I had very high hopes for the 8 day course at Palate Sensations and was extremely disappointed by it. I do not recommend it at all, there are many better options in Singapore.
If it had been advertised as a “Survive Singapore’s Hell’s Kitchen” event at least I would have expected the contempt and exasperation shown to students by Chef Ryan. However, it was their Culinary Foundations class for beginners, and while I anticipated an immersive and enjoyable experience, it was not.
This course is advertised as:
-specially created for beginners
-ideal for people who have none or some prior experience to cooking
-for the home gourmand to becomie a proficient cook
-basic culinary skills that help establish a firm foundation
While one can’t deny that Chef Ryan has a passion for cooking, he definitely does not have a passion or interest for teaching beginner, home, and non-industry cooks.
He arrived late for most sessions and we then had to wait further for him to collect the days’ supplies from the store room; the instructions for the day were hurried, chaotic and disorganized; he spent a significant portion of each class in another part of the facility preparing the mid-day staff meal or lunch for corporate events; he was impatient and frequently scolded students (so much so that one left humiliated half way through the first class); when he was available he would just watch us and rather than give helpful instruction or reminders, he would wait until we made an error so he could criticize. It made for a completely awkward and unpleasant atmosphere throughout the duration of the classes.
He made it clear he has worked in professional kitchens for many years and while that explains where he learned that behaviour, it does not excuse the lack of respect he shows all of his (paying!) students. We were all there to learn or improve our skills, and rather than fostering an excitement and passion for cooking, he managed to do the complete opposite.
While I did learn a few new techniques it was not worth the cost or the ordeal.
The ‘cookbook’ provided was a set of poorly photocopied pages and none of the recipes had methods that we actually followed (there were even errors in some, they should all be re-written). There were also some food handling issues (raw and thawed mussels sat at warm room temp for 3 1/2 hours prior to cooking- and no, I didn‘t want to taste them).
The only bright spot was the administrative/reception staff person as she was always friendly and helpful.

My daughter booked us in for the Bao Bun Class.
Great hands on experience for something that we wanted to learn / do together.
The class instructor Chef Loreta Quitoles was very helpful and gave us a number of tips while we went through the recipes.
A great experience for foodies.
Thank you to all the Team.

Our chef was good for the market tour, and quite knowledgeable about the history of the area/market. (He arrived fairly late, but did let us know ahead of time.) The actual class was about a 10-minute drive away, in a very modern building on kind of a corporate campus. It was a long-ish wait for the class to start, as the air-conditioning was not working. When we finally started, it was a little less hands-on than we had hoped, and at times it seemed like we were apprenticing with a chef (who was kind of barking orders at us) rather than being students doing this for fun. This was a private class for two people, so it wasn't like he was off helping other students. The food was delicious although way too much for two people (we made chicken rice, which requires cooking a whole chicken).

We took the evening Aroy Mak Thai cooking class in early July.
The dishes we cooked were: Tom Yum Goong (soup); Phad Thai (noodles); Thai spring rolls (fried); Mango Sticky Rice (dessert).
It was a 3-hour cooking class, so we came prepared with comfortable clothes and shoes. Our instructor Loreta was both friendly, encouraging and patient!
We had so much fun despite standing on our feet to cook for three hours! It was also my friend’s first time peeling raw prawns! Lol!
Highly recommended for friends, family bonding and even team building!

We started with the market tour at Tiong Bahru Market.
Ryan provided us with lots of interesting background information: the history of the area, the market, the products on offer and the variety of hawker stalls.
Afterwards we took a taxi to the cooking school. It is perfectly furnished so that we could start cooking right away.
Ryan is an absolutely competent cooking professional, so we were able to benefit a lot.
Enjoying the three-course meal was the perfect end to this great event.

