I love Malaysian food so I was incredibly excited to take a vegetarian cooking class in George Town on the island of Penang. Penang is famous for its fantastic food so I specifically wanted to do it here for its rich food history. This is everything that I learned and what you may expect from taking a Malaysian cooking class in Penang. If you’re interested in Southeast Asian vegetarian cooking, then I also have articles on classes in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. *This post may contain affiliate links* Choosing a Penang cooking class I went to the Nazlina Spice Station in…

Visiting the Haig Road Putu Piring Stall from the Netflix Singapore Street Food documentary
I’m a vegetarian so when I watched the Netflix Street Food documentaries, I was looking out for street stalls in Singapore that sold delicious food that I was able to eat, like putu piring! When I saw the Singapore episode on Netflix, featuring the story of Ms Aisha Hashim who returned from her life as a successful pastry chef in the US to work on her families putu piring stall, I knew I had to visit.

Taking a vegetarian cooking class in Battambang in Cambodia
One of the cheapest places in Southeast Asia to do a vegetarian cooking class is Cambodia and it only cost $10 to take one in Battambang. There are two restaurants next to each other that both do recommended cooking classes in Battambang and I chose Nary Kitchen which was great. The class was 3 hours long (starts in morning or afternoon) and it began with a trip to the market. I’m normally not that bothered about visiting the market, but it was interesting to see an authentic Cambodian market. While the market is fascinating, you will see eels and frogs…
Taking a Vietnamese vegetarian cooking class in Hanoi, Vietnam

That’s why I chose to do a vegetarian Vietnamese cooking class while in Hanoi and I wanted to share my experience with all you Asian food lovers out there! I decided to go with Apron Up, which is in the centre of Hanoi because it had good reviews and I can confirm that it was good (not an ad, I genuinely liked it). It cost $25 including the cookbook. The plan was to make five dishes which were…
What I learnt when I took an Indian cooking class in Goa
Everyone loves Indian food but not many people know how to cook it well. I put myself firmly in that category, in fact, I struggle to cook anything well as it’s not something that I’ve ever been taught. I’m as fascinated as the next person about the spices, flavours and the myriad of dishes that I feel obligated to work my way through before I leave India. The beauty of Goa is that it’s such a relaxed place that there is more time to do the things you wanted to do elsewhere, for me this meant cooking. I didn’t have…
