 Tuan Bau Truong from the Royal China Club in Baker Street has beaten last year's winner, Alex Chow of Kai Mayfair, to win the prestigious title.Two hundred and fifty spectators attended the annual competition at Westminster Kingsway Catering College, organised by Westminster City Council in partnership with the Learning and Skills Council and the London China Town Chinese Association. The competition is part of Westminster Council's drive to celebrate good food hygiene practice and Chinese culinary talent amongst top chefs in Westminster. To qualify for the competition, restaurants throughout Westminster nominated a chef, and environmental health officers from the council visited each restaurant to carry out a food hygiene inspection. The winning chef was judged on an abalone starter, a duck dish, a lobster dish, a rice dish and a vegetable dish. After scooping the £1,000 prize on offer, Mr Troung said "I am very happy to have won this competition". The Deputy Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Kevin Gardner, presented the award to Mr Troung. "The food prepared today is fantastic and could easily grace any emperors table in China. We as a council are responsible for making sure restaurants in Westminster have a high standard of food hygiene, and today's competition helps to raise that standard". |
