Rare Lunar New Year fare makes it to big screen

Anyone curious to know about lesser-known Chinese New Year dishes could find the answers in an upcoming culinary documentary.

A Bite of China: Celebrating the Chinese New Year, a feature-length film, will hit the theaters across the mainland on Jan 7.

Just like a gourmet expedition, the movie showcases diverse, colorful dishes cooked only in the days surrounding China's Lunar New Year, the time for family reunions.
