Since 2010 we have been welcoming our guests to our humble home at Kinarut, Sabah. Then in 2013 till 2023 we did our cooking session at our restaurant.

Now in 2024 we welcome back our guests to our home again. What a journey we had gone through with all our guests from around the world. We have shared so many stories between us, cooking sharing recipes then eating together feels like we have extended families from all over the world.

So many of you cooking enthusias or just want the experience to cook local food like a family, from the small girls and young boys to the teenagers, young adults, mums and dads to the grandparents same generation with mum Halimah. We enjoyed every moment we shared together.

Hoping to continue sharing this experience as long as we could and still welcoming new faces to our humble home. We love to share our recipes in exchange to hear your stories and hope that you would one day recreate the recipes you learned back home.

Thank you for visiting us here ❤️
If any of you would want to do this cooking tour and join the cooking session, can message us directly. We would love to have another sharing stories and eating together session. 😁🥰

Lots of Love,

Lenny and Halimah

These are special group of friends from Netherlands and Belgium that met up especially for tour in Borneo. They requested to learn sweet & sour chicken, sayur lodeh which is local mix vege cooked in coconut milk, fried rice noodles, sambal belacan and we also did fried squids.

They really enjoyed cooking together and learning the new dishes. Everyone needs to do the hands on cooking and prepare the ingredients. The dishes tasted so good especially because everything were fresh from the market.

Thank you for coming to our humble home and doing the cooking with us. Anybody interested can book via WhatsApp link and enquire in advance. Let us know if you have special menu you would like to learn. Looking forward meeting and hearing stories from all of our guests around the world. 🥰

Love,
Lenny & Halimah

Our lovely guests Paul, Anne and Clementine who found us from Lonely Planet guide book (info here not updated btw 😁). They are from France and very adventurous group of friends who loves cooking and tasting new dishes.

They requested to learn Laksa Nyonya so we did it together. Also they cooked chicken rendang and one of local favourites kangkung belacan or morning glory stir fry in prawn paste.

Our menu to learn can be flexible as long as you are willing to learn and we will be able to meet your request. Just inquire in advance.

Glad that they enjoy their food even they can't really take much of spicy food. They all take part in cooking together. Then enjoying to fruits of labour while sharing stories is the best to end the wholesome day. Thank you for coming and enjoying our local food. Till we meet again. ❤️🥰

Love,
Lenny & Halimah

Starting from getting your ingredients at the local market, explore the vast variety of fresh ingredients probably something you have never seen or even tasted before.

When done shopping and mingle with the friendly locals, then head on to our humble home to meet your "cook of the day" Halimah who has experienced meeting and teaching our guests for the past 13 years from all around the world.

We have our own recommendation menu for cooking but if ever you would like to learn something specific we are really flexible.

After all the hands on cooking, we sit together and feast to all the local menu that you cooked or the ones we served. Sharing stories and experience from around the world have been the most joyful thing that we sometimes don't even realise that time passed by.

If you would like to experience this while having your holidays in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah please do contact us for further information. We would welcome you with open arms. 😁🥰❤

2.11.2023 the day that we came back again for our cooking class entertaining our guests back at our home just like we did in 2010.

Our cheerful guests from Canada and England had a wonderful time in our humble home that's actually still under repair to accomodate our guests.

For those who didn't know, we actually did our cooking class at our restaurant for 10 years since 2013.

Hopefully moving back the cooking class at our home gives a more intimate setting and relaxing ambience. Sharing stories and experience from around the world while cooking and eating our local food. ❤
