"We took the cooking class and market tour with Tan. It was absolutely the best experience. The market was full of great foods, ingredients and people. Her restaurant is like being in someones private garden, with fresh herbs and a hydroponic farm. But the best part was learning the thai recipes from Tan. It was like hanging out with a great friend all day. Highly recommend taking her class or even just going for a meal. It is worth it!! 100/10"

"Absolutely amazing food, I have to put this burger (kala special burger) in my top 3 burgers it’s so good and they put some kind of sauce in it which was so good. Service was fine however when I asked a waiter what the sauce was made of and he didn’t know and I asked the manager and she couldn’t really explain it. The atmosphere was ok however there were a lot of noisy motorcycles because it was next to the main road. In conclusion the place was nice."

"This is by far the best cooking class I’ve ever attended! Chef Tan is incredibly patient and generously shares her cooking tips. We began with a market tour, then picked fresh herbs from her farm, and she thoroughly explained every ingredient before guiding me step by step through the cooking process. Thanks to her teaching, I now feel confident and inspired to cook Thai food at home. I highly recommend her class to anyone interested in learning authentic Thai cooking!"
