Trial Lessons

A Trial Lesson is specially designed for first-timers at ABC Cooking Studio to experience the joy of cooking or baking, and serves as an introduction before signing up for our regular courses.

All Trial Lessons are conducted in small groups of up to 4 participants to 1 instructor, ensuring you receive attentive guidance and have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the session.

At the end of the lesson, our instructors will provide a short briefing on the ABC membership, including its benefits, course structure, package options, payment methods, and how to make reservations. This exclusive introduction is unique to Trial Lessons and is what sets them apart from other lessons such as 1Day Lessons or workshops.

You can book a Trial Lesson online or drop by at our studio at The Gardens Mall, KL.
