October Feast


If in the company have G.M or F&B Director from Germany, must have Oktoberfest. While the local have their "Sabah Aramaiti". It's beer, beer all the way and there's always something good to eat....like pretzels and schweinshaxe.

The story behind Oktoberfest. The German folk festival of Oktoberfest was initially held in 1810 to celebrate the wedding of King Ludwig l to Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. There was a large celebration with beer tents, food games. Today, the Oktoberfest has grown to include roller coster rides, bands, carousels and tents offering beer and tasty German fare like grilled chicken, all sorts of sausages, pretzels and ginger-bread cookies with the heart shape and writing some message. Although the festival was originally held in October, it now begins in September and ends in the first few days of October to make most of the reminig summer sunshine.
