![Post image for A Look at the New Wild Rice in New Westminster [video]](http://urbandiner.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/wild_riceNW.jpg)
Check out this ‘behind the scenes’ video with restaurateur Andrew Wong, as he gives a guided tour of his brand new Wild Rice restaurant–soft opening this week in the renovated River Market in New Westminster.
With Re-Up BBQ also staking a claim in the market building, expanding from the wet, cold and cramped quarters of their two street carts, could New West be the next safe and affordable harbour for growing brands looking outside Vancouver for a new place to play? Only time will tell, but I now have 2 more tasty reasons to visit the market in the historic capital of British Columbia. ~ PK

Great preview and awesome to see New West as the location as a resident in the tri-cities! Woop. Thanks Andrew.
I was listening to CBC this morning, Jan 13, and they mentioned cooking classes at your restaurant.
Please let me know how I can find out more information.
Thank you.

Classes take place every Monday evening starting at 6 p.m. at the New Westminster location and each concludes with a four-course meal that you have helped to create under Chef Bright’s expert tutelage.
January highlights Vegan Chinese. You’ll learn to prepare a tasty vegan dinner that includes: seasonal vegetable spring rolls with ginger soy agave dipping sauce, curry vegetable bao with a kecap drizzle, grilled king oyster mushrooms and ending on a sweet note with five-spice carrot cake with ginger icing. Price for this course is $30 with an optional wine flight for $15.
February, March and April’s courses are available either singly for $45 (including welcome cocktail) or a Trio Pack of one class each month for only $115 which gives you a $20 discount over the individual price. Chicken Chop Chop is the theme for February.
March is Focus on Fish and April will teach you all about Shell Fish Chinese-style – all those ‘ancient Chinese secrets’ to preparing succulent scallops, oysters and crab. A wine flight is not included with these classes.
