Rotorua MP Todd McClay has congratulated owner of Gold Star Bakery, Pat Lam, on winning the Best Pie Award for 2010.
Mr McClay said that he had eaten a number of Mr Lam's pies over the years and was not surprised that Gold Star had won this prestigious award for a 4th time.
"In fact, I am so impressed by Pat's pies I have invited him to bring them to Parliament," Mr McClay said. "I think it is important that we share the best of Rotorua with MPs and journalists in the capital city and I would be delighted to host Mr Lam and his pies at a special function in Wellington to celebrate this success."
Mr McClay said that this would be an opportunity to showcase some of Rotorua's hospitality industry. "I will be talking to other businesses unique to Rotorua like Croucher Brewery, to see if they would be interested in joining us to promote Rotorua in Parliament".
"I congratulate Pat Lam and all of his team for winning this award and look forward to having one of his winning pies soon," Mr McClay said. |
