COOKING  a KADAZAN FEAST
presented by an ethnic Kadazan chef

First Session: 15 Dec 2011 (photos & comments)

strictly non-halal courses

This is a 1/2-day package tour cum cooking lesson tailored to our many visitors to Sabah, who are keen to learn & sample the local Kadazan cuisine.

This course is held only on Thursdays and Saturdays starting with a 07:00am meeting at our local TAMU (farmers' market). Your host chef will introduce you to our varied local vegetables, fruit, seafood & meats (including wild boar) at the market. At the market, we will select and purchase our required ingredients for the cooking lesson.

The group will then adjourn to our home "cooking school". While, non-cooking partners will proceed on a tour of Penampang district and return for lunch.

The cooking session (about 3 hours) will introduce authentic Penampang Kadazan dishes in a home setting. The maximum class size will be 6 persons only. The session will be both theory and hands-on.

We shall cook several of the following dishes (subject to availability of ingredients)

HINAVA (pickled raw fish)
NAPO do PAKIS (vegetable fern with dried shrimp)
(sayur manis with garlic)
(eggplant with dried shrimp sambal)
(pineapple & cucumber salad)
