My team and I thoroughly enjoyed our end of year team-building activity and holiday dinner at Med@59JCT. The Peranakan shophouse was gorgeous, serving as the right ambiance for the activity. Al, our host, was a gracious teacher. He patiently took us through the steps to cook a five course Moroccan dinner from Matbutcha (Dip), Briouates (Cheese Samosas), Kohbz (Bread Loaf), Chicken Tajine and Orange and Cinnamon Salad. The dinner was scrumptious and our team had a lot of relaxed fun - perfect for the end of the year. Grateful to Seek Sophie for the complimentary Moroccan Iced Tea and wine as well. We shall definitely return!

Booked: Mediterranean Cooking & Dining at Peranakan Shophouse

Had a team building experience lunch here (11 of us) and it was so much fun! The space was gorgeous and Al was a fantastic host. The food was also super yummy. I'm vegetarian (the rest of the team are not) and the veggie spread was really good. I especially loved the cheese parcels! We were soooo full after and had to take away! We also really loved being able to tour the space with Al afterwards - he told us stories of all the artifacts around the house. It made it extra special that everything from the food to the artifacts were all very intentional and thought through. Highly recommend to teams or anyone who wants to celebrate a special occasion!
