"In 2018 we launched the very first Golden Chopsticks Awards in the UK. As the only awards to recognise East and South East Asian cuisine, the event was extremely well received by the industry, and as our head judge Ken Hom CBE said, “It has set the standard for food awards in this sector". This feedback reinforced our belief that an event of this quality, celebrating the talent and success of the East and South East Asian food industry, was long overdue." Gok Wan MBE
