Traditionele Sabah kookles en proef lokale smaken

A wonderful experience at Dedie’s traditional cooking class. It was a fantastic way to experience Sabah through its food and warm local hospitality. Dedie was welcoming and knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about traditional ingredients and getting hands-on in preparing the dishes. The best part was sitting down together to enjoy the meal we had prepared. Everything tasted fresh, authentic and delicious. I would recommend Dedie’s cooking class to anyone visiting Kota Kinabalu.

During our stay in Sabah, we had to bridge some time until our connecting flight. I asked Didie on short notice if anything was available. She replied super quickly and also made a vegetarian cooking class possible for us upon request. When we arrived at the D.Joy Shop, we were immediately welcomed warmly. Didie first introduced us to the products we would be working with, including some fruits and spices that we didn't even know yet. She professionally guided us through the individual steps of the recipe, and we were able to learn techniques that we hadn't known before. It was nice that the entire course took place outdoors. The cooking class was a lot of fun, we were able to learn a lot, and above all, the food tasted great at the end. Thank you very much for the experience.

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend!! Dedie was great, so friendly and explained everything, she told us about the culture of Malaysia, this wasn’t just a cooking class it was so much more. Also the food was great and was great to least about different food in their culture.

Our family had an amazing time at the traditional cooking class in Kota Kinabalu! It was our first cooking class experience and was such a fun and memorable activity for our family. A special thank you to Didie, who was an exceptional host and teacher. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and created such a warm, relaxed, and enjoyable atmosphere. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and she shared fascinating insights into Sabahan culture and the stories behind each dish, making the experience so much more meaningful. The class was hands-on, well-organized, and suitable for all ages. The ingredients were fresh, the recipes were authentic, and the food we prepared was absolutely delicious. It felt less like a class and more like being welcomed into a local family’s kitchen. If you’re looking for an authentic cultural experience in Kota Kinabalu, we can’t recommend this enough. Thank you, Didie, for your wonderful hospitality and for giving our family such a memorable experience!

Diddy the host is very friendly and helpful. You can learn to cook using many ingredients unique to Sabah, Malaysia. There are some ingredients that cannot be purchased in my country, but it was a fun experience because I learned local dishes that tourists can't eat easily. After the lesson, you can also get recipes, which is great.

Fabulous experience. Dedie was a great instructor. Allowed me to do all the prep and cooking. Food was glorious. Would certainly recommend.
