Eurasian Festival by The Eurasian Association
The Eurasian Association (EA) was set up in 1919 to serve the interests of the Eurasian community in Singapore. It aims to obtain closer ties as well as to promote a better understanding of Eurasians to the other ethnic groups and nationalities in Singapore. The Eurasian Festival was organised and supported by the Peoples Association, and was held at the West Coast Community Club. I was glad to have attended the festival and to experience Eurasian Culture!
There was a specially curated Eurasian cultural exhibition outside
the community hall.
Inside the multi-purpose hall, a
line-up of performances and activities was going on. There were also
booths selling crafts and Eurasian Souvenirs.
Chewy and I had fun dressing up in traditional Portuguese Eurasian costumes at the photo booth to take some photos.
Christmas is always an important festival for Eurasians!
Mr S Iswaran, Minister
for Communications and Information, Minister-In-Charge of Trade Relations, and
Adviser to West Coast GROs was there to
grace the event as the Guest-of-Honour. Minister Iswaran is also the Minister
representing the Eurasian Community in the cabinet.
The Eurasian kitchen is the birthplace of fusion
food. It is an exotic blend of East and West cuisines! Eurasian cuisine is a glorious mix
of Asian and European flavors. Quentin serves delectable and best Eurasian Food
which is handed down through the generations.
We were treated to a sumptuous
buffet dinner by Quentin. We got to savor some traditional Eurasian staple foods, and they were really delicious!
Thanks for the invite, and we
really enjoyed and immersed ourselves in this Eurasian celebration!
