Review Body: We signed up for a Peranakan kueh-making experience via Seek Sophie and it turned out to be truly one of a kind. Under the guidance of our lovely host Jasmine, we made Ang Ku Kueh with four different fillings—peanut, salted mung bean, red bean, and sweet mung bean. She shared very practical tips (especially on preventing the skin from cracking), which makes it something we can actually try again at home. We also made kueh dada, and the gula melaka coconut filling was a highlight—not overly sweet like many store-bought versions, but well balanced and fragrant. We were pleasantly surprised that we could bring home a generous amount of the kueh we made, which made the experience even more worthwhile. What truly sets this apart, however, is Jasmine’s incredible collection of traditional moulds. The mini “tour” of her collection—featuring pieces from places like Greece, Belgium and Taiwan—was fascinating. Each mould had a story and her passion for preserving these cultural artefacts is genuinely infectious. To wrap up, we enjoyed the kueh we made together with tea and additional snacks she thoughtfully prepared, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. All in all, this is a unique, meaningful and well-curated experience. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates food heritage and hands-on cultural activities—we’re already looking forward to her upcoming cookbook!

Review Body: Jasmine was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her craft. What could have been a simple kueh-making workshop became a fascinating journey through food heritage, culture, and history. Her collection of traditional moulds is remarkable, and every piece came with a story that reflected years of dedication and research. She explained the cultural significance behind the moulds and kuehs in a way that was engaging, personal, and easy to appreciate, regardless of your prior knowledge. The hands-on portion was equally enjoyable. We learned to make Ang Ku Kueh and Kueh Dada almost from nothing, enjoyed delicious homemade kueh, lovely tea and had many meaningful conversations throughout the session. To top it all off, Jasmine surprised my wife with a birthday cake. I had mentioned it beforehand as intent of this activity, so it was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more special and personal. If you're looking for something beyond a typical workshop and want a genuine cultural experience hosted by someone who truly lives and breathes her passion, I would highly recommend spending an afternoon with Jasmine.

Review Body: Great experience! Jasmine is a very hospitable host and is super knowledgeable about Asian food culture. We went as a family and every one had a lot of fun and learnt a lot. Jasmine is an encyclopaedia of knowledge about food - we lived in Singapore our whole lives and didn’t know most of what she was telling us about Peranakan culture and the stories behind the Kueh. Knowing the stories behind the common foods that we have grown up with made it so much more meaningful. We also really loved the Kueh that we made - it was super good quality. Much better than what you can buy outside! Who knew that ang ku kueh could be made with sweet potato? And that made the colours so beautiful too. It was really fun! And finally the tea time with Jasmine was also great. There was sooo much food and it was all very yummy. Thanks Jasmine for being such a great host and giving me and my family a lovely afternoon out.

Review Body: We had such a wonderful time with Jasmine for our team-building kueh making experience! Jasmine was incredibly hospitable and knowledgeable, not just about making kueh, but also about the different moulds and the history behind them. She was also so humorous and made the whole experience really fun and relaxed. Our team had a blast making ang ku kueh and kueh dada, followed by Jasmine sharing fascinating stories about her beautiful collection of moulds. She even has her own garden, where she grows plants that she uses to naturally colour the kueh, which was such a lovely touch. We ended the session with a wonderful tea session featuring her own tea blend and lots of delicious food. It was such a thoughtful and memorable experience, and a great way for the team to bond. 100% recommend this experience, especially if you’re looking for something fun, hands-on and meaningful!

Review Body: Our family had a wonderful experience with Jasmine. She is an extremely welcoming host and we felt right at home at her wonderful house. We learned a lot about the art of traditional cookie making and Jasmine showed and told us about the cookie moulds from around the world. Under Jamsine's (and her helper Alice's) expert direction we made the dough and the cookies ourselves as well as the delicious pancakes. We then tasted them all over tea and an interesting conversation about the food and the culture. Jasmine shared her recipes with us and gave us some moulds as a present, which was a really nice gesture. It was an amazing experience and we definitely recommend Jasmine and her masterclass if you are after something original and unique in Singapore!

