Brush Up On Kids’ Cooking Skill At KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s KidZ vs Food 3.0 This School Holidays!



Happy school holidays kids! Cooking is a skill to survive in life. Glad that KidZania’s CongreZZ kids cooked up a storm today as they prepared a banquet for the children of *Hilla Community Centre, marking the launch of KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s KidZ vs Food 3.0


This holiday programme from 24 November to 31 December is specially curated for kids, with daily and weekend activities that show children how to work with and appreciate food.


Now in its third year, the launch event treated children from the Centre to a meal of Turmeric Chicken and Long Beans served with rice, and Banana Chocolate Rolls for dessert, all prepared and served by CongreZZ kids with the help of professional chef ‘Abang’ Brian from the Young Chefs Academy (YCA). It is a fun hands on session with the Chefs!
  

“The ability to cook and feed ourselves, as well as others, builds confidence and gives us a sense of accomplishment - these are important lessons for children that can be applied to many situations. The teamwork exhibited by the CongreZZ kids to prepare this meal is an inspiring look at what it means to ‘Learn Life Today’, and demonstrates yet another learning experience, which is expressing kindness for those in need,” said Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur.
