Looking for a family-friendly activity that goes beyond the usual mall outings or digital distractions? PastaMania Singapore, in collaboration with Ayam Brand, has rolled out something delightfully hands-on and wholesome—the Doughworkz Family Cooking Workshop, happening this May and June 2025. This isn’t just another cookie-cutter workshop—it’s an enriching, laughter-filled session where families can bond, create, and savour the joy of cooking a full meal together.
Here’s why this is more than worth pencilling into your family calendar and why those looking for valuable experiences—especially parents—shouldn’t miss out.
Why Should Families Join This?
Let’s face it—finding quality bonding time with children amid packed schedules isn’t always easy. Between school, work, tuition, and devices, family time sometimes slips into just eating together, at best. PastaMania’s Doughworkz workshop offers a refreshing alternative. Rather than passively watching a screen, parents and kids actively cook together, rolling up their sleeves and diving into flour, sauces, and delicious ingredients.
Not only is this a fun diversion, but it’s also a valuable learning experience. Children aged 6 and up will be guided through the steps of making a three-course meal—that’s right, a proper appetiser, a hearty main, and a drink—all from scratch. It teaches responsibility, encourages teamwork, and instils a sense of achievement. These are real-life skills that go beyond the kitchen.
But perhaps most importantly, it creates shared memories. Imagine the smiles as a child stirs their very first pasta sauce or carefully layers a dish they’ll soon devour with pride. These are the small moments that grow into cherished family stories.
What Makes This Workshop Special?
There are cooking classes, and then there’s Doughworkz.
This programme isn’t a mere demonstration—it’s fully interactive. Participants work in pairs, usually one adult and one child, so there’s close teamwork from start to finish. If you’re worried about being left behind in a sea of instructions, don’t be. The classes are well-paced, with friendly guidance, and designed especially for family dynamics. Plus, Ayam Brand’s collaboration adds a nutritional angle, introducing quality ingredients and responsible food choices into the mix.
The setting is also family-friendly. The workshops are held at Sengkang ActiveSG and City Square Mall—two accessible venues with ample space, great ambience, and nearby amenities. While the kids (and parents) knead and stir away indoors, other family members can explore the nearby attractions or simply enjoy a cup of coffee while they wait.
At $100 per pair (1 adult + 1 child), it’s priced very reasonably for a full cooking session and all the ingredients needed for a three-course meal. Got an extra child or adult keen to join? No problem. Additional participants are welcome at just $40 per head.
The small group sizes also mean more hands-on guidance and a comfortable, personal learning pace—no crowded classrooms or rushed instructions here.
Not Just a Workshop—It’s a Tasty Day Out
Planning meaningful activities during the school holidays can be a challenge. Doughworkz solves that elegantly. It’s a holiday event that checks all the right boxes—fun, engaging, educational, and inclusive. It’s not limited to mums and daughters or dads and sons—everyone is welcome, and the workshop provides a nurturing, casual space where families from all walks of life can mingle, collaborate, and bond.
Besides, children often eat more enthusiastically when they’re involved in making the meal themselves. If you’ve ever struggled with a fussy eater, this could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Being a chef for the day is a brilliant way to encourage adventurous palates and healthy eating habits.
Even better, there’s no washing up to worry about afterward. That’s a big win for parents.
Limited Slots—Don’t Miss Out
Due to the hands-on nature of the sessions and the emphasis on personalised instruction, the number of participants per workshop is intentionally kept low. This means that while the experience is enriching and enjoyable, it’s also in high demand—and slots are filling up fast.
To avoid disappointment, it’s best to register early via the official PastaMania Singapore link here. All the workshop dates, times, and venue-specific details are clearly laid out, making sign-up a breeze.
Whether it’s a first-time bonding experience for younger kids or a unique activity for older children who want to explore their culinary side, this workshop delivers. It’s one of those rare finds in Singapore’s busy events calendar that promises quality time and a plateful of fun.
Perfect for School Holidays & Weekend Adventures
What better way to spend a holiday morning or afternoon than learning a new skill with your child? For families who prefer doing something meaningful rather than just shopping or lounging around during the school holidays, this is the ideal pick. It’s just the right mix of creativity, cooperation, and culinary delight. Plus, the children walk away not only with full bellies but also a sense of accomplishment and new kitchen confidence.
Even if you’ve never touched a frying pan in your life, don’t worry—the sessions are designed for complete beginners. It’s not about perfection, it’s about participation. And it’s the effort, laughter, and teamwork that make the workshop so memorable.
Final Thoughts
PastaMania’s Doughworkz Family Workshop is a rare gem in the cluttered world of children’s activities—combining fun, food, and family bonding into a single, delightful session. With Ayam Brand adding a nutritional twist, and PastaMania’s approachable, cheerful hosting style, this event is the perfect excuse to take a break from routine and spend genuine quality time with the little ones.
So if you’re looking for something that the whole family will enjoy—and talk about long after the day is done—this is definitely it. Great memories are made around the table, but they begin in the kitchen.
Make this school break extra special. Sign up for Doughworkz before all the slots are snapped up.
