My name is Shamini, a working mom to 2 beautiful children. I've been always very passionate about food and cooking since tender age. I am Malaysian born and I've moved around within the country during young age so I picked up local favorites from all the states we stayed, to name a few; Penang, East Coast - Kuantan, Ipoh and now Kl. As part of my work, I've traveled around Asia Pacific, and picked up many food-related skills, both eating and cooking, which I would love to share with everyone! I am recognized for my abilities in the fusion and savory kitchen, and value cooking with locally-sourced ingredients. My culinary principal is to create a variety of appealing and scrumptious vegetarian dishes that not only does good to your body, but also creates a healthy mind! I've gotten many amazing reviews from my guests that has come so far.

Let’s start with arriving at the gate, we were treated as if we were there to rob someone. I had confirmation paperwork with all the details and the security guards even called her to verify... It took us 10 minutes just for security to let us through to her building after requiring us to show our passports. Then we had to be escorted by security to her door... only to be met by Shamini who apologized that she had completely forgotten about our class. WHAT??? She had confirmed with me twice... even asking to change the time from 10am to 11am. Her reasoning for not remembering was that bonappetour didn’t send her a reminder... one would think that if this is what you do for a business that you would keep your own calendar. She offered to reschedule, however, we only had 3 days in Kuala Lumpur and the other days were already booked with other activities... We then had to be escorted by security back to the front gate. We had taken a taxi to get to her place and it left when we walked up to her apartment. Then of course we had to find a taxi right back to our hotel as we stood on the sidewalk in front of the guard shack. When the guard originally called up to her it would have been nice if she told us then that she had forgotten so we wouldn’t have lost our original ride. I have been assured by bonappetour that they will be processing a refund for the class but they have to discuss rather we will be refunded the taxi fare.

Our evening with Shamini was completely wonderful. My friend and I were greeted with an amazing drink and fresh fruit to get started, and then Shamini brought out dish after dish of fresh, flavorful Indian delights. She did an amazing job of explaining the origin and key details of each dish, as well as the background of why eating with hands is preferred. Then, she joined us at the table and we dug in, alongside lively, interesting, and friendly conversation while her adorable children played in the next room. It was great to get to know her, and it felt so much like sitting around a friend's kitchen table. Shamini was so gracious, and as we ended the night with a gorgeous cup of Masala tea - she even offered to drop us closer to our hotel on the way to pick up groceries for her cooking class the next day! What a joy it was to have such a warm and comfortable evening in the middle of travels. I highly recommend!

The First time I was at her home I loved the food so much that I decided to go back for cooking lessons and than again for dinner. She's so nice, her children and her home. Everything was perfect. I wish I could go back to Kuala Lumpur just for the food
