  • If you're tired of so-called "cooking courses" where the cook does 90% of the job and you just stir some pastes with your friends, you definitely should try Samuel! We went to the wet market early in the morning to buy EVERYTHING needed afresh - of course you learn so much about the local culture during the process. Afterwards Samuel took us to a very local and delicious breakfast. At Samuel's spacious kitchen, we did EVERYTHING ourselves (well... maybe 80%) while Samuel provided the menu and some hands-on help. The process is VERY interesting and eating your own food feels great! Btw DO book a private class if you can! Definitely worth the money. You can pick your own dishes. We got the chance to learn Chinese Hainan Chicken, white curry noodles and Portuguese roasted fish in one run.

  • Super Fun Cooking Workshop! We cook and enjoyed our delicious meal. The menu we could choose ourselves and was flexibly adjustable. The chef started his business not very long ago but this will probably be a success because it was really nice and professionally taught.

  • The class with Samuel was really good. The wet market already gave us a chance to experience the local lifestyle. We learned more about the different ingredients that we bought. Preparing the meals was not difficult at all and it’s interesting to learn about the preparation of the food!

  • It was not just a culinary session, but also a valuable experience that made me appreciate the Penang culture even more and the dedication it takes behind every dish that comes to the table. Thank you Samuel for the incredible experience!
