Private Peranakan Cooking Class in a Studio Near Lavender MRT

Summary

This is a unique opportunity to visit a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Michelle hosts this experience in her cooking studio, which is located inside a bicycle tour shop. You will pass through bicycles before entering her well-lit, perfectly organized cooking studio space, colorfully decorated with pastel pots and a mural. During your 1.5-hour hands-on Singapore cooking class, Michelle will teach you how to make three Singaporean dishes from scratch. You can expect a hands-on experience with Michelle first demonstrating some of the steps before giving you a chance to try everything yourself. You will first start by making the dessert, nonya kueh dadar, a pandan flavored crepe with grated coconut. Next you will make the appetizer, ngoh hiang, dicing all the ingredients and mixing them with the minced meat, then wrapping the stuffing with a dried bean curd skin. Finally, Michelle will share with you her family recipe for nyonya laksa (a spicy seafood noodle dish cooked in coconut curry).
