Hands On Cooking Class - loads of fun! - Annie’s enthusiasm for her culture and cooking was infectious. She provided us with a great overview of the different food offerings we could expect to find when eating out in Singapore before guiding our small group in the hands-on cooking lesson. During the next few hours, we enjoyed learning how to cook our lunch, which was Prawn Sambal, Fragrant Nasi Lemak and Kueh Dadar. Annie provided a lot of tips along the way and made the morning very enjoyable. Thanks also to all the helpers in the background who had prepped items for us and cleaned up our mess along the way. We highly recommend this cooking experience, it’s a great way to spend a few hours.

My favorite adventure in Singapore - Absolutely top notch and located in a great shopping district. They made sure everyone touched a spatula and the class was good for all age levels and skill levels. I took it alone but it was fine, a quick icebreaker and we were off to the races. I loved the experience.

Foodie Cooking Heaven in Singapore! - We had the best experience learning how to cook curry chicken, Roti Jala, and steamed tapioca cake at the Food Playground! Ann and Sara were fantastic instructors who made the class fun and informative - we not only learned how to cook the planned recipes, but we learned a lot about the rich cultural and food history of Singapore. If I get the chance to return to Singapore, I will definitely sign up for another class - and I will recommend it to all of my friends!
