With the Shanghai winter closing
in, and the holiday season beckoning, it's a great opportunity to
reflect on our 2011 personal and professional activities and
achievements.
Thank you sincerely for your contributions to our AustCham Shanghai
community over the last 12 months. Our membership target is on
track with an expected 20 per cent growth in
Corporate Members before end of the financial year, bringing
more capabilities and industry specialists to our network.
The advent of
AustCham Greater China has opened the door to more advocacy
leverage, networking and information-sharing opportunities for
Australian businesses across Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong. Thank
you to Founding Chair Joanne Wood and six AGC Board Directors for
their ongoing work in driving this initiative.

Chef David Laris
delves into modern Shanghainese cuisine
|
 |
Prolific Australian chef David Laris has opened a new Chinese
restaurant concept 'Le Sheng' on Anfu Road in the heart of the
former French Concession.
Mr Laris said the boutique restaurant offers modern Shanghainese
cuisine in an intimate, upscale dining experience.
"As a western Chef who has been in China for almost 10 years, I
wanted to merge my experience overseas with what I have learned
here, to create a Chinese concept for the first time," he
said.
"I work with a very talented, local Chinese Chef named Fang Chao.
He develops all of the dishes and flavours, as we wanted to ensure
the authenticity of the food and the experience. I work with him on
the plating, styling and presentation. Together we're really
looking to bring guests traditional Shanghainese food that they can
enjoy in a warm and well-designed environment. This is what Le
Sheng is really about."
