It was already late in the afternoon when the event finished. The votes have been counted and verified, and the emcee was delighted to announce the unanimous results of the menu tasting by a panel of five local food critics.
The cooking battle between the Oriental Bliss and la Reverie was not only between the professional chefs and culinary students but also showcased the difference between the western cuisine which la Reverie presented and Oriental Bliss' local cuisine.
This event wasn't to argue which food was better since it all came down to taste. It's not a question of which food was better. No one could really say one was better than another since they're so different. Nevertheless, it's important to note the key ways in both cuisines.
As cuisine was influenced by the cooking practices and traditions of a specific culture, local foods and Western foods had naturally evolved distinctly different in many ways.
