Friends of Tai Chi Dinner at Shiang Garden, Richmond
Lorna invited me to the Friends of Tai Chi Chinese New Year celebration dinner at Shiang Garden.
This is an annual event for the Friends of Tai Chi group. The master of this group had been teaching tai chi for 20 years. She used to be a member of the Richmond Community Kitchen too.
The event began with tai chi performances by some students.
A duo sword performance.
The master performed a sword performance.
I particularly like above performance where the performer recited the poetic movement along with his performance.
The master ended the performances with a fan performance. I like the sound of flipping open the fan during the performance.
A round of lucky draw before dinner was served.
Dinner started off with a thick soup, “geng”. The above is Fish Maw Soup with Crabmeat. A little red vinegar to cut the richness of the soup.
Duck served in two ways. The server brought the whole duck to the table to have a view of it and brought it to another working table to carve it. (more…)
