Trip To Chow Kit Market


These beautiful ladies were taken on a 50 cents tour at our famous open air market in K.L who joined our cooking classes last year.


Our Chef Rash personally brought them to choose and pick up local ingrediants especially poultry, seafood, meat as well as the top notch spices. Its an opportunity for a first hand look at the lifestyle inside the local markets at its noisy crowded peak hours a very real example of what a local malaysian wet market is. It is certainly enjoyable judging from the smiles despite it being very wet, and watery filled with chicken blood and fishy smells and a host of pungent spices for the taking, all under one roof.

In the heat, we took time off sampling coconut milk "santan" freshly squeezed from grated old coconut which taste great with or without a pinch of salt.

We headed back to Zwillingkitchenstudio after the tour. Our lesson by Chef Rash this time around is noodles which is the very popular Malaysian Street Hawkers food such as Mamak mee, Char kway teow stir fried with bloody fresh cockle's and chives, fishy sour and spicy soup that called Assam laksa and also thick yellow curry Mee Rebus served with fried beancurd, cockle's and served with chili paste "sambal"

Hands on operation time !! Everyone busy taking their part in preparing the mise-an-plus using Henckels product.

Its a food galore when it comes to the end of the class. Everyone was apprehensive waiting to dig in and taste the dishes, as the ladies sat down to enjoy the spoils after their hard work sharing about their experiences in Malaysia and their home country.
