May Tiffin Club

The April Tiffin was a sellout - thank you to the person who could not come for paying your share!!

Chef Rajesh at Aqua (the Park Hotel) showed us several delicious recipes from the Aqua menu. Our lunch after was a sampling of those same dishes. Scrumptious!!

The May Tiffin will be on 16th May and we are visiting the Taj Flight Kitchens which prepare and supply teh meals to many fo the flights we all take out of Chennai airport.

This event is open to all OWC members not just Tiffin Club members and the limit is 30 ladies. Please sign up be sending me an email as soon as you can. We are opening this event to AISC parents too, so feel free to pass information along.

There is no charge for the event, but there may be a small contribution towards the cost of the transport - it will be easier for us all to take a bus out there together so the event can start on time and the tour can be conducted for all of us as once.

We are supposed to be there by 10-10.30 am and all other details will be sent to you when you book onto the event.

Happy dipping and dripping!!
