Host city crowned home of 'world's best Chinese food'
ANCOUVER: Pack your chopsticks and book a flight to Vancouver, a city where you can find the "best Chinese food in the world", even better than that of China!
Such a bold claim may be enough to make serious foodies choke on their mapo doufu. But in an article in this month's edition of Conde Nast Traveler, writer Mark Schatzker, with the help of local food scribe Stephanie Yuen, provides a list of reasons why Vancouver is "home to the best Chinese food in the world".
On a visit to the Winter Olympics host city, Schatzker packed away 38 Chinese meals (including visiting eight restaurants in one day) and categorized his findings according to his own ratings. He lists the best breakfast, dessert, soup, seafood, dumpling and even the best Asian mall - Yaohan Mall in Richmond, a Vancouver suburb, was deemed the winner.
