CHINATOWN EXCURSION #CHINAT
AND DIM SUM BRUNCH
Rose Lee & Associates
Join Master chef and cookbook author Rose Lee while she guides you
to the delights of Chinese culture and foods. Learn your way around
this unique section of downtown Boston as we explore the nooks and
crannies of both old and new Chinatown and visit Asian markets,
Chinese bakeries, favorite restaurants, herbal shops, art and gift
shops, jade jewelers, Chinese silk fabric and costume shops. Also
learn about Chinatown's exotic fruits, herbs and vegetables and where
to find inexpensive Asian cookware. Enjoy samples of Chinese
breakfast, Chinese pastries and Chinatown's best Chinese B.B.Q. Rose
Lee will share her extensive knowledge about quality brands of
imported Asian ingredients that are best for Chinese, Thai,
Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese cooking and how to store them. At the
end of the tour we will have a sumptuous dim sum lunch at the area's
best dim sum tea house and teach you how dim sum is ordered and
explain the many exotic delicacies on the dim sum carts. (Lunch costs
an additional $5-$7 per person, payable at the restaurant.) This is a
walking tour, so wear comfortable shoes and bring shopping bags and a
cooler to stock up on ingredients and seasonings. Please note:
Chinatown is near South Station T (accessible from Alewife Red Line)
and parking is available in the area. Maps will be sent after
registration with exact meeting place. Limit 12. Rose Lee, a
