Kenyan Kitchen

RIINK

Get ready for a taste of Kenya! RIINK & Q-Kreatives present Tupatane Jikoni this Saturday at Shankang Li.

Meaning "let's meet in the kitchen" in Kiswahili, this event invites foodies to gather, share, and savor authentic flavors from the Kenyan kitchen.

Dive into dishes like flaky chapati, fresh kachumbari, hearty mokimo, and the famous Kikuyu stew.

But it's more than a meal—it's a cultural experience! Enjoy a Kenyan pop-up market, music, and a vibrant party atmosphere.

Tupatane jikoni!

Let's meet at the kitchen!

The Taste of Thailand

Homeslice Kitchen

Rounding out the Shankang Li foodie weekend is Homeslice Kitchen, with a bash that both launches Joey Cheong’s Pork Pad Krapao Pizza and sees the return of Homeslice's beloved Thai Fried Chicken.

There will also be drinks specials and funky rhythms from Thailand’s Northeast.

Pork Pad Krapao is the Guest Chef Pizza by Joey Cheong of Noodle Uncle, and has flavorful pork mince and crunchy green beans, cooked with basil, chili and garlic.

Beaten egg goes on top of a white garlic base, and the whole thing is finished with fresh Thai basil.

Pleasantly spicy, fragrant and unmistakably Thai—don’t miss it!

Seeking out chicken wings is a high priority on trips to Thailand. The best is always a simple operation—usually a cart parked up by the side of the road—and when they are sold out, they are sold out.

In that spirit, Homeslice Kitchen will be making a big batch of chicken wings for the party this Sunday—but when they’re sold out, that’s it. So come early!
