Kuih Ketayap Workshop

The smell of pandan and coconut filled the air as families gathered in Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park for a Kuih Ketayap Workshop that was as heartwarming as it was delicious. Seven families — parents and children, including those joining the new academic year — spent the afternoon cooking, laughing, and learning together. 

Led by our talented school pastry chef, everyone had the chance to make kuih ketayap from scratch. Children carefully mixed the batter for the pandan skin, while parents guided little hands in wrapping the sweet coconut filling. For some families who were new to Malaysia, the chef also introduced the unique aroma and flavour of pandan, helping them discover one of the most beloved ingredients in local desserts. Each family proudly took home their handmade kuih, along with the recipe to recreate it again at home. 

More than just a cooking class, the workshop was a chance for family bonding. Smiles and laughter filled the room as families praised one another’s cooking skills, discovered new talents, and connected through the shared joy of food. Along the way, the chef’s stories about the cultural heritage of kuih ketayap made the session not only fun, but meaningful. 

At the end of the day, families left not only with boxes of kuih ketayap, but also with sweet memories — proof that the best recipes are those made with love, laughter, and time spent together.
