On Monday, January 27, the NDB community celebrated Chinese New Year with an extended lunch for a special menu and activities and games.  The event is an annual NDB tradition sponsored by the Chinese Knot Club.

Lunch included Chinese dishes, such as sweet and sour pork, chow mein, and rice, all cooked and served by Epicurean Group.

Activities and games included calligraphy, knot making, and paper lanterns in the Innovation lab and badminton in the Small Gym. 

The Chinese Knot Club organized the event’s menu, activities, and games. Planning for the event began at the end of last semester.  They brainstormed activities, including some from last year’s celebration, as well as met with Epicurean’s chefs to discuss which dishes to prepare.  The food items were selected based on popular dishes from previous years. 

“[My hope] for this year’s event is that as many people as possible come and enjoy the activities and lunch,” junior and Chinese Knot Club President Aletta Chen said.
