Make every family dinner
an event! Making dinner as a family
can become a fun activity for all to
get involved.
Tips for making dinner special for everyone:
Set aside one night a week when all family members are present.
- Spend time brainstorming the menu. Make sure everyone gives their input.
- Invite the whole family to come to dinner dressed in Asian style.
- Set the table with Asian decorations such as leis, and use bowls of water with floating flowers as centerpieces.
- Create lively dinner discussions by asking open-ended questions. Topics ranging from school and work to Asian trivia can be discussed.
- Cleanup is part of the meal! Get the whole family involved and excited by turning on some Asian background music.
Keep the theme going
Just because dinner is over doesn’t mean that family fun time has to end. Some ways to keep the night going include:
- Rent an Asian-themed movie and settle in with a great dessert (Go Bananas with our Toffee Banana dessert).
- Dream together about taking a trip to Asia. How many landmarks and sites can you name that you’d like to visit?
- Sip an evening pineapple smoothie from hollowed out pineapples or coconuts.
- Begin planning your next family night in! Why not plan on making every Friday an “It’s Asian Tonight” night? Switch your routine pizza for Kahiki restaurant quality Asian cuisine ... And a party’s always waiting for you!
