When I first hear about OUE Social Kitchen at the OUE Downtown Gallery, I thought it is another cooking school like Palate Sensation and CulinaryOn. It turned out to be a communal space of kitchen and dinning space. Still not getting it? Read on to find out.
Arriving at the gorgeously decked with state-of-the-art kitchen equipment OUE Social Kitchen, we were mesmerized. We fell in love especially with the range of SMEG kitchen appliances.
As we entered, we were greeted by a plain looking bar counter. This is where you can order and pay for your drinks. The drink list was simple with Red and White Housepour, Beer and some soda drinks.
OUE Social Kitchen offers a total of 8 cooking stations. 2 of which are for Halal cooking, the entire section located at the far end is separated from the rest of the 6 cooking stations to ensure even the appliances and cooking ware are Halal compliance. The Halal dinning section is also allocated in the same area. I thought this was considerate and well-thought.
Besides an array of Kitchen appliances, assorted seasoning and cutlery and utensil are available too. The best part of the service is that you DON’T have to clear your mess after cooking. This means you are scot-free from washing up. Yeah!!!
Furthermore, they have chefs around to assist, if needed.
In addition to the cooking stations and dinning area, there are 2 VIP rooms for booking to hold private events too.
So how does it work?
One could book a cooking station with OUE Social Kitchen via the app for $48 per hour or $108 per hour for the VIP rooms. You could then bring your ingredients to cook a storm with your guests. And finally, you are free to enjoy your fruit of labour at the dinning space.
