Who Won What at the That's Food & Drink Awards 2019 in Shenzhen

On Thursday, December 19, we held our annual Food & Drink Awards ceremony in Shenzhen and we’re happy to report it was a resounding success. 

On behalf of That’s and Urbanatomy, we would like to express our deepest appreciation for all the support we received while planning and executing the That’s x 1664 Food & Drink Awards 2019 in Shenzhen, from the voting period right through to the awards ceremony, which was held at one of Shenzhen’s most most vibrant hotels, The Hard Rock Hotel Shenzhen.

Themed ‘A Galaxy Far, Far Away,’ all the city’s movers and shakers were there, enjoying captivating performances, free-flow booze and a delightful selection of high-quality edibles provided by the culinary Jedi at Hard Rock Hotel Shenzhen.

Last week’s gathering was a true testament to the food and drink scene that has flourished in the Greater Bay Area since our F&B awards started 14 years ago and we look forward to celebrating Shenzhen’s finest eateries and bars for many years to come.

Below, a nod to our amazing sponsors who helped make this fantastic event possible: 

Title and Exclusive Beer Sponsor: 

Kronenbourg 1664 is the most sold French beer in the world and a market leader for high-end premium beers. It was named after the year the Hatt family, the founders of Kronenbourg, first started commercial brewing. Kronenbourg is the fifth oldest beer brand in the world that still exists today. 1664 is ideal with a meal on the terrace, as an aperitif or simply for the pleasure of it.
