On November 29, an international cafe took place on the board of the plane “the Primakov Centre”, which brought together participants from the three clubs: ISClub, SinoClub, and IberAClub!
Polina Nechetova became the host of our amazing gastronomic tour. Initially, we ventured to China under the guidance of a representative from SinoClub – Gunel Alieva. Our guides to the world of China were Jiang Ishan and Jin Yujin. The girls not only talked about the traditional Chinese dish but also cooked it – Tangyuan (团圆). These are rice balls made with black sesame seeds, lard, and a small amount of sugar. The dough is rolled into a round shape using sticky rice flour. The dumplings are served in a special sauce that gives this dish a uniquely delightful taste.
After that, Angelina Movsisyan and Angelina Sanina presented one of the most recognizable dishes of Russian cuisine and treated us to it. Once they were sprinkled with pepper, dunked in pink champagne, washed down with cold milk, and doused in vinegar. As you may have already guessed, they were dumplings.
The tasting of dishes was particularly delightful, with each dish being highly appreciated by all the participants.
At the end of the meeting, there was a master class on making dumpling-shaped keychains led by Anastasia Tolstikova. Each participant was able to take home a little dumpling keychain as a memento of the event.
