Last month, we celebrated our 13th awards ceremony in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, and I’d like to start this note off by thanking everyone who attended and sponsored this year’s event, as well as all of you – our dear readers - that voted in this year’s contest. To find out which F&B locations took home hardware at the 2018 That’s Food & Drink Awards, flip to page 36. On page 12, in our City section, we share a surreal – and kind of eerie – photo series, which was captured in Shanghai by Alexis Goodwin. If you’re planning to travel over the Chinese New Year holiday, which – I might add – is swiftly approaching, I strongly encourage you to flip to page 24 and introduce yourself to the wonderful Indonesian island of Belitung.
