Prestigious Chinese Black Pearl Restaurant Guide held its seventh awards ceremony in Singapore on Apr 25 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre.
This is the first day that the prizes are being presented outside of China, an inkling of Black Pearl’s global ambitions and Singapore’s long-term plans to be a world premium place.
The awards ceremony, which was attended by Cao Zhongming, the Ambassador of China to Singapore, was followed by a 10-course dinner by chefs from Yong Fu ( Hong Kong ), Amazing Chinese Cuisine ( China ), Waku Ghin ( Singapore ), La Chine ( Macau ), and CUT by Wolfgang Puck ( Singapore ).
Usually touted as the Asian counter to the more European-centric Michelin Guide, the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide was launched in 2018 by Chinese e-commerce large Meituan, whose game runs the gamut from meal delivery orders to film solution purchases and ride-hailing services.
