What an incredible Friday night for Crazy Korean!
We were thrilled to be part of the KRA Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse in Durban. The event celebrated the long-standing relationship between South African horse racing and the Korea Racing Authority (KRA).
The theme for the evening was “All Things Korean.” Guests enjoyed K-pop, traditional Korean performances, hanbok, cultural activities and, of course, plenty of Korean food in Durban.
Crazy Korean at the Korean Food Market
Crazy Korean joined the public pop-up market, where visitors could sample a variety of Korean foods.
We served some of our most popular dishes, including Sticky Chicken, Honey Garlic Ginger Wings, Mandu (Korean dumplings) and Ramen.
The response was fantastic. We had queues for most of the evening and loved seeing so many Durban locals enjoying Korean food.
The weather was perfect too, which added to the wonderful atmosphere around the racecourse.
Korean Food at The View
Crazy Korean was also invited to provide a selection of Korean dishes at The View, Greyville’s beautiful restaurant overlooking the racecourse.
Here, guests could enjoy Korean food while watching the Friday night racing.
We were also able to sit with members of the Durban Korean community, making the evening even more special for us.
Catering for the Chairman’s Lounge
Our third role was particularly exciting.
Crazy Korean provided Korean food and sashimi for special guests in the VVIP Chairman’s Lounge.
Guests included representatives from Korean racing, the Durban Korean community and other invited dignitaries.
Also attending were five young Korean jockey trainees currently based in KwaZulu-Natal. They are completing approximately two years of professional training at the South African Jockey Academy before pursuing their racing careers in Korea.
Korea Meets South Africa in Durban
This was the 17th exchange race between the Korea Racing Authority and South African racing.
Therefore, the evening represented much more than horse racing. It celebrated the growing relationship between Korea and South Africa through sport, culture, community and food.
For KJ and the Crazy Korean team, it was wonderful to see these two worlds come together right here in Durban.
Perfect weather, exciting racing, great entertainment and lots of Korean food. What a night!
