Chef Ann is well-versed with the cuisine and her jovial personality makes the cooking class a very enjoyable one.

The cooking class takes place at Di Atas Sungei restaurant daily (except Friday) at 1.30pm. During the cooking class, you will usually be taught 2 recipes, featuring authentic Malay cuisine. We learnt how to make a beef rendang (Terengganu style) as well as a spicy prawn dish with coconut milk and lemon grass.
