“Saadiah was a star of a teacher! We had such a nice time learning to cook Nasi Lemak and Chicken Rendang. Saadiah told us so much about her life, her history and culture. It was a delicious, well earned lunch that we all got to enjoy together. I would 100% recommend this class, especially if you're able to get Saadiah as a teacher (usually Saturdays).
