Lin Chinese Cuisine and Tea House named world's best Chinese-food restaurant

[amor de cosmos]

anyone been to this place?

Visitors to a Chinese restaurant that's gaining a word-of-mouth fan base in Vancouver hardly notice the orangey-peach walls and black ceiling as they stand in line for a meal.

Instead, their eyes are fixed on the food being devoured by diners in the packed "hole-in-the-wall" eatery where decor has taken a back seat to good taste and value.

The dish that tops several tables is chef Ru Lin Zhang's pork dumplings, which won him a critic's choice award this year at the city's inaugural Chinese Restaurant Awards.

Zhang, who opened the Lin Chinese Cuisine and Tea House near a bustling west-side intersection two years ago, demonstrated two of his dishes - Green and White Fish Soup and Crunchy Golden Prawns - at the Vancouver Home and Interior Design Show's food stage last week.
