When it comes to celebration of any kind, it is definitely the most exciting one. And at KidZania it is even more exciting as this year 2019 marks their 7th year Anniversary in existence as the ultimate edutainment centre in Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur.


I brought my son over to KidZania over the weekend to finally get his KidZania PaZZport and be recognized as a Naturalized CitiZen, at the same time I wanted him to deposit his KidZos into the bank. Over there, we were entertained with performances by KidZania talent crew and also the lovely birthday cake that has a number "7" placed over it.


It was really crowded too! Lots of kids joined in on the fun, whilst my son was a little shy at the beginning and he preferred to stay upstairs to have a bird's eye view of the whole event taking place downstairs.


It was also our first time meeting all the KidZania characters Urbano, Vita, Beebop, Chika, Bekha and Bache! The children at KidZania today definitely had fun, especially with the bubbles and balloons, as it was held infront of the Banana Theatre entrance.


The best part about the celebration is that, it is a month long celebration where all children can surely enjoy fun activities and games lined-up in celebration of the 7th Anniversary. Come to think of it, 7 years is truly a long time they've been around, I remember dreaming about coming to KidZania one day when I have my own kids and 7 years later I am here today with my eldest son that is finally of age (5 years old) to take part in the activities as he learn and gain new experience and exposures to real-life professions that remains today as a truly educational fun experience worth experiencing.


I also registered for the KidZania paZZport today because as members of the B.KidZanian loyalty programme called "CitiZens", your child could actually stand a chance to win some premium goods from KidZania Kuala Lumpur's industrial partners too; Such as Vitagen, F&N, Mission Foods and Emborg whom joined in on the celebration as well by offering CitiZen premium goods when they complete exciting challenges set up infornt of the Banana Theatre and take turns turning the "Wheel of Fortune" to see what prize they could get!


My son enjoyed himself today at his favourite job since he first came to KidZania; Canon photography. This time he was tasked to take the camera out on the field to capture an image of a venue where there were lights, music and where people perform like on centre stage. So my son just simply captured a nice shot of Banana Theatre, but he got it right at first attempt. When I look back at his first photo taken at Canon when he first came to KidZania and 1 year later today, he definitely grown so much.

Overall, I'll definitely be back again as my son is slowly warming up to this edutainment centre, where he learns the value of work life and spending or making KidZos money while being here. He also wants to buy the Crab Claw Stick Toy from KidZania Department Toy Store that is 300, so I told him to work harder and save up for it.


Today they even had new activities for their 7th Anniversary celebration such as :
- Making your own Bubble ArtZ
- Bubble Wand
- Faber-Castell Colouring Contest at the National Store


However, by noon my son misses his little brother and his father and wanted to head home after working at Brother's learning how to sew, Canon photography and Umobile Customer Service where he perfectly assembles the mobile phone battery, sim card and back cover properly without difficulties (and I never taught him that because he never used a smartphone or tablet in his life, atleast not so soon). So we headed back home with a big smile! He enjoyed himself nonetheless and I knew he was happy because today was like his special "ME" time with mommy only as we both "Learn Life Today" visiting the City of KidZania together.

Today at DaMen Mall USJ, the first ever Largest Culinary Competition was held by Smart Junior Chef for kids in Malaysia.


Incase you are unaware, Smart Junior Chef is a fun place to let your kids learn and be explosed to baking and cooking where they explore their hidden talents and find interests in the kitchen. It's basically a place where your kids learn baking from scratch!

This competition held today, is an annual event held to showcase the pure and raw baking and cooking talent in the children participating today and how they build their creativeness on food. Smart Junior Chef creates recipes that is fun to learn together with the chefs. Not only that, they make it so simple when teaching the children to bake or cook with their recipe and it truly educates the child to take up this life skill and make it more fun by being creative, artistic and even sometimes magical!

Smart Junior Chef works towards their goal to inspire these children to acknowledge and improve their talents, learn to understand their responsibility and be independent, which helps in boosting self-esteem in these children whilst enabling a healthy learning environment for the children to be creative, self-discipline, work independently or work together as a team and to be patient.


Through cooking, a child can learn the different ingredients, shapes, sizes, colours, textures and portions needed and even taste! So it can be a really fun thing to do and rewarding when they have the opportunity to learn the taste, feel and small of their very own cooking. Hence, Smart Junior Chef aims to influence and inspire children from a very young age of 4 years onwards to be creative and explore their hidden potential in the kitchen.


My son's first trial class at Smart Junior Chef Bandar Kinrara [you can read here] really made a difference in his life and it piqued his interest in cooking in the kitchen with me everyday since then.
I remember that he learns to bake from scratch for the first time which made him truly enjoy the journey. There were no shortcuts to baking for my son because Smart Junior Chef believes that it's good to allow the child to do it by their own self and learn from scratch as there are no shortcuts nor ready-made recipe available. It is a fun and time-rewarding process that teaches basic skills and educational at the same time too.


It is a valuable lesson to have your kids learn as this is a life-long skill by learning to bake and cook. Smart Junior Chef has 3 branches in Klang Valley, Selangor and this would be the perfect time to expose your kids to wonderful culinary skills in their life.
