Delicious memorable experience! - It was my very first time joining a cooking class while traveling, and it turned out to be such a fun experience. Thanks to the host’s flexibility with scheduling and the warm personality of the other participant, we were able to share our cooking, taste each other’s dishes, and enjoy a cheerful and adaptable lesson together. Although finding some of the ingredients back home might be a challenge, I was able to experience making two delicious noodle dishes using ingredients that are easily available in Malaysia. For a short one-night, two-day trip, it became a truly memorable experience. I would love to visit again someday. With heartfelt gratitude.

Great experience! - My dad and I did this cooking class when we were in KL. The communication from start to finish was great, we got clear instructions and because of that we knew what to expect. The house and kitchen was really nice and we felt very welcome. I would definitely recommend to book this!

Wow-Factor-Experience - Highly recommended! Why? It is an experience of being guided step by step and the accompanied traditional storytelling. But--trying the end product was perhaps the highlight. Have you tried multiple restaurants that serve Nasi Lemak--This is by far the best I've tasted. I cannot believe we actually made it and it taste so good!!! Again, highly recommend recommended!

A Fun, Authentic Malaysian Cooking Experience with Fizah! - We had an absolutely fantastic time at Malaysia Cooking Classes With Local run by Fizah in Kuala Lumpur. The class is set in a relaxed, casual environment and offers a truly personal touch, with small groups of up to four people—perfect for a more hands-on experience. We were given the option to choose from four traditional main dishes and four local desserts. On the day, we cooked Koew Teaw Goreng, a delicious stir-fried noodle dish, and for dessert, we made the beautiful Kuih Ketayap, a pandan-flavoured crepe filled with sweet coconut. Both dishes were fun to make and even better to eat! The class lasts around three hours, making it a great way to spend a part of your day in Malaysia, learning about local ingredients and cooking techniques. Fizah is warm, friendly, and an excellent teacher who makes the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. You can book through Viator at a very reasonable price—highly recommended for food lovers looking to explore Malaysian cuisine in an authentic and fun way!

A great experience - Fizah is great, a native Malay, and an authentic person. We had a great time, learned new things about cooking and learned a lot about the country and the people. The food was delicious. And we would do the cooking class again.

Cooking with Fiza - Fiza is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend. I was running a few minutes late and she was so kind when I arrived. The class itself was fun, interactive and very doable. Good for all levels. Fiza made the class so enjoyable and broke down the steps so that the meal came out perfect. A great addition to your trip!

Worth every minute - Lovely cooking class. We could choose what we are making beforehand. We did a lot of cooking ourselves and as we waited for things to cook we could have a great chat. Really recommended.
