Join us for an immersive Malaysian Cooking Masterclass led by
award-winning Chef Norman Musa at Mercato Metropolitano’s Community
Kitchen in Elephant & Castle. This interactive cooking experience
will transport you to the heart of Malaysia’s vibrant food culture,
giving you the chance to master traditional techniques while
creating two of the country’s most beloved dishes: handmade
dumplings and Penang wok-fried noodles.
Ideal for both beginners and seasoned cooks, this workshop will
teach you how to make delicious dumplings with both vegetarian and
vegan options, as well as a flavourful stir-fried noodle dish with
prawns, also available in vegetarian and vegan variations. In a fun
twist, participants will use a pestle and mortar to prepare
ingredients like garlic, adding an energetic, hands-on element to
the session. Under Chef Norman’s expert guidance, you’ll not only
cook but also learn the rich stories and heritage behind these
Malaysian specialities.
Once you’ve prepared your dishes, you’ll enjoy the fruits of
your labour in a communal dining experience with your fellow
participants, savouring the authentic flavours of Malaysia.
