China leads Asia's 50 Best Restaurants awards with 13 eateries in the 2016 list announced this week, Mike Peters reports.

Amber restaurant in Hong Kong added a bit of extra luster to the two Michelin stars it holds this week, reclaiming the title "Best Restaurant in China" and No 4 in Asia at the 2016 awards for Asia's 50 Best Restaurants.
