Firecrackers from time to time flash and boom February’s nights, delivering its preamble to the forthcoming Spring Festival. As the most important holiday for Chinese people, Spring Festival marks the beginning of a New Chinese Year and also a must-not-miss opportunity for family reunion, which are all involved into the dinner on New Year’s Eve. However, the preparation for the food starts much earlier. Taken the traditional Shanghai cuisine soup “Yan Du Xian” as an example, its major ingredients – bamboo shoots are only available in spring and the preserved pork is usually marinated before winter. Spring therefore becomes the golden season to purchase food for the second half of the year. SIAL CHINA in May provides such an intelligent opportunity, not only to the Chinese people but also the Asian buyers. The show will take place from 6th – 8th May, 2015 in Shanghai New International Expo Centre, hall W1 – W5, and E1 – E5.
