking is like. I highly recommend this experience.

Learning Malaysian Cooking - We've always wanted to learn how to make a traditional Malaysian dish (Curry Laksa) and Mango Sticky Rice, Fiza really helped to simplify and make the process easy. We had a lot of fun, and came away with a simple recipe to be able to make at home, laughter and good memories. Thank you!

Best Private Authentic Cooking Class in Kuala Lumpur - Fizah and Roman are a lovely couple! The cooking class is done in their lovely home with their 3 cats (Toby, Hobo and Milly) and son. Felt welcomed in their home to the point that we had forgotten that we even paid for the experience as we felt treated like a long time friend! We had made Nasi Lemak from Fizah's family recipe with the best ever Sambal you can ever taste. They are able to accommodate with other dietary requirements if informed in advance such as for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free! Everything is laid out for you and assisted in making the recipe and Fizah also sends out the recipe after the class in order to recreate it at your own home to share this lovely dish with friends and family. A wonderful experience that I could not recommend enough for small groups!

Learn about Malaysian cooking and experience the every day life of the KL locals - The cooking class enables you to not only learn the way to create delicious Malaysian dishes but also allows you to experience every day Malaysian life. Fizah welcomes you to her home and extends Malaysian hospitality. We spent our time together discussing all sorts of topics as we prepared our lunch. Fizah communicated with me before the class and proposed a list of several options for dishes and allowed me to choose the two I was most interested in. We also went to the market together before we started cooking and I had another glimpse into Malaysian life. Fizah is an excellent teacher and hostess and I really enjoyed our time together.

Wonderful Malaysia Cooking Class - We highly recommend this Malaysia cooking class. Fizah our host was warm and welcoming. She gave us many options to choose from. Generous amount of food was prepared. It was interesting to make the chili paste from fresh ingredients rather than the bottle!! Luckily, we also got to meet her husband too which made a very enjoyable afternoon. Also, I need to mention her kitchen was spotless! Highly recommend.
