Parents and kids bonded over food at the recent Young Parents Fun Family Cooking Workshop 2017.
A love of food unites all Singaporeans, so what better way to bond with your kids than making a meal together?
With that aim in mind, Young Parents held its Fun Family Cooking Workshop 2017 on Dec 8 last year at ToTT in Dunearn Road. Here are some of the highlights. Look out for more exciting family events from YP this year!
Our Main Sponsors
OKOME
Cultivated in the US, this premium shortgrain rice tastes like rice grown in Japan – it is moist, chewy and sticky when cooked.
Okome Shortgrain Rice is celebrated for its succulent and soft texture, and works well with Asian cuisines, from Japanese to Korean to Taiwanese dishes.
Its reasonable price tag means families can easily prepare bento boxes for their loved ones within an affordable budget. Okome is available at all major supermarkets in 1kg, 4.5kg and 5kg packs.
MOUNT ALVERNIA HOSPITAL
This Catholic-based acute care hospital has both maternity and medical surgical practicing specialists on its campus. Established in 1961, the not-for-profit hospital is supported by more than 1,200 specialists covering about 28 specialities. Its outreach medical clinic serves over 70 communities in Singapore.
Time To Get One
Flik Flak’s new C’est Chic collection for kids pairs well with Chinese New Year outfits and looks good all year round. Daisy Bee features happy honeybees and “love me, love me not” daisies on a pink background, while Scott’n’Terry (pictured) is all about canine cuties. Part of the Swatch group, Flik Flak offers watches that are Swiss-made, shock-resistant and come with machine-washable textile straps. Prices unavailable at press time.

Blend And Glow
Fans of Korean beauty brand Laneige will want to get their hands on its new Two Tone Correcting Bar and Two Tone Contouring Bar. Lightweight and comfortable on skin, they feature a unique two-colour combination that you can easily apply to conceal flaws, even out skin tone, and contour.
There are four correcting shades and two contouring ones. Get them for $38 each from Feb 2 at Laneige boutiques and counters, Lazada Singapore and Zalora Singapore. Visit www.laneige.com/sg/en.
Tooth Be Told
Here’s why you should take care of your child’s milk teeth – if they drop out prematurely because of decay, she could get crooked or overcrowded teeth, and it may even affect her speech development.
Help your little one develop good oral hygiene with Kodomo’s Soft & Slim children’s toothbrush ($2.55), which is gentle on young gums while removing food and plaque effectively. Its sugar-free children’s toothpaste ($2.60 for 80g) prevents cavities and protects tooth enamel. Choose from four fruity flavours. Check out the range at leading supermarkets. Visit www.lioncorp.com.sg.
See The Benefits
Give your tired eyes a “power nap” with The Body Shop’s Drops of Youth Youth Bouncy Eye Mask ($39.90). It’s infused with three powerful types of plant stem cells and cucumber extract, and its memoryshape texture blends into skin without feeling sticky. The Drops of Youth range also adds a new Gentle Foaming Wash ($26.90) this year. Visit www.thebodyshop.com/en-sg for outlets or buy online.
