Fabulous Fizah - Fizah was a wonderful host and teacher to our family of 4. Communication was excellent before and during the class and the food was next level delicious. It gave us all a wonderful insight into Malaysia cuisine and culture. Our kids have already checked we have the recipes to recreate the meal when we get home

Positive experience: A class worth taking - We had a great time making kuey teow goreng and kuih gula melaka. Fizah was very patient, meticulous and clear in her delivery of the cooking process and class. Her home - which is the cooking class venue - is also within walking distance from a nearby MRT station that has direct connectivity to the city centre. The host also made sure that we left with good memories of the activity by helping us to take photos and videos. Recipes were shared after the class too!

A Wonderful Time - We had a wonderful time with Fizah who was hospitable, warm & patient. Fizah taught us to cook such a tasty meal that we will attempt to replicate it with the recipe she provided once we get home. We’d recommend this experience to all keen foodies!

Malaysian Cooking Class - At my pace, the teacher carefully taught me Malaysian food. I made traditional nasirema and que. It's so delicious. I want to make it for my family when I return home.

Highly recommended cooking class - Fizah’s cooking class was amazing! Everything was so well prepared and she walked us through every step whilst we were cooking. We chose to make Nasi Lemak and Kuih Ketayap and they both came out so delicious and very filling. The class was very engaging and felt really comfortable and welcomed in her home. The communication was also great in the lead up to the class. We had a really nice time at the end whilst eating our meal and met Fizah’s husband and they both gave us lots of great travel tips!Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cooking class in KL!

Must-do Malaysian Activity - This was a wonderful few hours spent with Fizah. Fizah welcomed me into her beautiful home for an authentic experience. Fizah was organised for the class and very patient with all the questions I had. I learnt a lot of techniques that I can take and try back home. I loved that when we were doing certain steps, Fizah would tell me how her mum taught her to do certain things. The best part was really getting to know Fizah and her partner, Roman, as we shared what we had cooked. Fizah also gave me lots of great advice re how to spend time in Malaysia and I'll definitely be back to spend more time here. We spoke about Malaysian culture, too. All in all, it was a wonderful day that gave me lots of special memories. This really is the authentic, in-house cultural experience you must try while in Malaysia.

Enjoyed ourselves - Lunch menu as provided by organiser was Nasi Lemak - enjoyed making our own sambal, roasting some peanuts, stripping a few anchovies of their bones and making a dessert. It is an interesting environment being in someone else’s house and working your way around their work space. Introductions were lacking, I think it would have been nice to have had a formal intro at the start rather than referring to me by a wrong name throughout the session. Malaysia is hot at this time of the year and maybe that was the reason that the proposed laksa was changed for a more simple rice dish. We both had an OK time and enjoyed the change of scenery on our visit to KL.
