3. D’Open Kitchen
D’Open Kitchen is all about bringing the fun back into cooking through engaging and interactive culinary experiences. This studio is especially great for groups as they have a variety of team-building or bonding activities incorporated into their classes.
If you’re looking to boost teamwork and communication, the cooking team-building activities are packed with competitive elements and loads of fun. You and your team will need to work together to overcome challenges.
Picture yourself in a real-life episode of MasterChef or Hell’s Kitchen — the Amazing Race activity lets you race against the clock to shop for ingredients on a budget. There’s also the Mystery Box challenge, which tests your creativity and adaptability as you whip up a main course with surprise ingredients.
The cooking team bonding activities, on the other hand, are more relaxed and non-competitive. They provide the perfect opportunity to get to know one another through the process of cooking. It’s all about having fun cooking together and connecting.
You can opt for the standard race where you are to complete a 3-course meal within the time given or go for basic cooking workshops. Alternatively, book your group a pasta masterclass or bread workshop that teaches you how to turn flour into delicious dishes.
To book your session, simply contact D’Open Kitchen on their website with your preferred date, time, number of participants, and the activity or event type.

5. ToTT Store Singapore
ToTT Store is known for its quality kitchen appliances and kitchenware. But, did you know they also host cooking and baking classes, private parties and team-building programs? They offer two types of cooking classes tailored to different learning preferences: Hands-on classes and Demo classes.
The hands-on classes allow you to get your hands dirty while preparing the dishes yourselves. In each class, you’ll get to practise certain techniques and cook using a wide variety of kitchen equipment. At the end of the class, you even get to take home all the dishes you’ve made, along with the recipe to recreate them later for your loved ones.
If you are more of an observational person, the Demo class lets you watch as a chef demonstrates the preparation and cooking techniques. You’ll still get to taste the dishes and leave with the recipe to try at home.
At ToTT, classes are led by passionate chefs who bring their expertise and love for cooking to every session. Not only do the regular instructors share their knowledge, but the store also features guest chefs like Audra Morrice, who you might recognise as the female judge from MasterChef Singapore.
There are also ToTT Junior Chef classes for aspiring chefs aged 5 to 12 years. These classes are designed to be fun and educational, with a special focus on safety and creativity in the kitchen. Kids aged 8 and below must be accompanied by an adult, but don’t worry — there’s no additional fee for the accompanying grown-up.
