We had so much fun at Ami’s kitchen!She really makes it feel like a family cooking time and her place is in an amazing location (right above local market). The recipes were easy to make but super delicious. We would definitely do this class again if we find ourselves back. We especially enjoyed the morning market tour and delicious breakfast snack we could have there.

Attended with my daughters aged 12 and 11. Simon's tour of the market to pick up ingredients was terrific. He's very knowledgeable and helpful and wants you to eat like a local. Amy's class was a highlight of our Malaysia trip. Fun and easy to follow (good communication) with constant attention. Also answered all our questions about other foods/drinks we had. She suggests alternatives for those ingredients you can't buy at home. Would suggest the only improvement would be to get a few recipe pages or a booklet to take home (as I've experienced elsewhere). Can't recommend this highly enough!! Enjoy.

It was amazing to finally learn how to cook my favourite dish, Char Keow Teow from buying the ingredients to eating (delicious). Amy was a great tutor and host. Thanks so much!

I booked the Nyonya cooking class as a solo traveller, but was pleased to see another guest had booked for the same time. Amy was an incredible host- so knowledgeable. We learnt lots about traditional cooking techniques. We made a starter, side dish, main meal and dessert plus fresh tea. The whole team were so welcoming, friendly and enthusiastic. It was a great way to spend an afternoon in Penang.
