Dive into the heart of the “Lion City.” Singaporean cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of Chinese, Malay, and Indian influences. In this hands-on session, you’ll master the balance of creamy coconut, pungent shrimp paste, and delicate aromatics that define the island’s world-famous hawker centers.
The Menu
The Main: Katong Laksa – A rich, coconut-based noodle soup. You’ll pound a fresh rempah (spice paste) from scratch and learn to balance dried shrimp and laksa leaves.
The Signature: Shortcut Hainanese Chicken Rice – Master the “holy trinity” of sauces (ginger, chili, and dark soy) and the secret to perfectly fragrant ginger-garlic rice.
The Side: Fresh Vegetable Popiah – Practice your knife skills with shredded jicama and carrots in these delicate, hand-rolled fresh spring rolls.
