This unique cooking class is held on an offshore island Pulau Ubin. It, is the only one being offered in Singapore, in a 100 year old kampong (village) house and we usually cook int he garden.
We take a bumboat to the offshore island and after some traditional breakfast, we go to the surrounding jungles to look at wild herbs. Herbs are harvested from the surrounding garden and then used in the cooking. After a cooking demonstration by the chef, participants start to cook in teams.
