"Our family of 6 (2 adults, and 4 children ages 12, 11, 8 and 6) thoroughly enjoyed our morning of cooking at Sara's home kitchen in KL. We were looking for a fun learning experience for our kids and a chance to understand more about Malaysian ingredients. We got all of that and more. Sara was extremely patient with each of our children and included them in all activities. My kids left with big plans to cook many of the recipes at home - which we are confident we will be able to do thanks to the cute recipe book Sara provided and all of the additional tips we received. Thank you, Sara!"

"I’ve taken a range of cooking classes from professional to tourist, and this was one of the more authentic experiences I’ve had. Other cooking classes cart you around with a huge group of tourists, never giving you personal attention or the time to ask questions.

Sara keeps the classes small, teaches you step-by-step, and gives you a peek into Malaysian life when you visit her local market, tour her garden, or cook in the kitchen of her family home.

4worldlovers: APCA is a one-of-a-kind, hands on institution. Throughout the 9 month program you will learn skills and techniques which will well prepare you to work either in fine dining or hotels. What sets APCA apart from most culinary programs is the ability and freedom to explore your ‘Michelin guide’ plating fantasies and discover your style of creativity in terms of vision and palate as a chef-to-be.

I came from Maldives to study at the Academy. Even from the first visit I took, I fell in love with the place and the people here. Everyone’s so friendly and supportive, and they guided me through the admission process and every day since then! During the 9 months, I learnt so much about pastry and how to excel in the field I’ve always wanted to pursue. The chefs always demonstrated professionalism and they shared their knowledge with us so patiently and passionately. I’ve learnt so much about the art of pastry as well as new skills, but that’s not just it; I’ve also learnt a great deal about working in a kitchen and ways to excel in the field. This is all possible because of the unique hands-on approach utilized by the Academy. My time at the Academy also introduced me to some of the best people I’ve met. Everyone at the Academy was so supportive friendly, and I never felt like I was a visitor. They always made me feel at home! As I graduate, I’ve so much appreciation & gratitude for each & every chef & staff member at the Academy as well as my classmates. I’ll be taking home not just lessons and new skills that’d help me build my career but also some of the best memories of my life! Thank you, Academy of Pastry Arts, Malaysia. I’ll forever cherish my time here and recommend everyone who wish to pursue a career in pastry to join this fine academy!

The best academy I’ve ever been to. It’s not just an academy but it’s actually a very professional academy with certified chefs. It makes me feel like I’m home. A place where I could express my passion & love towards pastry. At the same time, it’s also a place where I get a chance to grab as many knowledge as I could. I would definitely recommend this academy to my family and other chefs. Definitely worth every penny. This is one of my stepping stones towards my dream. Good communications that connects me to different people with different cultures, races & more. I’m just a beginner student who just started the class few months ago but I felt like I’ve been year for quite a while now. The experiences I’ve gone through in this academy are very special to me. After all the though day I’ve been through, I’m blessed to be in this academy. Thank you APCA Malaysia.

I’ve been dreaming about being a chef and open my own restaurant in furure. Being a student here makes me feel getting closer to my dream every single day that I walk into the kitchen. I can clearly see the changes of my cooking style and knowledge in just a few months. To me the academy feels like home and all the chefs and students like my family members. I highly recommend this school for those who are as passionate as me about cooking. Join the school if you seriously want to become a chef and that’s something you can’t stop thinking dreaming about it.
