Celebrating Love with Tanabata Food Festival at Shangri-La


Tanabata means Evening of the Seventh, its the famous Star Festival of Japan.
Festivities of Tanabata start on 7th July, when the long lost lovers (Orihime and Hikoboshi) reunite, thats so lovable and pure. That initiated me to know more about the background of the festival and asked Chef to tell more about the story. Let me share the story with you guys as well.

Orihime (Weaving Princess) who is daughter of Sky King, Tentei used to weave beautiful clothes by the bank of Amanogawa (heavenly river). Tentei cloth what she wove and Orihime used to work daily to weave beautiful clothes. However, Orihime was occupied in weaving clothes that she thought she will never find time to meet and love someone. Tentei got concerned about her and so got get to marry Hikoboshi a Cow Herder who lived across the Heavenly river. They both were in great love with each other. However, Tentei no longer got clothes from Orihime. Tentei got angry with this and seperated the lovers out of anger. Orihime got really sad and asked her father to reunite them. Tentei got concered with his daughters tears and told them that they can meet on 7th July, and the lovers got reunited again.
So guys on 7th July if you see the 2 stars together do make a wish, and they will make it true.
