About the event
Makan Kakis Club – A Cozy Food Adventure for Families!
🥢🍜 A small, cozy gathering where food, fun, and friendships come together!
The Makan Kakis Club isn’t just another cooking workshop—it’s a community experience where kids and families can connect, play, and share meals in a warm, friendly setting.
Each session explores a different part of Singapore’s rich food culture through hands-on activities, nostalgic games, and shared meals. Unlike our larger events, this is a smaller-scale, cozy experience designed to encourage conversation, bonding, and new friendships.
💡 This is a recurring workshop series! Each session features a different food theme with unique activities, so you can join multiple sessions and experience something new every time!
Every Workshop starts with an Intro (usually a story), then we go into cooking, and crafting and enjoying our food of labour together. 🤩
