Vote for the Champion Dishes to Win Prizes!

Thanks to the chefs who have prepared wonderful dishes for the “2010 EatSmart Cooking Competition”! The preliminary assessment was held on 28 July when our professional adjudicators critically short-listed a total of 20 EatSmart dishes in the “seafood”, “meat”, “poultry” and “fruit and vegetables” categories. Contestants will prepare their dishes on site at the Chinese Cuisine Training Institute on 4 November to compete for the “Gold Award”, “Silver Award” and “Bronze Award”.

Public voted for the champion dish in each category by post or Internet during the public voting period from 13 September to 10 October. The voters will enter a lucky draw and stand the chance to win supermarket gift coupons amounting to HK$10,000 in total. For details, please browse our EatSmart Website (http://restaurant.eatsmart.gov.hk).

Let’s find the answers under the “Less Oil, please!” column at http://restaurant.eatsmart.gov.hk!
