Every month our village administration put on a dinner for the residents. Each dinner has a different theme. This month it was a Japanese dinner. The reason being a group of villagers went to Japan for a short holiday. We didn't go because we had been before. Anyway the chef cooked two lovely dishes for an alternate drop. There are 80 people for dinner.
For dinner we had MISO SALMON on SHIRATAKI NOODLES with FINE VEGETABLES. TERIYAKI CHICKEN BREAST & RAMEN.GREEN TEA CAKE with YOGURT WASABI ICE CREAM, SWEET MANGO AND FRUIT COMPOTE for dessert.
We had a Japanese guest speaker and a demonstration on how to wear a yukata and obi. CEO and two staff members were the models and two residents volunteered to help by following the expert's instruction.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I like the fact that the theme had a link to a trip that residents had taken. The food looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, you do have fun there, don't you? The food looks delicious, beautifully presented (and photographed!)

What a fun event. The food looks wonderful and so do all the friends to share it.
ReplyDeleteYou do have such fun events where you live, Diane. Unfortunately, the apartment facility we live in doesn’t have any community event exceot at the holidays.
ReplyDeleteIt looks such healthy food and I'm sure was delicious. A lot of effort was put into the fun dinner and the ladies look beautiful in their summer kimonos.
ReplyDeletethat looks like so much fun, and the kimonos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun event... great way for the travelers to share what they saw and learned .... Food looks delicious.. Christmas in July (in the post above) looked a good opportunity to get together for a nice meal and some laughs, although I agree with you that one Christmas a year ought to be enough, no matter what the season.
