Sheraton Utama Hotel recently concluded their Shanghai Food Festival, the third for 2003.

The event, which ran for ten days, began on September 26.

It was almost fully booked every night.

Its main attraction were cultural performances and cooking classes.

In conjunction with this, a lucky draw with great prizes to be won was also held.

Sponsors were Royal Brunei Airlines, Standard Chartered Bank and St Regis Shanghai.

Announcement of the winners was made yesterday.

Pg Mohd Ayub PMA Pg Hj Ahmad won himself the grand prize, which was a one return economy ticket to Shanghai, $1,000 spending allowance and a six-day stay at St Regis Shanghai.

Mr Roy David walked away with a prize of two-night accommodation at Westin Shanghai, while Mr Chua Kheng Bian got two nights also at St Regis Shanghai.

"Food festivals have grown from strength to strength.

"Without a doubt, the Shanghai Food Festival was our most successful," commented Simon Dorman, Executive Assistant Manager of Food and Beverage at Sheraton Utama Hotel.

"This certainly would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors Royal Brunei Airlines and Standard Chartered Bank as well as partners in the Chinese Embassy, Paul and Elizabeth Pottery and Chung Hwa Middle School," he added.
