As chefs, we travel far, jump a lot of hurdles, and taste a lot of different foods in the never-ending pursuit of authentic tastes. But last year, one of our flavorists traveled to Chongqing in central-western China, a city famous for its incredible food, and had a culinary adventure that few of us get to experience. Evelyn Gunadi's trip was covered by the local press, shown above. The translation is below. Enjoy!
“Sichuan food is very well-known, and the best of its kind is in Chongqing” ~ Old Chinese saying.
IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), an American company, recently sent Evelyn Gunadi, an Australian-Chinese Senior Flavorist based in IFF Singapore R&D center, to Chongqing for taste exploration. Ms Gunadi went to Chongqing for the purpose of bringing the ‘Chongqing taste’ to Asian packaged food market. She sampled more than 70 signature dishes in just two days!
