What happened last year?

2023 National Dumpling Day was a great success, and involved a Dumpling competition with restaurants submitting some delicious creations! We ran a number of social media promotions and competitions, and it was great to see everyone getting involved and celebrating dumplings through NZ Chinese Language Week!
