Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

Farmer's Market : Yokohama Marche

I had recently spotted an interesting activity from Spurbox and wanted to give Ethan as a surprise. Turned out the entire session was kind of fun. 


Do note that your children have to wash their hands clean before the start of any activity.


First activity we went to was making of sushi swiss roll. We were told to re-arrange a piece of swiss roll cake to make it into a sushi. Really cool.


After Ethan cut the swiss roll cake into pieces, he squeezed some whipped cream on top of it. He then sprinkled some shredded coconut to replace rice grains on the sushi.


Next, Ethan rolled a piece of black colour fondant to replace the seaweed. In case you do not know what a fondant is, it is actually kind of like a marshmallow. 


The fish roes were replaced by sagos. The tamago (egg) and ebi (prawn) were replaced with yellow and orange colours fondant. How creative it is, isn't it?


Second activity was decorating of ramen cupcakes. 


All Ethan had to do was to decorate two chocolate cupcakes with yellow whipped cream. The brown, white, pink, and yellow fondant were turned into meat, egg and fish cake. Ethan was given a plain pocky stick as a substitute for chopsticks.


The last activity was making of fish soap but must be with the help of parents. While Ethan decorated some paints on the fish mould, I poured in the hot melting soap. Once all cooled down, we packed up the lovely soaps home.


Once we had completed all three activities, we were given ten tokens which could be redeemed for either desserts or games.


We gobbled up all of the sushis, cupcakes and treats won from the games. Even if we did not win any prizes, at the end of the day it was about having fun.
