Step into the chef's home kitchen for an intimate, hands-on cooking experience inspired by the vibrant flavors of Singapore. Together, you'll prepare one of Southeast Asia's most beloved comfort foods: Hainanese chicken rice. Learn how to poach tender chicken and create fragrant rice infused with rich chicken broth, garlic, ginger, and chicken fat. You'll also make the classic accompaniments, including fresh cucumber, tomato, and traditional dipping sauces like chili, ginger-scallion, and soy.
To complete the meal, you'll prepare a light and refreshing strawberry coconut sago dessert—the perfect sweet finish to this iconic menu. Along the way, you'll learn the history and techniques behind these classic dishes and discover how simple, everyday ingredients can be transformed into an authentic Singaporean feast that you can confidently recreate in your own kitchen.
No experience is required! All equipment and ingredients will be provided. Our events are casual and meant to be fun, relaxing and instructive. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
Please note that class will be hosted in Chef Nikila's place. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in and get comfortable. Guests ages 21+ are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.
As an engineering graduate who transitioned into recruitment, Chef Nikila spent years analyzing talent before deciding to follow my true calling: food. Driven by a lifelong passion for cooking, she stepped away from the corporate world to immerse myself in the culinary arts. Her journey took her deep into the heart of Singapore, where she had the unique privilege of learning authentic Singaporean cuisine directly from local home cooks and street food masters. Today, she combines her analytical background with firsthand cultural training to share the vibrant, rich flavors of Southeast Asian cooking with the world.
