Speareheaded by the Chinese Cuisine & Hospitality Association of Canada (CCHAC), Asialicious was announced this week to support "crisis-stricken Chinese-Canadian restaurants."

The two-week event will see promotions running at more than 100 Asian restaurants across the city, including brands with multiple locations likeHotopia,Magic Noodle,Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, andHappy Lamb Hot Pot.

CCHAC's president Catherine Hou made a public announcement about the event Tuesday alongside Markham's major,Frank Scarpitti, who recentlyvisited the restaurant Wuhan Noodle 1950following racist attacks on the business.
