Over two unhurried hours, working with a mix of raw and prepped ingredients, you'll craft all three signature Kueh — Ondeh-Ondeh, Kueh Ketayap, and Ang Ku Kueh, plus a refreshing bowl of Cendol, from mixing dough to steaming.

Did you know Ang Ku Kueh's turtle shape symbolizes longevity in Chinese Peranakan culture, often gifted at birthdays and weddings? With more raw prep, you'll get real technique, kneading, filling, folding, and shaping under your host's guidance, alongside the stories behind each recipe.
