An Encounter with Foods of the Chinese New Year

Robert Hsu, owner-manager of Maple Garden Restaurant, has agreed to offer to the CHINA SEMINAR a luncheon of several dishes containing ingredients indispensable to traditions of the Chinese New Year. This special meal will be accompanied by some commentary by D. W. Y. Kwok on the symbolic and culinary aspects of foods of the Chinese New Year. In addition, Ms. Zhang Ling, a noted guzheng (zither) player from Beijing, has kindly consented to perform before the luncheon.
