Food Playground is a hands-on cooking school offering cultural cooking classes and corporate team building workshops since 2012. We operate out of a pre-war heritage shophouse in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown, and have a unique social mission of providing flexi-work employment opportunities for stay-at-home mothers and active seniors who have limited avenues to return to the workforce. Being a social enterprise, we empower these women through structured training in facilitation and public speaking to develop them into confident culinary instructors and event facilitators. We invite you to join us in this meaningful cause while meeting your objectives of having an unforgettable cooking experience with us.
Our signature Cultural Cooking Class offers a cultural immersion experience for travellers and expatriates to learn more about Singapore’s food heritage, while our customized team-building programmes help organizations bond and achieve various corporate objectives like assimilating new team members, breaking down silos, enhancing creativity and learning.
We believe that food forms an important part of culture and part of the joys of traveling is to be able to appreciate local food from a local’s perspective. We want visitors to our cooking school to walk away not only knowing more about the Singapore food culture and heritage but also with more motivation and “courage” to try out local cuisine.
Food Playground is consistently ranked the Top Activity in Singapore on Tripadvisor, and is featured and recommended in Lonely Planet Singapore guidebook. Our flagship Cultural Cooking Class programme is the recipient of the ‘Best Learning & Travel Experience’ at the 2013 Singapore Experience Awards. Our commitment to go the extra mile for our customers has also been publicly recognized when we were awarded the prestigious ‘Singapore Service Excellence Medallion’ in 2015. Our dedication to employee well-being is also the main reason why Food Playground was recently awarded GOLD for Excellence in Work-Life Balance at the 2017 HR Excellence Awards.
