1. The teacher took us to have an Indian breakfast early in the morning, special cakes with spiced milk tea, and introduced us to the sauces that go with the cakes. 2. After breakfast, the teacher took us to the vegetable market. He also bought various local foods for us to eat. It was a full morning before the cooking class. He also introduced various local desserts and snacks in detail. Food, and also introduces various vegetables, fruits and sauces to us, and the teacher will keep buying and shopping all the way. He will feel very happy. While buying for us to eat, he also buys ingredients used in cooking, or We bought lotus root and jackfruit for our after-dinner fruit, as well as local pastries for our after-dinner dessert. We also saw super huge bananas. It was a very rich market trip. 3. After that, we went to the cooking class to learn how to cook. The class was held in a semi-outdoor area that looked like a courtyard or a small garden. The teacher in the courtyard planted various herbs or vegetables. The teacher introduced them to us. I feel very special and magical. 4. The teacher taught us step by step how to cook delicious tomato rice, how to fry fried chicken by ourselves, and how to make a very refreshing and delicious salad. The process was a very solid learning course. I felt the teacher’s love for cooking and followed it. Passionate about teaching cooking. 5. After the dishes were cooked, the teacher also prepared some food that was very local. You need to pack all the ingredients yourself and stuff it into your mouth. Although I have forgotten the name, it is really delicious. I am deeply impressed by it again. I can feel the teacher's attention to details. 6. The food we cooked, the staple salad and meat, tasted very harmonious, making it a very enjoyable lunch. 7. This was a great value-for-money gourmet trip, and it was also an in-depth local cooking feast. The food created a profound connection with the culture here. I am very grateful to the teacher.

The afternoon with Nazlina was great! In advance, she responded to our wishes about what we wanted to cook and made everything possible. We were at the market and she explained everything to us, which was great! She is an experienced cook and net conversation partner. The food was the best we had on our trip. Thanks for everything:)

Nazlina is a very seasoned chef and teacher for Malaysian cuisine, my friends and I had a great time cooking at her cozy house. We met in the morning for breakfast in an Indian restaurant, Nazlina then took us to wet market for shopping. She introduced local ingredients & bought snacks for us to try. The atmosphere of class was relaxed, we enjoyed the food we cooked for lunch afterwards! The overall experience is wonderful!

Nazlina was an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable and generous of her time and skills. She took my mother and I to a local cafe for thosai and then on to a food market to collect ingredients for our nasi lemak, char koay teow and salads that we made later in the day. She took her time to explain each step of the dishes and happily answered our many questions! The nasi lemak was our favourite, the rice was insanely good! She kindly sent us the recipes afterwards and advised us to see the nearby botanical garden as we were so close. We were finished by 1pm - a great morning spent experiencing how to make Malaysian cuisine. Highly recommend.

My partner and myself took a class with her. It was a very informative and fun experience. We had several tasty snacks going through the market. We loved her outside kitchen setup and the recipes. We cooked a vegan variant and it was no problem 🌿

This is a must do experience in Penang! This is not your ordinary cooking course. Nazlina introduced us to so many flavours and herbs as we strolled through the local market grocery shopping for the class. Nazlina made cooking such an enjoyable experience and taught us so much about the culture. Food was delicious and she was extra generous, offering us homemade dessert and other delicacies from her pantry. We really enjoyed it!

We loved our morning session with Nazlina. She met us at 8am and we began with an awesome breakfast, and then a walk through the market tasting a great variety of local snacks. We had full bellies and we had not even started cooking yet! Nazlina was a fabulous and funny host, with so much knowledge of Penang food and culture which she was happy to share. Back at her home after picking up the fresh produce, we were quickly chopping and dicing and following Nazlina’s lead. And an hour and a half later we sat down to lunch. The food we made was delicious. Thoroughly recommend!!!

We had such a great time cooking with Nazlina. The day started out with a breakfast and walking tour (with local snacks!) around town picking up ingredients and visiting the markets. My children (7 and 9) had such a great time visiting the food stalls and learning about Penang. Then came the cooking - it was such a wonderful and educational experience. Nazlina was very knowledgeable and hands on with teaching the cooking class. She also made it fun for my children to learn how to cook. I highly recommend signing up when you’re in Penang. You’ll learn a lot about the history, culture and food of Penang and best of all you’ll learn some new dishes!

Our whole family enjoyed this food experience greatly. Starting with a traditional Indian breakfast followed by the shopping tour at the local market, sampling as we went, and finishing at Nazs’ kitchen to cook a traditional Malay lunch. Nazs’ knowledge and insight on all things food and Malay were fantastic. Thank you.

We followed the morning market tour with a cooking workshop at Nazlina. It was a fantastic experience. We start with a delicious local breakfast after which we walked around the market together, bought ingredients for the cooking workshop, got explanations about local ingredients and products. Nazlina bought some snacks for us at the market which we could try on the spot. The workshop was very extensive, there was a lot of attention for everyone. We would not have missed it!