I recently attended your baking class, and while I appreciate the opportunity to learn from a professional, I feel that the class did not live up to my expectations. As a student, I believe that learning is a two-way journey, and I am not here just to watch what the coach does and replicate it exactly.
I came to your class with the intention of learning new techniques, gaining a deeper understanding of the baking process, and exploring my creativity in the kitchen. However, I felt that the lack of explanation and detailed instructions during the class prevented me from achieving these goals.
As a student, I believe that it's essential to have a clear understanding of why certain techniques are used and how different ingredients work together to create the final product. I came to your class hoping to gain this kind of knowledge, but unfortunately, I felt like I was simply copying what you were doing without truly understanding the techniques involved.
I want to emphasize that my goal in attending your class was not simply to replicate what I could find on YouTube or in a recipe book. Rather, I came to your class with the hope of gaining a deeper understanding of the baking process and developing my own skills and creativity in the kitchen.
I want to emphasize the importance of time in the learning process. As a student, I understand that everyone's time is precious, and we all have busy schedules that make it difficult to commit to lengthy learning experiences.
When I decided to attend your baking class, I made a conscious decision to invest my time and resources into this experience, with the expectation that it would be a valuable and worthwhile use of my time. However, I found that the lack of detailed explanations and instructions during the class prevented me from maximizing my learning experience.
As a result, I feel that my time and resources were not used effectively.

Hi, it's unfortunate that your experience in our class has been less than enjoyable and learning-filled. Please know that every baking class is supposed to be a demo, where we explain the concepts and demonstrate the techniques and then ask participants to replicate hands-on. The outcome for each class also depends largely on both participants and instructors communicating clearly during the session. As we are hearing this from you only now, we would love to invite you to come to class again free of charge, and we will happy to address your concerns.
Palate Sensations Culinary School is the leading leisure culinary school in Singapore for 18 years now. We have thrived in this industry because of our commitment to quality instruction and the joyful experience we create for our community. We look forward to welcoming you to class one of these days.

Great instruction, great recipes, amazing passion for food and culture- not visiting Palate Sensations is a mistake!
We came to Singapore on vacation because of the food, and signed up for class at Palate Sensations to learn a couple of our favorite recipes right from the source. Having worked in food for the last 25+ years I can attest to the quality of both the recipes and the instructions. They know what they are doing and teach in a way that make even the most unsure in a kitchen feel comfortable.
A don’t miss - we will be back every time we come visit Singapore. Thanks to Lynnette and team for an amazing afternoon and for contributing to our Singapore memories!

I signed up for the Peranakan High Tea class for a day out with my mum and we were looking forward to a day of bonding and fun.
Less than 2 days before our class, they sent me an email telling me the class is cancelled due to low-sign ups.
Low sign-ups did not happen overnight. Palate Sensations would have known way ahead and could have offered me alternatives in advance. But of course, they don't care.
On the flipside, these are their terms for us:
Palate Sensations will not offer refunds, transfers, change of dates or postponements should you be unable to attend or if you arrive more than 10 minutes later than the commencement of the class for any booked or confirmed event. There are no reminders given for classes.
Reading the reviews here, Palate Sensations cancelling at short notice is not uncommon.
Sign up for their classes at our own risk. They impose much more stringent terms on us but keep things nice and easy on themselves.

Hi, it's unfortunate that your experience with us has been less than enjoyable. Please know that we try to keep classes open as late as we can to ensure that we have enough sign ups. We try never to cancel a class if we can help it but some guest chefs require a minimum of 4 participants to teach the class and this was unfortunately the case with this particular class. Nevertheless, we hope to welcome you back to our studio for another class. Please contact us directly and we will be happy to host you and a friend for free.

I've done many cooking and baking classes at various spots in Singapore, and Palate Sensations is definitely at the top. In particular I appreciate that all of their chefs are trained, industry professionals, which means they are able to instruct at a level above and beyond self taught home cooks and bakers. I've done classes now with 5 different instructors and all have impressed me with their knowledge, the valuable tips and tricks their share, and also their friendliness and approachability.
The sheer variety of classes offered is amazing, and I'm always finding a new one I want to try. The classes are well organised, with ingredients prepared and measured out ahead of time and recipes printed clearly and in detail. There have been a couple of occasions where minimum class numbers were not reached but they went ahead with the class nonetheless, which I think is amazing and is unheard of at other cooking schools in the city. There was one class, a 6-hour chocolate bonbon class, where I was the only participant, one on one with pastry chef Al. Amazing!
The food I've prepared has always turned out perfectly, is delicious and they are incredibly generous with the portions prepared, so I've always had leftover to take home and share with my family (such as the over 100 chocolate bonbons I made!). And the instructions and recipes are so clear and easy to follow that I've been able to replicate them at home with great success. This is a place I keep returning to again and again, and will continue to do so!
