CanCham offers surf and turf

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce will host a feast Saturday fit for kings, featuring the finest surf and turf the “Great White North” has to offer.

At its first annual Delicious Canada Spring Celebration, CanCham will host a formal dinner featuring Canadian beef and lobster.

A honey salad dressing and maple mousse will also be served to dazzle diners.

The first-class dinner will be accompanied with live entertainment by a jazz band and a traditional maritime-style band to bring the mood into full swing.

The chamber will also hold a prize raffle for participants, offering the chance to win a roundtrip ticket to Vancouver, a stay at the Oakwood Hotel and other Canadian fares.

“We’re very excited about this event because it offers the best of the best in Canadian cuisine,” said CanCham Chairman Don Mackenzie.

According to Agriculture and Agri-food Canada, lobster is exported to Korea in relatively high quantities to meet the increasing demand for live and whole cooked lobster and frozen lobster tail. Canadian lobster is popular in Korea because it keeps fresh and is low in mercury and lead levels.

The dinner will run from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Grand Hilton Hotel Seoul on Saturday. Tickets are available at 165,000 won for members and guests and 185,000 won for non-members. For more information, call (02) 554-0245 or e-mail info@canchamkorea.org.
