What you can expect

Experience Sabah through its flavours!
Join us for a hands-on traditional cooking class in the heart of Penampang, where you’ll learn to prepare authentic Kadazandusun dishes passed down through generations.

This immersive culinary experience begins with a warm welcome from our local host. You’ll learn about traditional ingredients and cooking methods before diving into the preparation of iconic Sabahan dishes such as Linopot (rice wrapped in leaf), Hinava (fresh fish salad), Pinasakan Sada (braised fish with takob-akob), and more.

Whether you’re a food lover, a curious traveller, or someone looking for a unique cultural activity in Sabah, this class offers a genuine taste of local life. After cooking, sit down together and enjoy the meal you’ve prepared — the Sabahan way.
