Kids Thai Cooking Class Melbourne
Looking for a fun, hands-on school holiday activity in Melbourne? BangPop Little Chefs is a colourful Thai cooking class for kids, where little food lovers roll, stir, taste and create their own dishes from scratch.
Hosted at BangPop in South Wharf, this interactive kids cooking class is all about real cooking, not just watching a demonstration. Children will make fresh spring rolls, create their own Nam Jim Gai sweet chilli dipping sauce, and cook Chicken & Pineapple Fried Rice using real wok techniques.
It’s the perfect school holiday experience for curious kids, birthday treats, family days out or young food lovers ready to try something new.
BangPop Little Chefs is all about getting kids involved in the kitchen in a fun, safe and engaging way.
Children will learn how to prepare fresh ingredients, build flavour, roll spring rolls, create their own dipping sauce and cook fried rice using real wok techniques. Along the way, they’ll discover new tastes, build confidence and enjoy a shared food experience with family and friends.
