East
and West: Just Ducky! Cooking Class at the Shangri-La
Executive Chef Jek Tan is planning this class with a focus
on duck dishes. Duck is a rich, succulent meat that is one
of the most delicious types of poultry. He will include
Duck ala Orange, Peking Duck Pizza and Duck Confit in this
class. Ever wondered what the differences are between duck
and goose livers? Chef Jek has the answer! Participants
will receive a discount to be used the day of the cooking
class in the i Cafe, Shang Palace or Nishimura Restaurants.
Costs: RMB100 for ICD members; RMB120 for non-members.
9:45, October 21, Shangri-La Hotel RSVP: activities@icdalian.com
with "Cooking Class" in the subject line.
Business
Networking Group
The ICD schedule for the next three months is packed with
events which should keep everyone busy throughout the holiday
period. Halloween at the Nikko, birthday bashes (no names
yet, it's a surprise), the ICD Pulandian School Charity
Fundraiser, Christmas coming up, and quite a few social
happenings interspersed. Due to the crowded schedule we'd
like to move the ICD Business Networking Friday get-togethers
to one week earlier for the next three months (October -
December). That would be October 24, so we don't conflict
with the Halloween parties, then November 21 to miss the
parties, and December 19 to give people something to do
before Christmas. 6pm, October 24, 8th floor Pub of the
Swissotel RSVP: business@icdalian.com |
