From Ricepaper Magazine: “Todd Wong, a Vancouver-based community organizer, conceived the idea as a way to explore and celebrate the mixing of Scottish and Chinese traditions. As a 5th generation Canadian, Wong found a creative and inclusive way to embrace both heritage. The event, held around the time of Chinese New Year and Robbie Burns Day, has become a symbol of cultural harmony and a testament to Canada’s multicultural mosaic […] Gung Haggis Fat Choy is not just a culinary event; it’s a cultural extravaganza that showcases the best of both Chinese and Scottish traditions. The centrepiece of the celebration is a fusion banquet that blends the flavours of traditional Chinese and Scottish cuisines.”
