Celebrate the Peninsula Hong Kong's 80Th Anniversary with a Charity FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2018 SPRING MOON RECEIVES ONE MICHELIN STAR FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND IS FEATURED IN ‘THE MICHELIN GUIDE FINE CANTONESE FOOD’ The Peninsula Hong Kong has once again been recognised as one of the city’s finest dining destinations through the hotel’s renowned Cantonese restaurant, Spring Moon, being awarded one star for the third consecutive year in the newly announced ‘MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong Macau 2019’. The acclaimed restaurant received a double seal of approval from the renowned gastronomic entity as it is also featured as a top recommendation in the inaugural edition of ‘The MICHELIN Guide Fine Cantonese Food’, which recognises the best Cantonese eateries around the world and was published for the first time in 2018. The retention of Spring Moon’s coveted Michelin star is the latest feather in the cap for Chinese Cuisine Executive Chef Gordon Leung, who has been at the helm of the restaurant for the past two - and-a-half years. With close to 30 years of culinary experience in Hong Kong, Chef Leung is no stranger to awards, having previously earned a Michelin star during his 21-year tenure in another of Hong Kong’s renowned fine Chinese restaurants. Drawing on an encyclopaedic knowledge of Chinese cooking techniques and a lifelong passion for food, Chef Leung places great emphasis on the authenticity, freshness and flavours of each ingredient, which he then uses to create exquisitely presented dishes that offer the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Mr Joseph Chong, Area Vice President and Managing Director, The Peninsula Hong Kong and The Peninsula Shanghai, said: “We are proud and delighted to receive this honour from the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong and Macau for the third year running. Consistency is key to any great restaurant, and this recognition for Spring Moon is a fitting testament to the incredible work ethic, boundless creativity and relentless pursuit of excellence displayed by Chef Leung and his talented kitchen team.” SPRING MOON RECEIVES ONE MICHELIN STAR FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR AND IS FEATURED IN ‘THE MICHELIN GUIDE FINE CANTONESE FOOD’– 2 Spring Moon has been hailed as one of Hong Kong’s most unique restaurants since it first opened its doors in 1986. Designed to recreate Roaring Twenties Shanghai, it encapsulates all the glamour and excitement of the Jazz Age through period details, including Frank Lloyd-Wright-influenced Art Deco stained glass and an antique-style teak floor lined with Oriental rugs, creating the perfect setting in which to enjoy classic Cantonese dishes and world-famous dim sum.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Cantonese As a World Language from Pearl River and Beyond
    Volume 10 Issue 2 (2021) Cantonese as a World Language From Pearl River and Beyond Jiaqing Zeng1 and Asif Agha2 1St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH, USA 2University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA DOI: https://doi.org/10.47611/jsrhs.v10i2.1435 ABSTRACT In this paper, I will be comparing different registers of Cantonese from all around the world, mainly focusing on the Pearl River Delta region after the 1800s. Yet my larger purpose is to draw attention to how these different registers relate to the cultural values and social lives of the people living in those places. Max Weinreich, a pioneer sociolinguist and Yiddish scholar once said, “a language is a dialect with an army and a navy (Fishman).” Cantonese is no exception, and the state of this language has been dependent upon four factors: the geographic distribution of the Cantonese- speaking population, the economic development of Cantonese-speaking regions, official status, and international sig- nificance. Introduction Cantonese is one of the Chinese dialects and the mother tongue for the Guangfu people of Han Chinese, who were originally from China’s Lingnan region. The language has a complete set of nine tones, retaining many features of Middle Ancient Chinese since the area seldom suffered from wars and was unaffected by the nomadic minorities in northern China. It has a complete series of characters that can be expressed independently from other Chinese lan- guages, and it is the only Chinese language that has been studied in foreign universities in addition to Mandarin. It originated from Canton (Guangzhou) because of the important role that Canton had played in China’s important pol- itics, economy, and culture since ancient times, and it still has official status in Hong Kong and Macau today.
