Well here it is! After 50Kg flour, 480 Eggs, 25Kg Sugar, 10Kg Butter, 10Lt Cream, 3Kg Coconut, several pints of blood, a bucket of sweat and even a few tears, our 10ft long Olympic running track cake was finally completed and was the finishing touch to our Olympic themed dinner.
We keep setting ourselves new challenges with our theme nights, always endeavoring to give our customers something new and interesting to look at when they come to the dining hall. This time it was particularly challenging as the the only ex-pat chefs here are myself and Murthy so we needed our Angolan colleagues to really step up this time around and they didn't let us down!
The whole team worked their socks off and both the day shift and night shift deserve massive praise for all their hard work. In particular Fernando Angelina who made all the sponges and helped Murthy and I put the monster cake together. Also Antonio Casimiro, Marthinho Domingos, Helena Nuzi Samo and Antonio Capita who all came in on their time off to assist with the preparations.

We even had some external input for this dinner with Cheg-chai from the Warehouse team making an authentic Thai Noodle Soup which was absolutely delicious.
Its beer o'clock here now in Malongo so I will add more photos tomorrow!
