What to expect

Get a broader taste of Peranakan dessert-making in this hour-long, hands-on class. Using prepped ingredients, you'll make Ondeh-Ondeh and Cendol, plus a second Kueh of your choice: silky Kueh Ketayap, a pandan crepe rolled with sweet coconut filling, or Ang Ku Kueh, the red "tortoise cake" traditionally offered at Peranakan celebrations for longevity and good fortune. Your host guides you step-by-step, explaining the cultural roots and symbolism behind each dish as you shape, fold, and steam. Along the way, pause for a fun photo moment at our 3D Malacca-themed art wall. Finish by sitting down together to savor everything you've made. You'll leave with a free RM20 store voucher and a limited-edition keychain (RM20 value) — a relaxed, flavorful deep-dive into Nyonya heritage cooking.
