On Wednesday, a fire broke out in the cargo hold of “Felicity Ace” named ship, which departed from Germany’s Emden city to the US on February 10. The 22 crew members of the ship, which is carrying thousands of luxury vehicles including 1.100 Porsches, Bentleys, Audis and Lamborghinis, were evacuated as the flames spread on the ship. Also, it’s been stated that the ship was drifting off the Azores Islands of Portugal in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for 2 days. The Portuguese Navy announced on Friday that the fire continued and an ocean patrol ship was deployed in the area to monitor the burning ship. It’s been reported that the fire did not cause any pollution in the sea yet.
A reception was held at the Turkish Embassy in Jakarta on Tuesday to mark Turkish Cuisine Week, introducing classic dishes of Türkiye to guests from the diplomatic, business, and arts communities.
The event featured a traditional menu prepared by Ottoman cuisine chef Recep İncecik, including lentil soup, tray pastry, imam bayıldı, kısır, tarator, shepherd’s salad, dry beans, hünkarbeğendi, hakani halva, and baklava.
Turkish Ambassador to Jakarta Talip Küçükcan stated, “This year’s theme focuses on traditional Turkish food culture, which is often overlooked due to modernization and fast food trends. Türkiye wants to highlight its rich culinary heritage.”
Turkish Cuisine Week is celebrated annually from May 21 to 27 under the patronage of First Lady Emine Erdoğan, both in Türkiye and abroad.
