Chinese people in the city will name it naturally as the area ages. Otherwise, nothing will ever stick.

I'll be more interested in what she reviews once she's gone through the usual suspects. Will she skip smaller gems like Moutai? Only time will tell...
IS MOUTAI BACK!?! As far as I know, the "new" Moutai at Cambie and Garden City closed and then the imposter Moutai closed and is now a good Korean duck feast restaurant.

I'm sure plenty of food bloggers call it that but I've honestly never heard the term before and no one I know has ever called it that before either. I thought someone was going old school on me and referencing Golden Award and just remembering it wrong.
