Ask me about the best meals I had in Penang and beside from the few finer dining exceptions, for local food I was most enamoured with one particular place and it isn't actually a restaurant! @nazlinaspicestation George Town is a cooking school and so so much more. Located in Campbell Street overlooking the main junction, Nazlina teaches her student how to cook various Malaysian and quasi Malaysian dishes such as Nasi Lemak, Rendang and Laksa but she will also cook up dishes on the fly depending on what is found together with the students at the fresh markets in the morning. The coconut and forest fern dish was about the most exotic and refreshing salad I've ever had. Nazlina makes the cooking easy and fun, with some ingredients pre prepared to make the few hours together pass by breezily. Nazlina also brightens the mood with her anecdotal humour and rich foodie knowledge. Besides from being located in a charming shop house surrounded by open shutters, the cooking stations are meticulously clean, and the produce extremely fresh. Best of all (for me) was the eating part! After a session of pounding, mixing and sizzling, everyone is rewarded with a what-feels-like super extravagant self-made meal at the long wooden table. If you go to Penang, this is the one signature foodies experience you can't miss!
