Hear Our Origin Story & Social Mission

To help you understand why so many people are willing to spend half a day in Singapore to join our cooking class, we made a short video to share our story of why we started Food Playground, and how we helped a group of women in our local community find meaningful work and put their hidden talents to good use. This group of women are not trained chefs, but they will charm you with their passion and personal stories of how they grew up learning Singapore's heritage cuisine.

Do you know we have been consistently rated the number 1 Cooking Class/Workshop in Singapore on Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel review portal for independent travellers?
