Two Filipino chefs prepared Adobo and Kare-kare at the renowned Oslo landmark, Theatercaféen.

Guests of the event included Norwegians and other nationalities, members of the Filipino community, and officers and staff of the Philippine Embassy in Oslo.

The Philippine Embassy in Oslo reported that the Theatercaféen gained new highlight to its restaurant after the Filipino culinary takeover, which ended with a resounding success.

Meanwhile, the Philippines was represented for the first time in the 61st Damascus International Fair held from August 28 to September 6 at the Damascus City Fairground.

The Philippine booth presented products such as dried mangoes, dried jackfruit, dried papaya, pili nuts, coffee, cocoa tableau, coco jam, peanut spread, canned goods and alcoholic beverages including beer, rhum, gin, lambanog (Filipino distilled palm liquor) and whisky.

The exhibit attracted more than 10,000 Syrian and foreign guests who were interested in the products displayed. Other visitors, however, inquired about Philippine tourism and studying in the Philippine universities.
