What you'll do

Join award-winning chef, Junda Khoo as he brings you the flavours of Malaysia and takes you through three recipes from his recently published book 'Ho Jiak: A Taste of Malaysia'. These dishes represent a dynamic cuisine steeped in tradition, from street food classics to truly homestyle cooking.

Known for its its distinctive blend of sweet, sour, rich and spicy flavours, Malaysian cuisine is a feast for the senses. During this Malaysian cooking class, you'll be using using iconic ingredients like coconut milk, shrimp paste, and, of course, lots of seafood to master these flavour combinations as you make beloved dishes such as Malaysian chilli crab.

Junda's mission is taking Malaysian food to the next level at his exceedingly popular (and growing) stable of Ho Jiak restaurants in and around Sydney.

Translating to ‘good eats’ Ho Jiak is where Junda draws inspiration from the recipes passed down to him from his beloved amah (grandmother) and the street vendors of Malaysia. In 2022, Junda’s innovative creations led to him being nominated as a finalist for Chef of the Year by Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide.

What you'll learn

How each recipe is influenced by a memory of Junda’s early life.
That Ho Jiak celebrates just what makes Malaysian food so special.
Nourishing homecooked meals that Junda’s amah (grandmother) would make every week.
