Penang Homecooking Class


Hands on experience revealed in our Penang Home cooking class

Penang HomeCookingClass Registration was started after many months of encouragement from friends, relatives and lastly Datuk Lim. Home cooking creates an opportunity to learn how to prepare authentic local cuisine from an experienced instructor with hands-on cooking experience.

There is no need to worry whether you can cook or not. There are three types of classes, the beginners, gourmet and series.

Usually I will demonstrate how to prepare the first dish, giving you an opportunity to blend it slowly.

And before I complete cooking the first dish, they student are ready to take over. So beginning the second dish is then followed without much worry. All worries are gone as we share some local tips and secrets, pitfalls to cooking.
