A Taste of Singapore, One Class at a Time
You’ve eaten it, photographed it, and probably queued half an hour for it but have you ever cooked it yourself?
Now you can. Welcome to our Singaporean Cuisine Classes, where you’ll step into a professional kitchen studio and learn to recreate Singapore’s most iconic dishes the kind that make your heart (and stomach) sing.
Each session is hands-on, laughter-filled, and bursting with aromas you’ll never forget. Whether you’re a home cook, a curious foodie, or just looking for a fun day out, these classes are your gateway to mastering local favourites the joyful way.
Class 1: Singapore Zi Char Flavours (3 hours per session)
You know that comforting chaos of a zi char stall the clanging woks, the smoky aroma, the chef shouting “faster, faster”? Now imagine bringing that experience into a modern kitchen studio minus the heat and shouting.
In this Singapore Zi Char Flavours class, you’ll learn to whip up the ultimate comfort food lineup:
- Kung Pao Chicken – juicy, glossy, with just the right kick of spice.
- Sweet and Sour Pork – crispy outside, tender inside, with that perfect tangy sauce.
- Mapo Tofu – silky tofu coated in spicy, savoury goodness.
- Singapore Fried Rice – wok hei perfection you’ll dream about for days.
Your instructor part chef, part storyteller will guide you through every step, from handling the wok like a pro to mastering flavour balance. You’ll learn why “a bit more oyster sauce” is both science and art in zi char cooking.
At the end, you’ll plate your own creations, sit down with your classmates, and think, “Eh, this one taste like hawker standard already!”
Class 2: Crazy Rich Asian Flavours – Saturday Singapore Heritage Cooking Class (3 hours per session)
If you love a good story with your food, this class will sweep you off your feet think Crazy Rich Asians meets MasterChef Singapore.
You’ll dive into three Singaporean classics that define our heritage:
- Chicken Rice – the national dish every Singaporean swears by. You’ll learn how to poach chicken till it’s silky-smooth, prepare aromatic rice infused with pandan, and mix that addictive chilli-ginger sauce that makes it truly shine.
- Sambal Squid – bold, spicy, and impossible to stop eating. Learn how to control heat, texture, and flavour to create a perfect balance.
- Ondeh Ondeh – chewy pandan balls that burst with molten gula melaka when you bite in. Yes, you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.
The vibe? Fun, vibrant, and full of banter. Whether you’re cooking solo, with a friend, or as a couple’s activity, it feels like a private dinner party except you get bragging rights for making the food.
And when you finally sit down to taste your chicken rice masterpiece, you’ll swear you’ve never eaten it with so much pride.
Class 3: Nasi Lemak Class (3 hours per session)
Few dishes capture Singapore’s soul quite like nasi lemak. It’s comfort, nostalgia, and indulgence all wrapped in a banana leaf.
In this Nasi Lemak Class, you’ll learn to make every single component from scratch:
- Fragrant Coconut Rice with Pandan Leaves
- Crispy Fried Turmeric Chicken Wings
- Freshly Made Sambal that’s equal parts spicy and sweet
- Fried Anchovies, Peanuts, and Omelette the essential finishing touches
You’ll see how each element plays its part the sambal’s heat, the rice’s aroma, the crunch of the ikan bilis.
By the end of class, you’ll be eating your own nasi lemak platter, proud and a little amazed at how much you’ve created with your own hands.
Class 4: Crazy Rich Asian Flavours – Wednesday Singapore Heritage Cooking Class (3 hours per session)
If your love language is laksa, this class is calling your name.

- Chendol – a cooling dessert of coconut milk, pandan jelly, and palm sugar syrup, perfect for tropical weather.
This mid-week session is ideal for those craving a midlife flavour boost (or just an excuse to eat chendol without guilt).

It’s equal parts fun and skill-building, leaving you ready to impress anyone who visits your home for dinner.

By the time you ladle your soup and scoop the rice, you’ll feel like a home chef straight out of a Lunar New Year reunion dinner.
Class 6: Popular Singaporean Desserts (3 hours per session)

What Makes Our Singaporean Cuisine Classes Special
You’re not learning from a textbook you’re learning from chefs who grew up with these dishes, who’ve tasted them at hawker stalls, kopitiams, and home kitchens.
Every lesson blends storytelling and skill, so you understand why sambal needs that extra bit of sweetness, or how to get the rice just right for chicken rice.
Plus, our cooking classes are intentionally small. You’ll never be lost in a crowd. You’ll chop, stir, and plate under gentle, expert guidance like cooking with friends, except these friends are culinary masters.

No pressure, no perfectionism just food, laughter, and flavour.
Your Next Delicious Adventure Awaits
