Cours de cuisine à Penang : plongez dans la cuisine malaisienne avec PenangChiak

We really enjoyed the cooking class and would probably do it again if we came back to pregnant as I think they offer a variety of courses. It was good to learn about the nyonya culture and history. Overall a great experience

This Nyonya cooking class was a highlight of our trip to Penang. We took part as a family of five. The day began meeting Mr Mok who took us to a local market, where we were introduced to the fresh ingredients, herbs and spices that are at the heart of Nyonya cuisine. Was great to see the local traders and Mr Mok’s knowledge, experience and passion were second to none. We also had the chance to sample a traditional local breakfast at the market, which was a lovely addition and gave us an authentic taste of Penang before the cooking even began. Back at the cooking school, we were guided step by step through preparing a selection of traditional Nyonya dishes by Amy. The recipes were authentic, easy to follow and absolutely delicious. Sitting down together at the end to enjoy everything we had made was a lovely way to finish the experience. One thing worth noting is that the experience lasted around six hours in total, including the market visit, breakfast, the cooking class and lunch. This was longer than the description suggested, so it’s worth allowing plenty of time in your day. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that combined great food with local culture, and sharing it together as a family made it even more special. We came away with wonderful memories, new cooking skills and recipes we’ll definitely (try to) be making again at home. If you’re visiting Penang, I can’t recommend this class highly enough. Thank you to the team.

The cooking experience was excellent. Highly recommend and I have done lots of overseas classes. You learn lots more than the offer states. Walk through the markets and tastings can take longer than the advertised time. But if you are on a strict timetable let them know at the very beginning of the tour. Otherwise add an extra hour onto what they say. LeAnne New Zealand

Awesome morning tour. I recommend morning tour so you can see the day market and get the light breakfast. Awesome culture immersion.

We did the Nyonya cooking class. This was not just a culinary experience, it was a cultural immersion too. Amy and Mok were so generous with their personal stories as well as their cooking tips. It was a tightly controlled and carefully paced class. This is one of the best cooking classes I have ever done. I highly recommend it. One tip... don't eat beforehand!

My daughter and myself had such an amazing day doing this cooking class. Our day begun with Mr Mok who took us on a tour around the market. He was very informative about food and the culture of Nyonya and baba Peranakan Chinese. We had a delicious breakfast in the market then met Amy who taught us to cook delicious traditional foods. Mr Mok and Amy talked us through everything. The curry was the best curry and so were the spring rolls. Thank you for a memorable experience of Panang

I had a great time on this cooking class. The guides are very knowledgeable and care about the food they teach you how to cook. Mok, Amy and Simoienz had lots of information on the market and ingredients we cooked with. The class was run well and everything we cooked was delicious. I would recommend this class

This was a friendly informative class and market tour, featuring foods unique to Penang Nyonya culture!

Wonderful morning learning so much about Nyonya food and culture. Food was delicious and our guides were excellent.

Mok and his wife Amy put together an absolutely amazing experience. It was fast paced, rich information, delicious food and stories too! Would genuinely do again as they had so much knowledge and insight to share.
