dishing out fond memories
Founded in Singapore, D'Open Kitchen was built on a simple belief: the kitchen is the best place to leave titles at the door. We aren't just a culinary school, we're a space where CEOs and interns stand side by side, peeling potatoes and plating masterpieces.
With a focus on halal-friendly, inclusive fun, we turn high-pressure corporate groups into collaborative teams, proving the best way to bond is through the stomach.
D'Open Kitchen is the work of founder Trish Yee, who opened the studio in 2014 with a simple belief: the kitchen is where people connect best. For over a decade she has been designing the classes and challenges our guests know us for, dishing out fond memories one session at a time.
Then she stepped out of the studio and onto national television. Competing against home cooks from across the country in Season 2 of MasterChef Singapore, Trish cooked her way through round after round and finished 3rd in the nation.
That experience now flavours everything we run. The pressure tests, the mystery boxes and the plating standards all carry a little of the MasterChef kitchen in them, guided by someone who has lived it.
We exist to turn the kitchen into common ground, a place where colleagues, friends and families set aside titles and to-do lists and simply create something together. Our mission is to make hands-on cooking the most memorable way for people in Singapore to connect, celebrate and belong, with food everyone can share.
Every experience is designed to spark real conversation and teamwork, not just a meal, but a shared memory people talk about long after.
Halal-friendly by default, with menus adapted for every dietary need, so no one is ever left out of the table.
We handle the planning, ingredients and cleanup. Your only job is to show up, get hands-on and enjoy the people around you.
We customise menus for any dietary restriction, so every participant feels valued and well-fed, with peace of mind for organisers.
Our professional chefs guide your team through every chop, stir and sauté, handling the technical details so you focus on the fun.
Premium cookware, fresh ingredients, aprons and cleanup, all in our spacious, central studio. Walk in, bond, walk out.
Our fully equipped studio sits in the heart of the CBD, just 3 minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT. Multiple professional cooking stations, a halal-friendly kitchen and room for groups from 10 to 100+.
Over more than a decade we've welcomed over 40,000 guests through our doors, from multinational corporations, banks and tech startups to government agencies, schools, families and groups of friends. Teams come to us from across the CBD and beyond to cook, compete and connect, and our halal-friendly kitchen means everyone can take part.
Real experiences from teams who have cooked, competed and bonded with us.
