Live Class vs Video Tutorial: Which One Suits You Best?

So you’re ready to dive into the world of hawker-style cooking—but stuck deciding between a live Zoom class or a video tutorial? Don’t worry, we get asked this a lot! At The Makan Mentor, we offer both options because we know everyone learns differently. Let’s break it down so you can choose what fits your lifestyle (and cooking vibe).

If you’re someone who enjoys real-time interaction and hands-on learning, live Zoom classes are your go-to. It’s like having a private chef coach you in your own kitchen. You get to ask questions, watch our instructors cook alongside you, and even laugh through the occasional kitchen mess-up—it’s all part of the fun! Plus, it feels like joining a mini community where everyone’s just as excited to learn sambal belacan from scratch as you are.

Prefer to learn on your own time? No problem! Our on-demand video tutorials are perfect for you. They’re detailed, beginner-friendly, and packed with clear steps you can follow at your own pace. Whether you're cooking at midnight or squeezing in a quick recipe after work, the flexibility is unbeatable. You can pause, rewind, and revisit any step without feeling rushed.

Still torn? Think of it this way: live classes are like attending a food workshop with guidance and energy, while video tutorials are like having a recipe library you can tap into anytime. And the best part? Both give you access to our expert techniques, secret tips, and authentic hawker-style recipes that’ll make your taste buds sing.

So go ahead—choose your learning style, tie on that apron, and let’s get cooking. Whether you prefer guided sessions or solo missions, we’ve got the recipe for success (and a satisfied tummy).
