Secret Chilli Club

Bringing fresh, eclectic healthy Modern Asian dishes into your home. Currently, Secret Chilli Club is in Gozo!

Founder Chef Ping Lim is passionate about creating Modern Asian flavors into everyone’s kitchen. She believes that everyone can create impressive dishes that are healthy, delicious, and from the comfort of your kitchen. “I grew up learning that Asian food is one of the easiest to prepare, once you have the right ingredients and cooking techniques in place.”

As a strong advocate of Cooking Therap

y, Ping believes the togetherness of the cooking experience brings about many health benefits - a view which is taken by counselors who are using “cooking or baking as therapy tools” for people suffering from mental health problems like anxiety, depression, and dementia. Moreover, by focusing the mind on following a recipe, cooking classes “soothe stress, build self-esteem, and curb negative thinking” (*source: Wall Street Journal). Ping was born in Malaysia and moved to Australia when she was 8. She grew up in a Peranakan kitchen (Malay & Chinese Fusion Cuisine) with a family heritage of chefs who held onto traditional cooking while incorporating the fresh produce of Australia. Her early years as “the garnishing girl” in her family restaurants remain evident in Ping’s love for plating beautiful dishes. In her previous life, Ping had a fulfilling career as an executive producer in advertising for over 25 years. She managed award-winning, high-profile, multimillion-dollar productions for the likes of Adidas, Dove, Motorola, Nokia, Hellmann’s, Vidal Sassoon, and others. At the heart of this is Ping’s work ethic & irreplaceable eye for great photography and design. Today – The Online Cooking and Tasting Classes
Ping and her husband currently reside in Stockholm, Sweden. Finding a lack of authentic and fresh Southeast Asian cuisine, she started making curry puffs to satiate her taste buds. This quickly turned into a business as people started approaching her for corporate and private dining events and eventually brought her unique dishes to catering companies. These unprecedented times have led to her realizing the importance of pursuing her passion for cooking and this is how her online cooking classes were born. Fortunate to have friends across New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Vienna, Paris, and London, Ping has extended her passion to not only feed but share her cooking tips and tricks, through her Online Cooking & Tasting Classes.

A massive thank you to Karen Tonna for organizing this incredible team-building day and getting everyone into the kitchen!
Want the ultimate team-building experience without the flour-dusted clothes? Welcome to Steamed Dumplings 101!
For this class, we skipped the dough-making and used high-quality ready-made wrappers. This gave Karen’s team way more time to catch up, enjoy the vibe, and focus on the two most important things: mixing up our beautiful, organic farm-to-table fillings and mastering the art of the perfect pleat! There is always a lot of laughter when a team tries to fold their first dumpling (we saw some very creative shapes), but by the time these hit our bamboo steamers, everyone was a pro.

Huge cheers to our very first two graduates! 🎉✨

These two didn’t just take on my Modern Asian Masterclass — they smashed it! From the prep work to the final beautiful plates, they brought energy, passion, and so much fun into the kitchen.

Seeing everyone cooking, laughing, and creating together makes me so happy — this is what it’s all about. 🥂🍜💛

And thank you for bringing your friends along to my cooking classes too! The more people around the table, the more joy, stories, and delicious memories we get to share. ✨
