Hungarian gastronomy and pastry acknowledged in China

Thanks to the positive reputation of the Hungarian gastronomy and pastry, food of the Hungarian cuisine is served in Hotel Mincu, Beijing, for one month. Shanghai, on the other hand, dedicates two weeks for Hungarian pastries, reports turizmusonline.hu.

The event was opened by Csaj Li-csün, CEO of Hotel Mincu and Cecilia Szilas, ambassador of Hungary in Beijing, who stated that their aim was to make Hungary an attractive destination for tourists and a potential target country for investments. The entertainment at the ceremony was provided by Hungarian hussars and folk dancers, while both the decoration and the menu of the hotel’s restaurant has been dedicated to Hungary.

Organized by the Hungarian Cultural Institute of Beijing the programmes include presentations, film screenings, endeavours to popularize the Hungary as a touristic destination, and science related diplomacy, but even kids may find themselves occupied at the event. Also the kitchen is supervised by a Hungarian chef.

Since mid-March Hungarian pastry is celebrated in Shanghai’s Park Hotel, which was designed by a Hungarian architect, László Hudec. For two weeks anyone interested can taste the traditional pastries alongside the coffee made by the Gerbaud pastry house.
