About the Session
Looking for a memorable team-building experience in Penang? Gather your team around a kitchen counter, roll authentic Korean gimbab, and discover why Koreans treat meal-sharing as the ultimate team ritual.
This 3-hour, hands-on program takes corporate teams from absolute beginners to confident gimbab rollers — while quietly building the skills that matter at work: coordination, clear communication, attention to detail, and patience. Each session is led by an experienced Korean cultural instructor at a select Penang venue.
What Your Team Will Do
- Learn the cultural story behind Korean gimbab — why it’s a national favorite, how it differs from Japanese sushi, when Koreans eat it
- Prepare every ingredient from scratch — season the rice, slice vegetables, prep proteins
- Roll your own gimbab with a bamboo mat, using techniques Korean home cooks have used for generations
- Pick up essential Korean dining phrases — greet your host, thank the chef, order with confidence
- Share the meal together — Korean-style, where finishing together matters more than finishing first
- Reflect on team learning — what we practiced today that we can use at work tomorrow

Best team activity we’ve done in ages and Tech’s energy was infectious!
Our team had such a blast learning to make gimbab together! The instructor was super patient and made everything feel easy, even though none of us had any Korean cooking experience.

The best part was sitting down together to eat what we made – it really did feel like we bonded over the shared meal just like the description promised.
