Visit Batu Caves in a sari, paint Malaysian batik, taste Indian sweets and teh tarik, and travel with an English-speaking guide from Kuala Lumpur.
“We had an amazing trip! Sasi was very informative, sharing stories and history of each stop. He was funny, kind and a great tour guide! Would definitely recomend seeing the Batu caves through this tour!”
Cook Malaysian classics, tour a Kuala Lumpur wet market, and eat your own three-course meal in a small, hands-on LaZat class.
“This was great! I wanted to learn to cook Rendang. Usually the day we went is not the day for that menu but LaZat accommodated us. Excellent teacher, helper who also gave us insight into culture. We have been to other cooking schools: this was costlier, but was our very small group (3) and personal instruction.”

Cook five Malaysian dishes with Sara Khong, tour her edible garden, and share a family meal in a small Kuala Lumpur class.
“This was such an amazing experience! Sara is a fantastic host and teacher - she was easy to talk to and made all the dishes we were cooking very approachable. My husband and I had a great time and are excited to be able to cook our own Nasi Lemak at home now!”
Shop a Kuala Lumpur wet market, enjoy local breakfast, and cook a three-course Malaysian meal in a private home class.
“We can only recommend this tour! It's not just a cooking class, but also a cultural experience! We had a great time, learned a lot about authentic malaysian food and ingredients. The market visit really was unique and Patricia & Kingston are very welcoming and openhearted hosts. The recepies we cooked were very tasty and quite different from the the malaysian food we've had in restaurants. It was probably the best we've eaten in the three weeks we were in Malaysia. Also the recepies did not feature many exotic ingredients, that we couldn't buy in Switzerland. So we think we will have a good chance at replicating it at home.…”

Cook four Indian-Malaysian dishes at your own station in Kuala Lumpur, from pakora and chicken curry to Kesari and masala chai.
“Class was supposed to be a three-hour experience. It lasted less than two hours. Prepared only one simple dish, something traditionally eaten daily for any meal. We sautéed some onions and added some seasonings. The instructor prepared the side condiments in advance. Did not learn anything new. I was very disappointed in the experience.”
Tour Kuala Lumpur’s TTDI market, learn traditional Malaysian cooking, and enjoy a hands-on three-course lunch at LaZat Cooking.
