Booked: Cook & Dine with Al | Mediterranean Food at Peranakan Shophouse

More than a private dining experience - an unforgettable evening in one of the most beautiful shophouses you will find in Singapore! Al and Natalie are attentive, warm hosts that entertain you with witty stories and details about the fresh, wholesome and delightful food but also give you enough privacy to enjoy the dynamic of your group.

We had such a super fun and yummy afternoon. The workshop is brilliant. The host Namita is so passionate and kept it interesting for the whole duration. Insightful experience including tasting and some hands on experience with chocolate and treats to take home. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
