31 August – 6 September | International Dumpling Day: 26 September
Restaurants across Aotearoa are invited to join the Design-a-Dumpling competition as part of NZCLW (31 August – 6 September), and in celebration of International Dumpling Day (Friday 26 September).
Simply create a one-off dumpling special — the more creative, the better! Dumpling lovers will visit participating restaurants, vote for their favourites, and go in the draw to win prizes. The winning restaurant will also receive a prize and media opportunities.
