An inter-house Thai Cuisine competition was conducted in Chiranjiv Bharati School, Palam Vihar Gurgaon on 12 August 2011 as a part of celebration of International day of Thailand to enable the students to appreciate and value the diversity of cultures and traditions.
In Thailand, 12th August is celebrated as the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. As the Queen is also regarded as mother to all Thai people, this day is also celebrated as Mother’s Day. On this day, white jasmine flowers are a common sight in Thailand as they are the symbol of maternal love. The white color of the flower symbolizes purity of mother’s true love, which will never change.
The students of each house prepared one main dish of Thai Cuisine. The recipe included traditional herbs and spices. The aroma of spices and flavours of Thai herbs filled the entire atmosphere creating a festive mood among the participants. The mouth watering dishes prepared by the students were served in traditional Thai style.
The dishes cooked were judged on the basis of authenticity of the taste & flavour, table layout and overall presentation.
One student from each house was dressed up in traditional Thai costume to give a Thai ambience to the entire event.
May I wish all mothers in Thailand a very Happy Mother’s Day and Long Live the Queen!!!
