By Chen Qide THE city has decided to launch its first food culture fair at the East Asia Exhibition Hall in the Shanghai Stadium on March 17, to promote the local food industry. The five-day event aims to display the city's brand name food to challenge its overseas counterparts. The fair will set up special halls for local cuisines from Hangzhou, Sichuan and other cities in the Yangtze Delta and also provide a hall for foreign cuisines. "As a metropolis, Shanghai has lagged far behind Hong Kong, Taipei, Guangzhou and Hangzhou in holding food fairs," said He Yizhao, president of the Shanghai Catering Trade Association. Hong Kong holds a food show annually and Taipei has held such a fair for 13 years running. Some Shanghai brand name food and snacks were recently displayed in Macao to create a stir, He said. |
