#TasteHGH and TasteSHN

Follow the Chinese Restaurant Awards to discover Hangzhou and Shanghai, China

Completed in summer 2017, #TasteHKG, the first contest that offered Canadian social media influencers the rare opportunity to meet the new visionaries of Chinese cuisine in Hong Kong, attracted enthusiastic feedback of like-minded foodies in Canada. The Chinese Restaurant Awards decided to continue the inspirational #Taste city series.

We invited the first runner up of #TasteHKG to be the ambassador and take the one-week trip this end of October, 2017 to discover the classic and trending world of Hu/Huaiyang/Hangzhou cuisines in the two culinary capitals Hangzhou and Shanghai, China. A total of 9 restaurants were visited. The ambassador shared her experience online, connecting food and travel enthusiasts in Canada with a unique gastronomic odyssey.

Let us open the world of Chinese cuisine once again with #TasteHGH Hangzhou and #TasteSHN Shanghai.
