Chen Jianbin and his award-winning work "Birds singing and flowers smelling".

This newspaper (Huang Songguang) held the final of the first European "Amoy Cooking Competition" in Paris on April 28th. After a three-hour competition, six contestants from Holland and France won the first prize from Chen Jianbin, a Wenzhou native who represented the French Asian Catering Federation.

It is understood that the "Taoda Cooking Competition" has been held in Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands since it started in June last year, and six winners have been decided to go to Paris to participate in the finals. In addition to Chen Jianbin, the other five people who participated in the final were Jiao Fangqi from the Netherlands, malei from Toulouse, Paris Huang Han and Cao Yuming, and Elizabeth, a female chef from Bocheng, a Vietnamese culinary family.

Each chef chooses his own dishes, but uses the Taoda seasoning from Taoda Company, the organizer of this competition. Each dish is required to be made on the spot within 45 minutes. Then it was handed over to four authoritative culinary masters, including Ye Zhenyu, president of the French Faya Restaurant Association, Lin Guangzhou, general manager of Amoy Europe, Mike, and chef Boucher of Michelin Samsung Restaurant Silver Tower, to taste and score. In the end, Chen Jianbin won the first prize with a slight advantage by virtue of the "color" of "birds singing and flowers smelling", with a prize of 2,111 euros.

Chen Jianbin from Wenzhou said that he began to learn cooking in his hometown of Wenzhou at the age of 14. I have been opening restaurants since I arrived in France. In 2117, I not only won the culinary award in Wenzhou, but also won the "Golden Zun" award in the first "Phoenix" food festival in 2115 after I arrived in France. Wang Yuan, First Secretary of the Consular Section of the French Embassy in China, said in an interview at the scene that Chinese food is spread all over France. French people like Chinese food very much. I hope there will be such competitions frequently in the future, so that China's catering culture can continue to be carried forward in French. The event was co-organized by the French Faya Catering Association and Malata Trading Corporation.
