I did the special cooking class in the traditional house of the Pulau Ubin Island. In terms of discovery, I would rate the day on a very good level, nice boat ride, Island walk and lots of things. But the group had 37 people and didn't offer the small circle I was expecting from this special school. The food we... More

Really enjoyed Ruqxana's explanation about the origins of Laksa cooking and learning how to make it too. My wife and I attended the class along with two guests from Australia who we really enjoyed spending time with. We used a small camera to record video of much of the cooking and made notes on the helpful booklet that Ruqxana provided.... More

This lesson was all I hoped for - and more. Raquxanna is a warm and easy-to-understand instructor. I absolutely love her outdoor kitchen - and being in her home gives us a feel for "real" Singapore. The meal was fantastic. Very hands-on...we did most of the work with instruction or guidance from Raquxanna when needed. I sure learned alot. We... More

Ms Vasenwalla takes you through each and every step of the cooking process. I have attended some dessert baking and cooking classes and my daughter who comes down to Singapore from New Jersey, USA, never fails to attend one course or another - Thai, Malaysian cooking at Ubin island, Chinese. Excellent value for money. I'd recommend Ruqsana any day!

One of my favourite dishes, so it was a must to attend when I saw it featured on the cooking menu! The recipes provided have enabled me to reproduce the dishes easily at home. I loved the quirky house and kitchen in which Ruqxana teaches, and because I love cats they added to the quirkiness. Although the mother cat and... More

What a great time, my mother and I just attended the cooking school and learned how to make, fish Laksa, pepper prawns and coconut pancakes with palm sugar. We really enjoyed this hands on class held at the back of Raquxanna's home, she and her small team were so friendly and helpful, the result was delicious, we will be trying... More

We had a morning session, we started from scratch by making our own fish stock. Very helpful team, and the food was very nice. It's a bit expensive, but you get value for money! Would definetely recommend it!

I had an amazing time at Ruqxana's Pulau Ubin class. The setting brought me back to Singapore kampong life in the 60s. Ruqxana is very knowledgeable in her craft and it was an educational afternoon learning about using herbs for flavour or medicinal effects and learning to cook sumptuous local delights. Though we were bunch of strangers, Ruqxana's intelligent humour,... More

The place was a kind of kampong house so I felt nostalgic and relaxed. I was served some drinks and talked with new people who attended cooking class for a while. It was small Italian cooking class outdoor so whatever I have questions. It was easy to ask a lecture. She was polite and kind. Even we were slow to... More
