I love love love eating. I could probably get two plates of Nasi Lemak and a round cake all by myself. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one here – you probably do it too! However, there are days when I am too lazy to go out, yet my cravings are begging to be heard. That’s when it strikes me, “Why don’t I cook them instead?”. Yet, the problem does not end there. I either don’t have the recipe or don’t know how to make them. Thereupon, I’ve reached a conclusion that it’s best to learn to cook a thing or two during my free time. Afterall, cooking is a fun experience where you get to mingle with new friends and share food together. Besides, you can even recreate the food at home to impress guests and loved ones. I happily share with you 10 cooking classes in Klang Valley that will pique your interest in cooking… and eating!
