Chicago Feast by #cathaypacific Recap

11:33 AM

Last thursday Cathay Pacific hosted a lovely event to celebrate their daily flights from Chicago to Asia and I got the luck to attend and spend a fun evening there trying different types of asian food and some sips. Here are the pictures:

El Jueves pasado Cathay pacific organizó un evento para celebrar que ahora tienen vuelos de Chicago a Asia todos los días. Yo tuve la suerte de ir y les voy a enseñar unas fotos:

Every attendee was eligible to enter to a contest to win a two tickets to Hong Kong. Of course I entered to try my luck (fingers crossed!!)

Todos los invitados podian participar en el sorteo de dos boletos de avión para ir a Honk Kong, yo probe mi suerte, ya luego les cuento si gane.

They had a great selection of beer, wine and drinks.

Durante el evento hubo una gran variedad de vino, cervezas y bebidas preparadas.

From the stand of mixed drinks I tried one called Feeling sheepish made with chamomile- infused gin, ginger ale and lemon slices. Delicious!

Del puesto de bebidas preparadas probe una que se llama "feeling sheepish" que es una infusión de manzanilla y ginebra , ginger ale y limon. Estaba delicioso!

This place was crowded!! I had a hard time walking all over, but it was nice to see that everyone was having a lot of fun. I also met a lot of people!

Habia muchisima gente!! Costaba trabajo caminar por todos lados , pero al mismo tiempo todos estaban pasando un buen rato y eso me dio la oportunidad de conocer mucha gente.

Did you noticed the beautiful decoration on the ceiling? It added a chic and cozy feeling to the room .

Que les parece la decoración? Yo pienso que le dio el toque chic al lugar.

The highlight of the evening? THE FOOD! I can't even chose a favorite. Pictured above on the left there is The rendag sapi (slowly simmered caramelized beef curry, yellow coconut rice and sambia) the perfect combination between spice and sweet. On the right there is Tempeh (homemade organic soybean cakes).Both dishes are from Rickshaw republic restaurant.

Lo mejor de todo? La comida!!! No puedo escoger un favorito. En la foto de arriba estan unos platillos de el restaurante rickshaw republic. El de la izquierda era delicioso, se llama rendag sapi y es carne de res picante y dulce al mismo tiempo, delicioso!

This restaurant called sunda also has great food. I was obsessed with the thing in the spoon which is Seared wagyu tartare, lobster salad, cherry tomatoes, lobster oil and sweet soil. They also had sunda chicken bao buns and other delicious dish that I couldn't find the name on the little menu.

Y estos platillos de la foto de abajo son de un restaurante llamado Sunda, me encanto lo que estaba en las cucharitas, era una combinación de ternera con ensalada de salmón.

We found a little quiet terrace and we went there to enjoy our bao buns and drinks, and do a little blurry photoshoot of my outfit.

Encontramos una terrasita tranquila y fuimos ahí a disfrutar de unos bao buns y nuestras bebidas. También aprovechamos para tomar unas fotos de lo que me puse.
