\n“I am honoured to take part in what I believe is an important and exciting cultural experience. The 2009 Chinese Restaurant Awards is very significant as it embraces a culinary history of China that is thousands-year old.
\n
\nI wish to emphasize the unique approach adopted by this year’s judging panel. The rationale behind awarding signature dishes is how appropriately it defines Chinese’s love for quality food and divine flavour, a passion that triumphs above other elements, such as atmosphere and service. The criteria established by the panel allow restaurants to concentrate on the art of cooking, through development and application of specialized skills and creative concepts. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\nThe 2009 Chinese Restaurant Awards will strive towards achieving two
\nprimary goals. Firstly, it not only encourages healthy competition,
\nbut also honours restaurants in the Lower Mainland that demonstrate
\nexcellence in producing outstanding dishes. Secondly, this event will
\nraise wider awareness and interest in Chinese culinary arts.
\nVancouver’s international culinary image is comparatively on the high
\nside, the list of winners will definitely be an affirmative guideline
\nto the public in selecting the ‘cream of the crop’.\n<\/p>\n
\nI believe this experience is a worthwhile one and very much look
\nforward to involvment in the further growth of Chinese culinary arts in
\nlocally and abroad.”\n<\/p>\n
