KUCHING: The Society for Critically Sick Children (S.O.S Kids) hosted over 30 individuals to a fundraiser called “Eat For A Purpose” at Ocho by Kyujin on Thursday.
The event, the first of many, aimed to raise RM200,000 in conjunction with the society’s 10th anniversary.
Every plate was curated based on the children’s wishes and backgrounds. All proceeds will be donated to S.O.S kids who are in need of medical equipment, daily necessities and a better living environment.
The meals prepared by Chef Achang Libat and his team were locally produced with a Western twist, priced at RM300 per pax.
The entrees were Poached rice in kasam ensabi consomme and Crispy butter prawns, which served as an introductory option as guests began their eating journey while keeping the children in mind.
As the evening went on and guests began to socialise, two main dishes were waiting by the kitchen counter. First was Tilapia pansuh ravioli with pansuh carbonara, bamboo shoots and tapioca leaves puree.
This meal was meant for the younger generation as they were more familiar with Western cuisines. This course ingeniously combined Western and native flavours.
At the request of the children, the next main dish was Crispy fried chicken chop roulade with grilled vegetables and reduction of grapes, followed by a palate cleanser – chrysanthemum tea and lychee granita.
To top off the evening, the more than 30 guests and individuals were spoilt by a mouth watering dessert — a liquid nitrogen ice cream with chocolate truffles, chocolate wafer stick, vanilla sponge cake and gula apong meringue.
“Eat For A Purpose” at Ocho by Kyujin continued yesterday. It will be on again today, tomorrow and on September 8 to 10.
