Join a private cooking class on Penang Island led by Chef Samuel, a hospitality professional with 15 years of experience. This chef, awarded at the 2023 Malaysia Culinary World Cup for his Laksa and Char Koay Teow, will share the secrets and techniques of regional Malaysian gastronomy. The experience begins with a visit to Penang's second oldest wet market, a bustling location that preserves the traditional way of life. Depending on the option chosen, you will enjoy an authentic breakfast in a local Kopitiam or lunch at a Hawker Center. The activity continues with a personalised culinary workshop where you design your own menu without restrictions. You will leave with your personalised recipes to recreate these flavours at home.
