Inside Silver Strings’ AJI‑SHIO Parent‑Child Cooking Workshop

Everyone knows that cooking brings people together, which is why our cooking workshops are always fully booked. In mid‑June, we partnered with AJI‑SHIO® to deliver a Parents’ Day Cooking Workshop at TCH Foodworks, attracting 20 parent‑child pairs eager to learn, laugh and connect through cooking.

From the outset, our team focused on clear goals, aiming to educate participants on how to incorporate AJI‑SHIO® into everyday cooking and to demonstrate how simple ingredients can produce delicious results. Under the guidance of Chef Collin, families rotated through three hands-on stations: Japanese Hamburger Rice Bowl, Chawanmushi, and Cheesy Japanese Croquette - each recipe designed to highlight product versatility and streamline meal preparation.

Beyond the kitchen, we wove in creative breaks that deepened engagement. Upon arrival, every duo posed for a Polaroid portrait against a themed backdrop. Instant prints served as keepsakes and set a warm, playful tone. In the “Wall of Faces” activity, parents and children sketched caricatures of one another, sparking laughter and turning simple drawings into personalised artwork. These customised icebreakers helped create an engaging environment that’s fun and stimulating, perfect for keeping the children active and interested.

As the participants dived into each dish, our team members ensured that the ingredients were prepped and the stations ran on schedule, showcasing our meticulous logistics planning and on‑site coordination. Once the final croquette hit the plate, participants shared a group photo, celebrated their creations, and collected goodie bags filled with AJI‑SHIO® samples and branded mementos.

This workshop exemplifies Silver Strings’ commitment to professional event planning and management. Our seamless collaboration with both the brand and the venue covered everything from venue layout to participant flow, resulting in an unforgettable afternoon that combined culinary discovery and family bonding, proof that well‑executed events leave a powerful positive impression.

Whether you’re planning a product launch, a brand activation or a community‑focused workshop, Silver Strings’ experience in end‑to‑end event planning and management ensures that your vision becomes reality.
