Food Playground is the best - Our family has enjoyed the Food Playground cooking class many times on our visits to Singapore. Our class today was no exception. Excellent presentation from Sara, who was very personable and patient, especially with my attempts to build the pandang leaf boxes. I can fully recommend this class to anyone visiting Singapore and looking to do something different. And a special mention to Aunty Joanne, for all her behind the scenes work. I am sure she fixed up my Peranakan Hoon Kueh and made it look presentable. We will be back.

Brilliant Sunday Morning in China town cooking authentic dishes. Give it a go. - Wow what an amazing Sunday morning spent here ! Cooking with the brilliant Sara & Aunty Jo, who were brilliant hosts.
Great way to spend a few hours cooking Spring Rolls, Laksa & a sweet dessert in a Pandan leaf wrap - which we had to make, deep in the heart of China town.
Great group of 8 people, all fun and from different countries made the laughs & experience so much fun ! Would highly recommend, such a great initiative, by the originators/founders.
Please give it a try 🙏
