For the fourth year in a row, NordCham Philippines, in partnership with Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel and the Philippine Norway Business Council, is hosting Asia’s Biggest Viking Party for a Cause to benefit the Chosen Children Village.
Scheduled for September 14, 2019, Crayfish Party Manila promises to be another fun-filled celebration featuring Nordic delicacies and beverages. The Sofitel Garden Harbot Tent will be decorated in the Viking tradition and guests are encouraged to come in their best Viking attire.
As expected, Crayfish will be the highlight of the party menu and it will be flown especially from Norway for this event. Other mouthwatering dishes that will be served include Cod & Salmon Sailor’s Stew, Swedish Meatballs and Cured Herring Potato Salad.
To add merriment to this event, there will be a number of games and raffles during the party.
The history of the Crayfish Party
Eating Crayfish dates back to the reign of the Swedish King Erik XIV in the 16th century. It was said that the king farmed crayfish at the moat of his castle and these were served at a feast to celebrate the end of summer in Nordic countries, which is usually in August.
Selected youth from CCV attended the press conferences for the party. Isabel, Pinky and Charlie, represented the foundation on July 23rd, while Michael, Niño and Dave attended the July 25th launch.
Crayfish Party Manila has raised PHP 1.4 million for the benefit of the CCV over the last four years. To find out more about this party and how you can get your tickets, check out their Facebook
