The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, with the collaboration of the City of Madrid and Community of Madrid, organize the culinary days where you can discover the rich Chinese gastronomy, coinciding with the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

In 2019, the Chinese celebrate the New Year of the pig, so this edition the participating restaurants will feature typical menus that will include pork dishes paying tribute to that animal.
The diners will be able to enjoy a typical dish, the dim sum. Dim sum is a style of Chinese cuisine prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plate. The name of these Chinese tapas made with meat, vegetables, fish or fruit means “touch in the heart” and for this occasion they will be filled with bacon, barbecued black pig or Iberian ham with lemon grass. It is one of the many snacks you will be able to try in this event that is a must for those that wish to get to know the culinary tradition of this Asian country.
China Taste collaborates with the Fundación José María de Llanos and a donation will be given from each menu for social projects developed by this foundation destined to comprehensive attention of women in vulnerable situations.
