After more than twelve months of anticipation, diners were eager to nominate and vote for their annual favourite restaurants. The competition heated up about halfway into the voting period when several restaurants were in the lead. The top three in each category were announced daily on the awards’ website, making the voting process more exciting and transparent.
Max Noodle House won the title of Best Wonton Noodles. Diners were impressed by the chef’s skill in balancing the combination of soup, noodles, and wonton all in one bowl. S&W Pepper House won Best Sichuan Boiled Beef by maintaining the authenticity of a classic dish. Bamboo Grove, the oldest Chinese restaurant in Richmond, knows a thing or two about making the Best Honey Garlic Spareribs, a delicacy that was invented right here in Canada.
The Peninsula Seafood Restaurant at Oakridge Centre quickly won diners’ hearts with its outstanding performance, after only four months of operation. The restaurant took first place in the Best Service and Best Fine Dining Restaurant categories. In the Best Egg Tart category, Lido Restaurant was the top contender throughout the competition. It won the title by carefully crafting the Hong Kong-style pastry that is adored by many. Last but not least, the title of Best Taiwanese Bubble Tea was bestowed on Dragon Ball, a small café at the corner of West King Edward Avenue and Oak Street that has gained a loyal following.
