- Tracey L1 contributionA wonderful experienceWe had a wonderful time at this cooking class. Thank you so much to Annie and Joanne. We learnt a lot about Singapore food and culture. Annie explained everything so well. Both ladies were very friendly and patient. The equipment was very clean and the hygiene level brilliant. It was a very enjoyable morning and then we were able to enjoy the delicious lunch. I look forward to recreating these delicacies when we return home. Highly recommend this class.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 16 October 2023

- C T K2 contributionsTeam Bonding activityFood playground did an amazing job in coordinating this. I contacted Daniel to request for a quotation and was given details on how and what will be conducted. We were impress from the start because there was no hidden cost and the interaction was smooth. Annie and Cindy were our host for the day, they gave us clear instructions and guided us throughout the session. The team bonding was a success, the place was clean and perfect for the 14 of us. We had fun whipping up 3 healthy dishes. We highly recommend food playground for company looking for team bonding activities! Location was great to, it was walking distance from chinatown MRT, definitely convenient!Visited November 2023Travelled on businessWritten 14 November 2023

- K GFramingham, Massachusetts7 contributionsFun and educational cooking class at Food PlaygroundWe had the best time with learning to cook a traditional dish (3 of them actually) with Mary and Annie. Besides learning to cook some great Indian dishes, we also learned some cultural history, all while having fun. Not only would we do another cooking class with Food Playground, we would highly recommend them to others as well.Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 3 January 2024

I have just returned from my 4th Visit to Food Playground SIngapore and can thoroughly recommend you try.
Hands on Cultural cooking classes with the most lovely Culinary Instructors ( thank you Mary, Helen and Teresa) .
The origins of the recipes are fully explained , then you cook under instruction and enjoy your finished dishes for lunch. It's a lot of fun and I'm sure you will want to come back again, as I did. Food Playground has won many accolades in SIngapore and it's easy to see why. Well done Daniel!

We did a Mother and son Valentines event with Food playground 2/14/2022 during our visit in Singapore. We have no regrets and will definitely be coming back for more cooking classes in future visits. Our instructor Helen Teo was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. She made it easy for us to learn and follow along. We had so much fun learning to cook local dishes and desserts. We were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor at the end of the class. I highly recommend Food Playground as an activity in Singapore. Thank you Helen for a wonderful class.

We had a team building baking activity today at the Food Playground. It was fun and entertaining from beginning to end. Excellent instructions and facilitation from Helen and Cindy! They are ever so patient and accommodating. Aunty Joanne, who helped to keep us tidy was so fun and full of energy. We all had a great time. Thanks for this wonderful experience!

This was a really great experience from start to finish. Not only do you get to make tasty Singaporean cuisine, you also learn so much about the culture behind the food from teachers whose lived experiences provide unparalleled perspectives. I’d gladly return on future trips!

Considering that I'm a cooking noob, I started the virtual lesson with apprehension. Who is going to save me from burnt Kaya? 😂 Surprisingly, the lesson was really simple and easy to follow. Mary, the trainer was patient and able to guide us well. None of us has burnt Kaya! Thumbs up for the pleasant experience!

Hi elizabethferreira59,
I also like to take the classes every day. Did you go to the market tour every day? Did they give you a discount for going every day?

I have an egg allergy. Is there a class I could do? It is OK if the others are using eggs.
Written 28 December 2018
Not sure, but as the people are very accommodating, I'm sure you'd be fine. In fact I was partnered with a vegetarian, and dishes were divided accordingly. Why not email Food playground direct?
