Miele Guide to Asia's Best Restaurants: Vote for Shanghai!

While travelling, I got word that voting for Asia's Best Restaurants in the Miele Guide was on again. For the fourth year running, you, the dining public, have an opportunity to vote for the restaurants you think are the most deserving of a best restaurant award. The Miele Guide is an authoritative and independent annual publication which evaluates and ranks restaurants across the regions, as determined by the votes of an invited jury, professional restaurant critics, a jury of respected foodies and the public. 

I've listed last year's Top Twenty Asian Restaurants for your interest. Although there were no less than six Hong Kong restaurants in the top twenty, including L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon in second place, the only mainland restaurant that made the cut was last place-getter, Da Dong Roast Duck Restaurant in Beijing. Disgraceful! Shanghai didn't even make the list! There's a not-so-friendly rivalry between Shanghai and Beijing, so if Beijing pips us again there will be blood in the streets. 
So come on all you food lovers! Whether you live here, or whether you've just visited, chances are that if you're reading this you think about restaurants quite a lot, and have a favourite. I know I do. 
Voting for the 2011/2012 edition of The Miele Guide opens on 14 March 2011 and closes on 16 May 2011 Just click on the red voting tab to the right to have your vote counted. The 2011/2012 edition will be available at all major bookstore come October.


According to Miele, 'Much of what the guide is about is really to rouse the dining public to become champions for their favorite restaurants, both across the region and in their own countries and cities, translating passion for good food by helping to bring Asia’s best into the international spotlight.'
