The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Tianjin Chapter’s 5th Annual Food and Beverage Celebration held on the 15th of October was a night to remember. The annual event is by far the EUCCC’s most anticipated celebration with over 320 guests in attendance this year. Business leaders from Ipsen, Airbus, Siemens, Alcan and Goglio, who are also the board members of EUCCC Tianjin chapter, ate and drank the night away alongside guests from leading European companies in Tianjin and nearby area. The upscale Raffles Hotel in downtown Tianjin hosted this year’s event in their Grand Ballroom. The ambience was relaxed and elegant, traditional food from France, Italy and Germany and other European countries were served with Torres wine from Spain and various fresh German beer, with a surprise over-sized cake celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the EUCCC with the famous music “Ode of Joy”.
The festivities also included a Best Dressed Competition and a Lucky Draw, which awarded prizes such as a TUI Yangtze River cruise travel, Dikara Spa treatment, Westin fitness center membership and a variety of complimentary 5-star hotel packages. A special congratulation goes out to Morten Stenkilde, who won a one night stay for 2 in the Presidential Suite at the Radisson Plaza Hotel, including breakfast buffets featuring a seven course menu and free-flowing wine. The total package is valued at RMB 15,388.
Guests ate, drank and danced the night away to the sounds of live music played by the St. Lucia Dee and her saxophonist Jab, with music sets mixed by the invited DJ Moha. Many thanks go out to our corporate sponsors, Airbus, Goglio, Ipsen, Jones Lang LaSalle, Siemens, Vestas, Business Tianjin, DK 1308 and the Raffles Hotel who made this night possible. Many thanks also go out to all of our special guests in attendance that made this night nothing short of magical.