Review Body: Jasmine’s class was one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Singapore. What I expected to be a cooking class felt more like stepping into a living museum—her home is filled with hundreds of beautiful molds, each with a story tied to culture, history, and personal memory. She is incredibly warm, energetic, and deeply knowledgeable, weaving together food, design, and heritage in a way that feels both intimate and expansive. Making Ang Ku Kueh from scratch was fascinating (and humbling), but what stayed with me most was her perspective—that even simple tools like molds carry the hopes and beliefs of a culture. If you’re interested in food, craft, or cultural storytelling, this experience is truly special.

Review Body: We had an amazing time with Jasmine! My daughters (ages 10 and 14) and I took this class today. We came home with kueh to share with our family and the recipe and skills to replicate it later. The kueh was delicious. Jasmine makes the experience in her home so personal and interesting--she showed us kueh molds from all over the world and helped us understand how we could see cultural and historic connections in the practices of food decoration. She really connects the lesson to the history of migration and interacting cultures. We learned so much and finished with a lovely tea and kueh at her kitchen table. It was very memorable -- thank you, Jasmine!

Review Body: We had a fantastic time at the Ang Ku Kueh workshop! Jasmine’s passion for her collection and the mold history made it special. She kept everything simple, so everyone felt at ease. I’m especially proud to have learned this traditional dish, a reflection of the place we call home. Jasmine’s clear, step-by-step instructions made it easy to follow and I know my kids will be able to carry on this tradition one day. We shared stories and jokes as we molded, and the delicious Ang Ku Kueh was a hit—my teens and husband included! Tip for future guests: Relax and enjoy the process—Jasmine creates a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere!

Review Body: We had a wonderful time with Jasmine! The whole experience felt rustic and authentic, as if we were stepping back in time to learn treasured recipes passed down through generations. Jasmine was incredibly welcoming, and we felt comfortable trying, tasting, and asking questions. The kuehs we made were tasty! Beyond just cooking, we enjoyed learning the cultural stories and heritage behind the kuehs and the cooking moulds, as well as sharing our own family traditions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to connect with tradition in a hands-on, delicious way! Come with an empty stomach :)

Review Body: Amazing experience! Jasmine was so warm and engaging, it really felt like we were learning how to make kuehs from a friend. We can feel her passion for molds as she showed us the different molds that she has, and we learnt about different cultures through her molds! As part of the experience, we also had a tea party with the kuehs that we made as well as other kuehs Jasmine bought. She prepared a special tea and a cake for my birthday too! Jasmine was such a great host and I will always remember this experience :) Shout out also to Alice, her helper who was really friendly and helpful!

Review Body: We had such an enjoyable hands-on experience making kueh at Jasmine’s cosy kitchen in a relaxed and informal setting. Even though it was our first time meeting her, Jasmine was so friendly and welcoming, which made the afternoon truly delightful. Her sharing about her beautiful collection of traditional moulds was both fascinating and insightful. It was a wonderfully informative afternoon, filled with learning, laughter, and of course, tasting our very own homemade kueh. Made with real, quality ingredients, they turned out absolutely delicious!

Review Body: We had a great time with Jasmine making angkukueh and kuehdardar. This is more of a kueh making experience, as compared to learning how to make a kueh, since the dough and fillings were pre prepared by Jasmine. You will focus on making the angkukueh with the mould and rolling the kueh dardar with coconut. It was a fun experience. Jasmine is incredibly knowledge on moulds. We enjoyed listening to her sharing. Highly recommend you to join her workshop for a special occasion!

Review Body: It was a team bonding event for office colleagues in celebration of professional administrative week. Jasmine is very personable, sharing her experience and knowledge in a cosy and intimate setting. Jasmine also has a vast and interesting collection of moulds and stories to share. It is like visiting a friend's home to pick up a tip or 2 in cooking yummy desserts. Easy to master and zero stress/ expectation and bringing home a bag of delicious treats.

The tea was beautifully set up and it was so nice enjoying the fruit of our labour at the end of the experience. Highly recommend for those who love kuehs and want to hear super interesting stories from a collector!

Review Body: Jasmine put in a lot of thought and effort into curating this unique kueh making experience. We not only learned how to make kuehs from Jasmine, but also got inspired by her passion with the kueh mould. This isn't a run-of-the-mill experience and highly recommended. Lastly, just be prepared for kueh overdose during the session and the containers of kueh you'll be bringing home
