 It's been just over a month now since I came back to the Netherlands - which means that I got to celebrate my birthday here again this year! 😊
What's more, this year I had something new to celebrate - I decided to move to the Hague! 😃

Last weekend I finally tasted dumplings for the first time at the Chinese New Year Festival. 😃
It's been a while since I had the opportunity to celebrate Chinese New Year - the last time was in Central London in 2008 - and I was super excited to be able to relive that experience here in the Netherlands. 😊 Some friends and I met on Saturday afternoon, and made our way to the train station. We boarded a train to The Hague (Den Haag) where the festival had been running all week. We arrived at The Hague 10 minutes later, and we made our way to Chinatown; when we got there the party was already in full swing! 🎉🎉There were people everywhere, loud music was playing, and Chinese food was being sold at a number of food stalls in honour of the occasion. Our first stop: Dumplings! It didn't feel right to have eaten a number of different Chinese dishes in my lifetime, but not to have tasted dumplings. So I was eager to cross them off my list. And I'm happy to say that they were well worth the wait!😃😄 Afterwards, we made a stop at a Chinese artist's table. He was writing people's names in Chinese. I asked if he could do me a favour and write me something a bit different instead: Debz Meets World. Seemed appropriate, don't you think? 😉 |
As I always say, "Food is my love language!"😄 And I believe a memorable eating-out experience is worth sharing, and a good recipe is worth passing on.
