To be honest, I ended up here because ChatGPT suggested it! I booked online, and I really appreciate that they accommodated me even though it was a same-day reservation. (I definitely recommend booking at least a day in advance, though—sorry for the last-minute booking!) As someone who wanted to experience the local atmosphere, this cooking class was perfect. It's a house in a residential area where the owner grows ingredients right in the garden, and the owner warmly cooks together with you in their actual home. Of course, the food was also amazing. It was the best meal I had during my trip to Singapore. You can really taste how much time and effort goes into it, and that love makes the food so delicious. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, with friends, or with family, I think anyone can enjoy this experience. It will definitely make your trip to Singapore one of a kind.

Taking a cooking class at Cookery Magic was one of the highlights of my trip to Singapore! I attended on my own, but the small group was so welcoming that I immediately felt comfortable and had an amazing time. I signed up few days in advance on a whim it was the best part of my trip. Learning to prepare dishes like onde onde, chili prawns, and ayam lemak was so much fun, especially since I love to cook and these dishes were new for me. Ruqxana is a fantastic teacher who encourages you to enjoy the fun of cooking, learning new techniques, and discovering incredible Singaporean flavors at a comfortable pace. I highly recommend starting your visit to Singapore with one of Ruqxana's cooking classes or making it one of your final bonding activites before you go. It's such an authentic and enriching introduction to the country's culture, cuisine, and hospitality. I left with delicious recipes, wonderful memories, and the confidence to recreate these dishes at home. A truly unforgettable experience!

My husband and I had a lovely time learning how to make laksa, chicken satay, & peanut sauce with Ruqxana during our honeymoon! The class was very well-paced and with individualized attention. We loved that each group got to make all of the dishes! (This is much better than classes where each group makes 1 component & you don't get to learn all the dishes.) Our class was outdoors in her garden, and we thought it was very cool to see a local's home. (You might want to bring bug spray!) Lastly & most importantly, Ruqxana's recipes were DELICIOUS -- way better than the renditions we'd had at the hawker centers! I wish we could take all of Ruqxana's classes -- she knows flavor!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Cookery Magic! Learning to prepare dishes like onde onde, chilli prawns, and ayam lemak was such a joy. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming—there was no rush, no pressure, just the pleasure of cooking and discovering new flavors at a comfortable pace. I highly recommend beginning your stay in Singapore with one of Ruqxana’s cooking classes. It’s such an authentic and enriching way to connect with Singapore. Ruqxana is a warm, passionate host who genuinely loves sharing her culinary heritage. Her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm make the whole experience unforgettable. Thank you, Ruqxana, for such a memorable and inspiring day!

I had a wonderful moment with Ruqxana discovering the wet market, its history, the stalls and the local vegetables. Also, what a great time learning to cook "Onde onde, Poppiah and Bibik mee", there is no hurry or any stress during the workshop. I would highly recommend starting your stay in Singapore with one of Ruqxana's cooking classes. You'll get straight to the heart of the matter by visiting a local wet market and then following up with a cooking session. What an experience ! Ruqxana is delighted to help you discover her country through its cuisine. I would like to thank her for her kindness.
