The Embassy of Italy in Yangon will host the Italian Food Court 2024, taking place on Saturday, 23 November, at the Embassy’s premises. This event is a highlight of the annual Week of the Italian Cuisine in the World, celebrated around the world, and offers a unique opportunity to savour authentic Italian food and drinks. Visitors are invited to join in celebrating Italian culinary traditions, conviviality, and solidarity. This year’s events will also support social causes, with proceeds directed to aid people in need in Myanmar.
In order to participate, attendees will be required to purchase lottery tickets for Ks 5,000 each at the entrance. Proceeds from the lottery will support children affected by cancer and their families. Special prizes, generously sponsored by Food Court stakeholders and the Italian Embassy, will be awarded.
This year’s event will feature an exciting new addition: the Gelato Academy. In honour of the first Myanmar Gelato Championship, recently held with Chef Massimiliano Scotti, the championship contestants will demonstrate how to make Italian gelato without machines. The Gelato Academy will run multiple sessions during the Food Court starting at 3 PM. For just Ks 15,000 per lesson, participants can learn to craft their own Italian gelato recipe and enjoy their creation. Advance bookings are welcome and can be made via email at yangon.culturale@esteri.it.
The Italian Food Court 2024 will be open from 3 to 9 PM. The Embassy of Italy looks forward to welcoming everyone for an evening of delicious food, learning, and community support.
