Celebrate the Chinese New Year with Dorothy Huang, Chinese cooking expert and author of Chinese Cuisine Made Simple.  Dorothy has arranged a ten course feast of delectable dishes to share at First Chinese BBQ Restaurant and a walking tour of the MT Asian Supermarket. 

Lunch begins with pots of hot tea and crisp spring rolls with dipping sauce. Wonton soup follows along with Chinese bbq pork, stir fried lo mein noodles with vegetables, sliced Peking duck tucked into a steamed bun, General Tso's chicken, shrimp with snow peas, cod with black bean sauce, stir-fried beef with broccoli, and  shredded pork with garlic sauce. The meal finishes with your fortune - wrapped in a cookie. 

During lunch Dorothy will join each table to answer questions about preparation of dishes and the ingredients used.  Following lunch we will 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's sure to be a fun, informative and delicious celebration of the Chinese New Year – the year of the Pig!

Ticket cost includes transportation, 10 course lunch, and market tour.  Maximum tickets:  24
