📍 The Joyful Place

Part of our World of Wonders (WOW) school holiday series, this hands-on 2-day camp invites children to explore global cultures through food, stories and play — no passport required.

Jom! This time, we’re heading to Malaysia.

Across two days, children will explore Malaysia’s much-loved street-food culture while discovering the art and childhood games generations of Malaysian children have grown up with.

They’ll make their own Malaysian street burger, learn how to “tarik” their Milo, build a refreshing Penang cendol and eventually work together to run their own Malaysian street-food stall.

🌟 What children will do

DAY 1 – Learn & Explore

Discover Malaysia and its diverse street-food culture

• Make Burger Ramly (Ramly-style Malaysian Street Burger) for lunch

• Learn about Teh Tarik (Pulled Tea) and mamak culture before making their own kid-friendly Milo Tarik (Pulled Milo)

• Discover the Wau Bulan (Moon Kite) and create their own decorative wau-inspired artwork

• Play childhood favourites including Batu Seremban (Five Stones), Congkak (Traditional Mancala Game) and Lompat Getah (Rubber-Band Jumping)

• Explore simple Malay words and phrases along the way

DAY 2 – Create & Own

• Make Penang Cendol (green jellies with coconut milk and gula melaka (palm sugar))

• Revisit savoury cooking with more independence

• Recap more childhood games

• Take on a Milo Tarik challenge

• Work in teams to create and run their own Malaysian street-food stall

🧺 What to bring

Day 1: Please pack a snack and fruit box and a labelled drink bottle for your child. Lunch is prepared as part of the program.

Day 2: Please pack a light lunch and fruits and a labelled drink bottle for your child. As the recipe they are making in the morning will be sweet, some kids prefer to have a savoury option for lunch, they can have the morning dessert for afternoon tea.
