Hola mes petites amis.
We are organizing 2 foodie events during
the holidays and in the new semester. So here are a couple of things on
my agenda in today's email.
1) AFTER EXAMS
We are having a cooking class and this event is called Après l'Examen: Le Dessert
This activity features the recipes (in both French and English) of two French desserts (In Singaporean style!) and a demonstration with audience participation.
Time and Date: 15th May 2008, Thursday 3pm.
Venue to be
confirmed (rather, communally decided upon, we are very democratic.)(If
you think your house is very big, you can offer that too.)
Choice of dessert (we shall vote on this, and you can email me your suggestions!)
Think crêpes, truffles, tarte au fruits...
Fee: SGD $8 (inclusive of French, food, fun and recipes)
Depending on the turn out, we may also throw in a complementary treat of chocolate fondue ;)
Dateline to register by: 10th May 2008
Our second activity is
2) European Food Fiesta! This will be an event held on a
larger scale than most of our other activities. We are intending to put
together a food event comprising of delicacies from the continent (and
the gathered little islands next to it).
I will need your help in 2 ways:
i) We would like to gather your responses so that we know what to prepare for for such an event:
we would like to hit the 300 people mark, so please send it to all your
friends from NUS. Everyone counts (not just with their fingers! i heard
engineers can do mental calculation.)
ii) As this will be a rather large event, I would like to ask if anyone
will be interested in playing a part in this event. Of course there are
perks from it. We can't promise CCA points but for sure, helpers will
be credited with something. Keep in mind that this can help very much
when we run for elections in the next committee. ;) Not to mention
chocolates, food tasting and stuff. I need as much help as I can get
because we are talking about big things here.
posters, calling up sponsors, IRO, restaurants, putting together the
food guide, the mini food event before and so on. I promise you it will
be totally enriching. really really really.
So that's it for now. I hope to hear some pretty positive response from you guys!
