Delicious and Authentic Malaysian Experience - Taking the Malaysia cooking class with Fizah was an absolute highlight of our time in Kuala Lumpur! The session was well-organized, engaging, and full of flavor. We learned how to make two dishes: Curry Laksa and Kuih Gula Melaka. The Curry Laksa was incredibly rich and fragrant, with the perfect balance of spices and creamy coconut milk. It was fascinating to see how traditional ingredients like fresh herbs and homemade spice paste came together to create this iconic dish. The Kuih Gula Melaka was a delightful way to end the experience – sweet, chewy, and full of the deep caramel flavor of palm sugar. The process of making these little treats was real fun and a great insight into Malaysian desserts. Fizah was patient, knowledgeable, and shared lots of tips about Malaysian cooking techniques as well as the recipes, allowing us to prepare these delicious dishes for our family and friends back home. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to dive into the heart of Malaysian cuisine!

Great Experience - A wonderful afternoon learning from Fizah. We were invited to her home where we learned to cook a main course and a dessert based on a number of options. The dishes turned out delicious and Fizah is very knowledgeable and overall very fun to talk to. For anyone interested in malay cooking, i would highly recommend it:)

Amazing! - What a wonderful morning spent with Fizah! She is a wonderful person and talented chef. Her knowledge of Malay cooking is fantastic and you can tell she cooks with love. The dishes I prepared were full of fresh ingredients and oh so tasty. I can’t wait to make them at home. I highly recommend you join her in her kitchen.

If visiting KL, don't miss out on this great cooking experience. - If visiting KL, don't miss out on this great cooking experience. I done my research on different cooking classes in KL, and this was by far the best value for money and the most personal. I have done a few cooking classes in different parts of the world, but this one was the best. Fizah made us feel so welcome and her knowledge about traditional Malaysian cooking was fantastic. Our whole day start to finish felt so fun and effortless. It felt like a home stay, as well as a cooking class. Fizah and her Partner opened up their home to us and made us feel most welcome. We travelled from the bukit bintang area to her home by one simple train ride and a 10 min walk from there, but if you get a "Grab" (uber) it's also very cheap and convenient too. We started with Fizah Taking us for a local traditional Breakfast, which was so yummy. She explained all the flavours and ingredients as we ate. We then proceeded to the local markets, which was indoors thankfully, as it was rainy season. We went round the whole market learning all different and exciting ingredients used in Malaysia. After that we headed to Fizah where we were greeted by her adorable cats. The cooking class flowed so easy and effortlessly, that it almost felt like we were round a friends helping them cook, accept we were the ones learning all the tricks and skills and creating the dishes ourselves. I really did learn a lot about the dishes we created. We picked the couples course, and cooked the Curry Laksa for main, then the Kuih gula melaka for dessert. Both tasted phenomenal, we most definitely will be recreating those dishes when we return home, using the PDF recipes she sent us afterwards. Also as a added bonus, Fizah took some beautiful pics and vids of us cooking together. It's an experience and memory that will last a lifetime, and was most definitely our highlight of our trip to Malaysia. We can't recommend more. Thank you Fizah.

Brilliant experience. - What a fantastic experience. From the moment we booked Fizah was in touch checking what we wanted to cook. Once we arrived we were welcomed into her house and had a great couple of hours cooking and learning the Malaysian way - including all the tips passed down from her Mum. The food was so tasty when we sat down to eat. As good as anything we’ve had while staying in KL.
