“Blessed with bountiful seafood from the Pacific Ocean, fresh produce from the Fraser Valley, and top-notch chefs from China who now call Lower Mainland home, Chinese cuisine in Metro Vancouver has been regarded by global diners as the best in North America.  The emergence of the Signature Dish awards is not only timely, but is also the best way to pay tribute to the hard working men and women behind these divine dishes which we so much enjoy.

This monumental event has also given the panel of judges
opportunities to re-live the delicious moments we all encountered in
different Chinese restaurants.  During the process we argued, we
concurred, we debated over a particular dish and our palates rejoiced
inevitably upon mentioning of certain mouth-watering gourmet tastes.

Let’s give a round of applause to these signature dishes that keep elevating our dining pleasure to a higher level.
