The meal ends with your fortune, wrapped in a cookie. Dorothy will join each table to answer questions about how the dishes are prepared and the ingredients used. Following lunch, we will make a quick stop at the bakery for a taste treat and then walk one block to the MT Asian Supermarket where Dorothy will take the mystery out of the market's products. Bring your shopping bags, a cooler for perishable items, and your appetite. It is sure to be a fun, informative and delicious celebration of the Chinese New Year, the year of the Rooster!
