Fried Haggis Chinese Style at Gung Haggis Fat Choy
We normally don't promote individuial events here, but this one is unique. It's the
10th Annual Toddish McWong's Robbie Burns Chinese New Year Dinner in Vancouver.
It 's a one of a kind multi-cultural celebration where "Chinese-Scots-Canadian deep fry Robert Burns and lettuce rap the haggis".
Bagpiper Joe McDonald, who has piped in the haggis for 8 Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinners beginning in 2001 will be there. So will event founder Todd Wong, who along with Joe will be featured on CBC Newsworld's 6pm tv broadcast to the nation on January 25th, when they will perform a short rap version Robbie Burns' immortal poem - Address to a Haggis. McDonald and his cross-cultural fusion band Brave Waves provide a sonic setting for many of the evening's singalongs.
"Gung Haggis Fat Choy is a dinner like no other. Jam-packed with cross-cultural references to the Scottish and Chinese pioneer history of British Columbia, it feeds its audience a cultural-fusion cuisine of deep-fried haggis wun tun and lettuce wrap in a 10 course Chinese banquet. It looks forward to the future of Chinese-Scottish-Canadian mixed DNA, and present-time Hapa-Canadian culture of mixed ethnicity.Vancouver poet Laureate George McWhirter has written a special poem for the event".
