Pensonic Cooking Class with Dato Chef Haji Ismail

Received an invitation or to be more specific I actually won from the Pensonic Raya-Merdeka Bring Chef Home contest, so thank you Pensonic for a great Cooking Class with Dato Chef Haji Ismail on a rainy Saturday morning last week (16/8/2014). 

Reached DoubleTree by Hilton KL early and was greeted by friendly staff of Pensonic. Dato Chef was already there and gladly took photos with invited guests and participants at the photobooth with props. I also noticed that there are on ground Instagram contest for 7 lucky winners to bring home Pensonic Chef's Like series kitchen appliances. He is such a friendly, down to earth and funny person. Simply light up the room as we enter for a cooking class with him.

First thing first, picture time..then breakfast! i was so hungry so the finger food really helps..haha Pastries, donuts and cute cupcakes filled up my empty stomach that morning quite well. :)

While waiting for the session to start, we continue to snap some pictures around. who knows might win something under the instagram contest. hehe. The event finally starts at about 1030am, but Chef ismail didnt want us just to sit and listen, so he get us to form a group front of the stage and next thing we knew we were dancing to the  beat from "Sway With Me". He can really moves! Haha..it was quite fun. After 10-15 minutes of dance routine, he finally decided to teach us how to cook Nasi Cili Hijau, Ayam Percik and Otak Otak. Very informative session and he kept us entertained with his wits and humor. The class was interactive with questions and answers plus the laughter from the audience.
