We have a cute little human today! Parents gettin some private time enjoying Asian cooking while on travel 🌴👩🏻‍🍳🍽️🍲

A very Happy Chinese New Year from us to all our foodies around the world! Nostalgic way to end our celebration. 🍊🕰 Well worth a status.

The labor of love - Laksa. Mackerel Fish has to be peeled hand-to-hand to remove its bone from meat. Its the small detail in life, that gives life another dimension and teach us to be patient at all time. 🤗

What a busy week! So many lovebirds 🕊️ coming for a different perspective of travel by having hands-on experience cooking together, which redefine views on how travelling as a couple can strengthen romantic relationship. What's better? It's private!

With your lifetime partner, we believe it is through practice for a better understanding of each other, especially life chores like cooking which requires team work daily. ❤️🎉

A very busy November indeed! With lots of new exploration from guests on the lesser-known dish like Yong Tau Foo. 🤗

University pals rejoicing in Malaysia for an epic fun travel! Really impressed with their recreational cooking skills. I must say, Dutch people are really easy-going, friendly and humble in so many ways! 😄

Guess her Favorite? Its Hokkien Mee. Anna brought us new perspective as she is from Kazakhstan, a unique country smack in the middle of Asia & Europe. She is so talented, able to speak Chinese, English & Russian fluently. 🤔🤗

"Going to be back for more!" She said. Her boyfriend is a Baba Nyonya, therefore learning all his favorite dishes especially Jiu Hu Char & Tamarind Prawns to impress him & his family is so heartwarming!

The Michelin Guide is finally here!

Grab your popcorns, foodie. Going to be a food war happening soon. 🤣🎉

Enjoy a bonding session with your lovely partner! Wrapping for Ondeh-Ondeh is so much fun, while both of you work together as a team.

We had a wonderful evening with Daniel who has a great sense of humor & Raegan natural white hair was absolutely stunning.

Congratulations to the newly wed! 🥰 The couple came with their 2 best friends for a unforgettable cooking class where they pick to stop over while on their Malaysian wedding for a short getaway before going back home to Melbourne. This is their 2nd time cooking together in a team of four.

Its been such a long hiatus to their wedding plans 2 years ago due to the pandemic. What an experience to have an enjoyable time while on a wedding. They said nothing else but good food, and relaxing at the hotel after the hustle bustle, Haha!

A very meaningful week spent! Founders of Taberna Bacusº restaurant in Spain came to learn a full week of masterclass on Malaysian cuisine. Very happy to be able to spent time with Chef Pablo who has worked with Michelin star restaurants, very professional yet humble & passionate about fusion of Asian cuisine, and Ernesto who is such a heartwarming yet generous partner (in crime haha).

To end the experience with a cherry top, brought them to my favorite hawkers at night and they said it is the best meal they ever tried in Penang and Malaysia!

Look at that wide smile! That's the reason I love hosting cooking showdown in my kitchen. Dr Ravi is so generous, and even bought me a gift from Italy! He's been travelling all over the world.

Long hiatus from posting due to my wife Jacqueline contracted COVID-19, however she has already fully recovered. Thank you for the well wishing!

Happy to host Plantbased Dennis & Merek from the Netherlands! Such a humble gem chef influencer, yet so friendly. Made Vegan version of Laksa Lemak which I loved it so much. Checkout & follow Dennis over here at https://plantbaseddennis.nl/en/.

P/S: Malaysian food is so underrated with vegan options, come explore more selection with me! Rest assure that most dishes can be customize for vegans, book ahead!

Throwback to Jovi's & Prash private session! Made Char Koay Teow and the succulent Hainanese Poached Chicken Rice with its signature garlic chili. They both loved it so much. Luckily they booked early! Its their 2nd time vacation to Malaysia, fell in love and came back again, this time learning to make their favourite dishes.

What a hospitality treat! Nisha, Lana and Lucia was classmates back 20 years, Nisha was working remotely on her laptop and wanted her girls to have extra good time in Penang even without her.

Indeed both have an awesome time, not only learning about Nyonya cuisine, but instead of sightseeing, time is indeed well spent. Could not be happy enough they liked Inche Kabin, a Nyonya fried chicken that can be easily be a finger food on the table on any occasion!!

with 2 classes in a row. Kevin Rudnick from US, who is teaching English at Hội An, Vietnam came to Penang for a two weeks holiday where he decided to start his own Youtube channel to vlog about travel! We have Peanut Butter Creative Studio doing all the hardwork behind the scene.

PS: Can't wait for the video when it is posted!

What a day. Simon, who worked in the construction industry in Australia shared some insights with us about the inflation of steel prices. And yes, property prices has steadily increase in Malaysia too. And of course, they cooked some of the most signature dishes which Malaysia are known for! Some good times over meaningful conversation.

Very enthusiastic yet bomb couple from Cologne, Germany who pick Malaysia as their 1st destination spot for their "Trip Around the World"! Cerstin said it took them 7 years & 6 figures to save for this once in a lifetime experience. Enjoyed a great time flipping roti canai, exactly the real deal way - with air pockets sealed in their roti!

: "The best Gift for my Dad"

Being such a foodie himself (Stephen), an extraordinary food experience must be taken while your time in Penang! A great bonding session as Stephen worked in Singapore while his dad, a Canadian dermatologist in Texas. Both are away for so long, and finally a reunion but a meaningful one with cooking skills brought back. Made some beef satay & served alongside the most iconic Malaysian food - Nasi Lemak and of course (Rendang!)

Happy Father's day to me & all! Thomas learning to make his favorite Malaysian food aka Roti Canai! 😊 Let your little kid explore cooking with my close guidance on the how's and why's, it is a great family bonding session with your presence too. Such a great weekend I'm enjoying.

Pound with love! Kerisik, which is made from toasted coconut, adds a whole new flavor profile to Rendang, however it requires a little bit (maybe more, haha) hardwork. Depends on your menu, if time allows you will pound em' by yourself, so when we mean scratch, its really from the raw ingredients! 😊

Such a power duo who makes a lot of laughter in the kitchen, hopefully will be able to see them in UK soon.

Made Lor Bak (Five spiced Pork Rolls) in the kitchen! Our bespoke class allows picking of different dishes according to each person diet preference. The duo has distinctive taste, as Florian prefer seafood while Sonja prefer pork. Both happy now, hahaha!

day for a private class for their vacation before back to the UK! A random pick, but its a famous stir-fry noodle dish among Malaysian Chinese especially in KL.

The cheeky side of me 🤣 Victoria and Yong has two cute kids, and we spend time together chat and laughing over children. Both have a little getaway escape to Penang, away from their kids. Victoria has lived in Ipoh, so her favorite was of course Hor Fun! and being a father could not be more rewarding.
