Cooking Classes in Kota Kinabalu

Discover Sabah’s flavours in Kota Kinabalu! Fun, hands-on cooking classes with local chefs and market visits.

If you want to go beyond the restaurants and learn the soul of Sabahan cuisine, I highly recommend this cooking class with Auntie Winnie. It was a highlight of my trip!

The Atmosphere: The location was great and provided a wonderful setting for a hands-on culinary experience.

The Teacher: Auntie Winnie is a fantastic host and a very friendly chef. She shared her knowledge with a smile and made me feel welcome in her kitchen.

The Food: We prepared several authentic dishes that were packed with local flavors. It felt like a true "home-cooked" experience rather than a commercial tourist class.

Why 4 stars?
 The experience was wonderful and the food was delicious. A printed copy of the recipes and a bit more time for the explanation and on cooking (we prepared 5 dishes in less then 60 minutes) would be perfect. 

A big thank you to Auntie Winnie for being such a gracious teacher!

An amazing experience with traditional Sabah dishes. Dedie was lovely and explained the food and dishes so well. Lovely time, and perfect if you want to really experience Borneo and Sabah cuisine.

We thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. Deedi was a great teacher, and we had a lot of fun preparing 6 different dishes, and it was very interesting. We used some new and unusual ingredients. The resulting feast was delicious with a range and depth of flavours - the best food we have had in Borneo! We would recommend this class to anyone, from novice to experienced chef.

We had a wonderful cooking class under the experienced guiding of Auntie Winnie! We liked that the cooking class toke place in her own back garden in the middle of the jungle. Both auntie Winnie and Judith were very kind and helpful and we had a great time with them. We would definitely recommend this course for the delicious food, local experience and above all the kind people involved!
