Arnold – Chef Tong was a great teacher and his humour was mildly spicy, just like the food we made.  I was a bit nervous going into the class thinking I wouldn’t be able to keep up but it was quite laid back and the other people who attended were friendly.  I bought this as a birthday gift and would highly recommend the Asian Street Food class because you’ll come away with some new skills and memories to look back on.

Class format. Vanilla Zulu Cooking Classes are a mixture of demonstration and group cooking practices. Instead of individual work stations, students will work in pairs and cook in groups of 4.  And afterwards, enjoy a feast of the meals prepared. Demonstration aspects of classes ensure we cover enough content to make you into a fabulous chef. We do not believe in making you peel carrots or chop onions!

Paul – I had a three hour Asian Street Food lesson and it was great fun and I was very impressed by the team of staff and how they ran the lessons.  My cooking skills are next to zero and I struggle to chop an onion or frying an egg, however with a patient chef, I managed to make a curry paste! (I thought they only came in a jar!)  Considering I am a completely useless cook, it was a great session and I made real food! Highly recommended for an afternoon culinary adventure.

Glenys – My husband and I had a brilliant time at our Asian Street Food adventure. Tong was a great presenter and very helpful during our cooking. Other staff were equally as helpful in looking after us. The recipes were suitable for all cooking abilities. The end results were delicious. Loved the tips on playing up! Tong had a great sense of humour. The 3 1/2 hrs flew through. It was such a great experience we will be looking at what other courses are available.

Mark – My wife and I participated in the Asian street food course with Chef Tong. AMAZING!  We teamed up in a small group and made a beautifully fresh salad. We learnt the secret to the best ever Asian salad dressing. We made lemongrass beef salad and Kara-age chicken.. finished off with a grilled banana and vanilla bean ice cream with salted caramel sauce…… the team did a great job to guide us through this culinary adventure. We can’t wait to return in the future to learn more about great dishes from cultures around the world

Class Terms & Conditions

NO REFUNDS ON BOOKINGS – but we do have a very generous rescheduling package, please check your invoice for details or visit our FAQ page.

Vanilla Zulu is usually booked out for several weeks in advance, late changes have an impact and we can’t always find replacement participants at short notice. Staff rosters and food are prepared in advance of each class. These rules are designed to protect our business, but also to ensure if something does come up, you and your friends don’t miss out on a great experience.

A minimum of 8 guests is required for the class to go ahead, in the event we don’t reach these numbers we will contact you in advance to reschedule your booking.

Please note: The menu is based on available seasonal produce and is subject to change at the experience provider’s discretion. You will work and cook together as a team, and shared a workspace and the kitchen equipment with other participants. A group cooking session with partial group participation is the most effective and fun way to add to your cooking skills. To ensure the class finishes on time some elements of the dishes are demonstrated.
