5 Best Cooking Classes in Singapore (2026)

Food Playground runs hands-on cooking classes and corporate team-building sessions out of Chinatown, teaching visitors and locals to cook Singaporean dishes like egg fried rice, chicken rendang and kueh dadar. The company has operated since 2012 and pairs each session with stories about local food heritage, and it also runs a social mission employing stay-at-home mothers as instructors. Beyond standalone classes, it offers kids' holiday cooking sessions and a Chinatown food race for larger groups.

D'Open Kitchen is a cooking studio near Shenton Way built around corporate culinary team-building, running a masterchef-style format where small groups compete on a shared menu under a chef's guidance. Sessions open with a short demo before splitting participants into cooking teams, with dishes judged at the end by taste. It is squarely aimed at colleagues looking for a livelier, more competitive spin on a cooking class rather than a straightforward lesson.

Commune Kitchen operates a Downtown Singapore studio offering hands-on cooking classes alongside kitchen rental, with menus spanning mystery-box challenges, chocolate-making and pizza and pasta nights. It caters to a wide range of groups, from domestic helpers building cooking skills to couples and corporate teams, and frames its recipes around plant-forward, globally inspired cuisine. The studio can split larger groups into several cooking stations at once.

Grà Baking Academy runs baking-focused classes out of MacPherson Mall, covering courses from basic cakes to lean dough bread-making and macarons. Reviewers describe small class sizes with instructors walking each student through techniques step by step, and students typically leave with the full batch of what they baked. It is a narrower, baking-only alternative to the general cooking studios elsewhere on this page.

Let's Yori is a Korean cooking studio near Shenton Way built as Singapore's first dedicated Korean cooking class, splitting groups into small cooking tables of two to four people around dishes like kimchi stew and Korean fried chicken. Sessions run instructor-led with pre-portioned ingredients, and reviewers report each table's dish coming out slightly different despite following the same recipe. The space also books as a private kitchen studio for team events.
