May 13, 2016

From the Desk of your PCA Team ....
It is nearly 15 days before the end of the school year. Things are coming to a close. We are saying goodbye to friends whom we will see in their respective countries.  A bittersweet time to spend with our friends.  Many will come back next year, for which we are making plans to meet with and things to do with each. 

PCA Ball 
Last week was the end of much of the PCA Events for the calendar year.  We had the PCA Ball on the 7th.  A wonderful time was had by all at the PCA Ball.  We hope that all of you had an excellent time.  We won't spoil your surprise.

Korean Cooking Demo 
The final activity we had was the Korean Cooking demo.  The Demo was held at the Park Hyatt on the 12th of May.  Chef Greg, was excellent to give us a wonderful cooking demonstration.   We first made Persimmon punch. He was able to spice up the punch with some apples. What a taste!  The pumpkin soup was next on the agenda.  As we made the soup, one of the parents who has come to many of the demos commented that this is now the third preparation of  pumpkin soup that is quite different from the other preparations we have learned in different demos.  Then we made the preparation for Kimchi.  The Kimchi
was made a particular manner that Chef Greg was used to, which is different to what many of our parents make. Then JJ and Genie stepped in to explain to us how to make it differently.  The last three items we made were the seafood pancake, Bibimbap and crispy chilli chicken.   Yum!  For photographs of the event, please click on this sentence. 

For parents who would like to know more how to make these dishes, Genie was kind to send me You Tube links for all the foods.

Also, many parents asked for the location of a Korean store in/outside of Chennai where we can get multiple items.  The below link is for Seol Store

A Big Thanks
We are so thankful as a team to all the parents who have helped to make this activity a success this year. You have given of your time for working with our partner chefs to tailor a menu that is able to be eaten by all.  Making vegetarian dishes for may cuisines, is a challenge. Thus, we thankful that you were able to cater to all palettes. 

Signing off for this week.......
