Mark, the Co-owner of Simply Enak is looking forward to sharing his personal stories of cooking with you. In this fun-filled and interactive cooking session, he will be taking you on a journey into the Malaysian kitchen where you will learn about typical Malaysian dishes, how to prepare them, what ingredients to use and even their history. Mark enjoys cooking at home, at his friends’ and eating all his life. He started out cooking at the age of 7, mainly to assist his grandmother in the Nyonya kitchen. What has started out as a duty has turned into passion and appreciation?
