Discover the heart of Singapore and Southeast Asian cooking in our immersive Rempah Making Masterclass, led by Anthony, the spice maker with decades of craft behind him. In this vibrant, hands-on session, you’ll uncover the secrets of rempah - the aromatic spice paste that forms the soul of many beloved local dishes. Learn to identify key spices, understand their roles, and experience the art of balancing fragrance, heat, and depth. 

Watch Anthony demonstrate how a traditional rempah is built from scratch and how it transforms into a rich, flavourful Nyonya Chicken Curry. Then roll up your sleeves: you’ll scoop your personal spice mix, blend it into your own fresh paste, and truly appreciate the joy of doing it yourself. 

The masterclass concludes with a tasting session where you savour the dish which you will be recreating at home. Perfect for food lovers, home cooks, and anyone eager to anyone eager to explore or rediscover Singapore’s culinary heritage.

Anthony The Spice Maker

I am Anthony The Spice Maker, a second-generation spice maker in Singapore, crafting traditional spice blends since 1986.

As a teen, I used to help out at my parents' spice stall in the wet market back in the '70s and it is how I picked up this age-old craft of spice mixing, very much inspired by the traditional recipes of the customers, which are often passed down from generations before.

I believe strongly in using only ethically- sourced, natural and unadulterated raw spices to craft authentic, Traditional Flavours of Singapore with no nasties added.
