Asia Market Countdown to Chinese New Year with In-Store Tastings, Chef Demos and Giveaways

In the countdown to the Chinese New Year Festival, from Saturday 28th January until February 12th, Asia Market, on Drury Street, will be celebrating with a host of Chinese food and drink tastings, chef demos and giveaways.

From January 23rd, Asia Market will be giving out free to customers a special Chinese New Year ‘Red Packet’. These are available for customers who spend over €20 in store, while stocks last.

Chinese Red packets are a very popular item during Chinese New Year. The tradition is that married couples fill these Chinese New Year envelopes with money to hand out to children.

On the 24th and 25th, there will be free Dumplings Tastings from noon to 6pm – allowing you to sample the variety of flavours of these traditional Chinese New Year food, and dipping sauces to match, available at Asia Market.
