Honoured to be invited to SBS Cantonese today for an interview sharing the story and inspiration behind our café
It was a pleasure to talk about how the idea began, and my passion for preserving language and culture through community, connection, and family experiences.

“Starting something new 🍂
Origami Adventure is about capturing the little adventures we experience as a family—like this autumn day in the Yarra Valley.
This is just the beginning.”

POV: when your kid takes party setup very seriously 😆
Valerie helped prepare the party table and even learned a hospitality trick — pulling the forks from the bottom so the fork tips stay clean.

Origami Play Cafe will be closed for General Play from 16 March – 7 April as our family takes a brief holiday and we do a small operational reset behind the scenes.
We will reopen on 8 April refreshed and ready for more play, coffee and smiles 🤍
🎉 Private parties are still available during this time.

🎉 Mascot Name Reveal! 🐰🦊
Thank you to everyone who joined our mascot name guessing game — both in-store and on social media! We loved reading all the creative and thoughtful guesses.
And now… meet our mascots!
🐰 Ori – the calm and gentle bunny
🦊 Gami – the curious and cheeky fox
Together their names form Ori + Gami = Origami, just like our cafe name.
The names were inspired by origami, the beautiful Japanese art of paper folding — representing creativity, imagination and playful discovery, which is exactly what we hope families experience at Origami Play Cafe.
✨ Winner Announcement ✨
🥇 1st Prize – $500 Party Credits
Congratulations to Victoria () who was the first to correctly guess both of our mascots’ names! 🎉 Amazing!
🥈 Special Prize – $250 Party Credits
Our second prize was originally for guessing one mascot name correctly. Since no one guessed exactly one name, we’ve decided to award it to the most creative guess.
A special shoutout to Melinda (.conn) for her thoughtful guess “Asobu and Tanoshi”, meaning play and fun in Japanese — such a beautiful connection to our cafe! 💛
Thank you again to everyone who participated. We loved seeing all your guesses and support.
Keep an eye out… Ori & Gami will be popping up around the cafe very soon! ✨
