Moments From the Event 📷🎊

From the satisfying crunch of homemade tanghulu 🍡 to the delicious aroma of fresh dumplings 🥢🥟, the event was filled with fun hands-on experiences. Participants carefully skewered and coated tanghulu with Eileen, got to fold dumplings under the guidance of Harrison and Ryan, and engaged in making crafts with Tammy 🎨. Here are some photos taken by our very own Alanna!

While the event was a fantastic success, we’re always looking for ways to improve. One key takeaway was the importance of shortening the overall event duration and arranging activities closer together to keep engagement high and energy levels up. Next time, we’ll optimize the schedule to create an even more dynamic and enjoyable experience for everyone.
