Chinese New Year - Celebration at The Emperor Leamington Spa

Mon, Jan 30th 2017 at 6:45 pm -

The Rotary Club of Kenilworth invites every year other local rotary clubs to join them to celebrate the Chinese New Year


Another successful welcome to the Chinese New Year of the Cockerell, at the Emperors in Leamington Spa. Rotarians from Coventry Jubilee, Warwick, Southam, Leamington and, of course , Kenilworth, got together for a tasty selection of starters and meals; from sizzling fillet steak and spicy chicken to delicious sesame prawn toasts and perfectly cooked rice. A few of our number succumbed to forks and spoons although there were some chopstick experts that handled the rice like... true masters of the technique. A couple of quizzes were left on the tables, followed later with answer sheets, so we could all learn a bit more about the Chinese culture. Thanks to all for supporting our annual celebration.
