Kuih Muih Party: Sweet and Savory Malaysian Cakes

A hands-on in-person cooking class culminating in a dinner served with wine and beer. This class is limited to 14 students. Review our registration and cancellation policies here.

Kuih, or its plural form Kuih Muih, is a class of snacks both sweet and savory that are popular in Malaysia and across the South East Asia region. Sweet versions of Kuih are typically made from rice, coconut and palm sugar, and can become savory bites with the addition of spices, herbs, and vegetables. They are some of the most versatile bites, as they can be eaten as a breakfast item, at tea time, as a dessert, or as a snack! 

Join Chef Linda and cook with fellow students to create a variety of Kuih Muih that can inspire your menu this holiday season!
