Bumbu Cooking Class

Reviewed By keelyM37

I have been to many cooking classes in Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand etc and this one was superb. I find it disappointing that some people like to write such negative comments. The recipes that we were given were ones that we can replicate at home and this is what I would want. Absolutely fantastic, loved it. Highly recommend

Indah House Kuching - Cafe, Art & Event Space. Homestay

I gave up my courier in social & policy work in United Nation Development Program (UNDP) after I decided to play a bigger role in life...being MOM! :) Indah Cafe was started in 2014, after the birth of my second child. With no experience in starting or operating a cafe but armed only with pure passion for art & cooking, this little Art Gallery Cafe was my '3rd child'. As the saying goes, the sweat & tears are history (kinda) & through the encouragement of our lovely & colourful visitors, we started our cooking class :) We start with a trip to the farmers market where you will learn the importance of some of the herbs & vegetables found. As a large community still lives in the interior where access to a clinic, let alone hospital, is a challenge, these naturally organic jungle produce plays a big role in its medicinal purpose. We will buy some of these & go back to Indah cafe where you will need to start preparing. You will learn to cook five dishes before eating what you prepare
