Sunshine FOOD Fever 2018
Our Sunshine FOOD Fever was proudly part of the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival and held in March. It was the ultimate four-course Sunshine progressive dinner taking you on a food journey that celebrated and reflected the successive waves of Asian, African and Indian immigration which combined to make Sunshine one of the most culturally – and gastronomically – diverse places in Australia
The 2018 food journey began at Classic Curry meeting local Indian Chefs Dhiraj and Aash sampling their regions’ food and drinks and hearing the story of how they came to call Sunshine home.
The experience continued by joining head cooks from two restaurants as they took us behind the scenes, presenting an array of Ethiopian dishes at WALIA IBEX and Afghan food at AFGHAN SHAHEEN, both celebrating their family, history and place. Sunshine Food Fever finished with refreshing sweets from Sunshine’s North Vietnamese community at XUAN BANH CUON.
