SUMMARY:East Meets West Lunch – Nikkei Bar and Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:This month we go for Peruvian with a Japanese twist. We will be having a set menu with various entrees to share. Nikkei also offers a list of very interesting alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

It also specifically refers to the cuisine of the Japanese-Peruvians which started more than a century ago when the first Japanese immigrated to Peru in the late 1890s. Combining Japanese techniques and flavours with local Peruvian produce\, a diverse and unique cuisine was born. (Excerpts from Nikkeibarcom.au) \nNikkei is usually not open for lunch on a Thursday but they are opening it especially for our East Meets West Lunch on 6 April.

THIS WILL HELP THE ORGANISERS GREATLY. \nRSVP TO: Sue Roberts suejackharry@yahoo.com.au \nPlease do not pay until you have received a confirmation email from Sue. \nRSVP BY: Friday 31 March 2023 \nPAYMENT OPTIONS: \nPayment Option 1 (Preferred): By Credit Card through the Payments section of the website \nPayment Option 2: Online (direct deposit) into the SWIC bank account \nAccount Name: SWIC Inc. \nBSB No: 112-879 \nAccount No: 431-019-281 \nDescription: EMW + your initial and surname \nTRANSPORT: Nikkei is 750m walk from Central Train Station.

I hope you’ll all enjoy it. \nAfter a short welcome and introduction\, Kirana will have an interesting object/objects/flowers in the middle of the art studio and will show participants how to draw and or paint those\, depending on preference. This will be an abstract representation of this object and the participants can add as much or as little detail as they feel. \nIt doesn’t matter if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush\, this will be a fun 90 minutes. We’ll learn how to see light and shadow and expression through shapes and different colour schemes. \nAll participants will take a painting home. \nTea and biscuits will be offered.

SUMMARY:East Meets West Lunch – Amah by Ho Jiak Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:This month we go for Malaysian at Amah by Ho Jiak Restaurant at the Chatswood Interchange. Amah means grandmother in a few Chinese dialects. Amah’s Head Chef is Hun Loong who was the former Head Chef of Mr. Wong\, along with Executive Chef of Ho Jiak\, Junda Khoo\, bring flair and sophistication to home-style Malaysian cooking in an ode to Loong’s late grandmother – the sole reason for the restaurant’s inception. \nMalaysian food is a lot more than just Laksa. Malaysian cuisine is a result of historical migrations from many different countries. Malaysian citizens today consist of the ethnic groups Malay Bumiputera (67.4%)\, Chinese (24.6%)\, Indians (7.3%) and Others (0.7%). \nThe Malaysians are spoiled for a myriad of choices when they eat out. You might have been confused in the past when you had Malaysian dishes – why do they taste just like Chinese food\, sometimes totally Indian\, sometimes very similar to Indonesian (Malay Bumiputera)? They are all Malaysian. Each ethnic group has their own specialty – Hainanese Chicken Rice (Chinese)\, Roti Canai (Indian)\, Nasi Lemak (Malay Bumiputera) just to name a few better known dishes among the Australians. \nOh\, too much to talk about here\, you have to visit Malaysia to find out about it yourself or join us for this lunch. \nDATE: Thursday 2 March 2023 \nTIME: 12.00pm – 2.00pm \nVENUE: Kiosk 1&2\, The District\, Podium Level\, Chatswood Interchange\,\n436 Victoria Avenue\, Chatswood TEL: (02) 91704714 \nWebsite: https://www.hojiak.com.au/chatswood/ \nCOST: $96.00 (includes gratuity). You can order drinks but please bring cash to pay the organisers (i.e. Pauline\, Sue or Sandy) for the drinks that you order in case the restaurant does not want to split the bill.
