International Food Festival – Cerebral Palsy Foundation

A generous bloke gave me free tickets to the above event held last Sunday..in aid of kids afflicted by Cerebral Palsy. It was held at Thorn Tree Ranch.

Mbaazi with coconut sauce and mahamri to go with it

This had my senses reeling…first time I saw anything like it. Wow. I just stared as it turn round and round wishing I could drown in it ! So chocolate, so velvet, so sensual. A chocoholic’s dream.

Nyama choma - yummy !

Sizzling steaks

Rice salad and pasta

Mince meat with peas

Food Indian style

We still use soda bottles…

Ilcovo menu

The crowd… 

more crowd

some well known faces in Mombasa

The Event’s MC Mohammed Hersi – manager Whitesands. He did a good job.

Music was by the famous Safari Sounds Band

Raffle prizes

Tickets were 800 bob.

At the end of the day, the entire event had raised 3 million Kenya shillings. A million shillings up from last year’s event.

For sale, beadery and other crafts made by kids afflicted with cerebral palsy..

There was a fish pond at the ranch and in it were the most beautiful fish….

This was my favourite fish of the lot…. look at God’s creation…. Subhanallah.

They paid tribute to the late owner of the ranch, Dr Kashmiri. He lent his ranch every year to this cause and was a key figure. God rest his soul in peace. Ameen.
