Vote for your Restaurants
Asia is to get its first truly independent restaurant guide, The
Miele Guide, which heralds a new standard in the Asian culinary sphere
and will set a benchmark for measuring the best restaurants in the
region.
The inaugural Miele Guide, 2008/2009, will be released at the end of
October 2008. Sri Lanka is one of the countries to be featured in the
first edition of the guide.
In addition to Sri Lanka, the guide will evaluate restaurants in 15
other Asian countries Brunei, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong and
Macau), India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The Miele Guidewill rank Asia’s top 20 best restaurants annually. The
guide will feature in-depth profiles of these top 20 restaurants in Asia
and a select list of the other top restaurants in the region,
categorised by country, city and cuisine.
All this information will be published in a slim, elegantly designed
and affordable book that every traveller, foodie and business person
looking to dine in Asia will want to own.
Readers will be asked to vote on a specific number of restaurants
from their own countries and a larger number of restaurants from outside
their own countries. If a voter wants to nominate a restaurant that does
not appear on the shortlist, he or she may do so.
The final evaluation will be made by The Miele Guide’s in-house
editorial team and contributing editors who will visit all of the
top-ranked restaurants anonymously in order to verify the voting
results.
Voters also have the chance to win attractive prizes, an all-expenses
paid meal at the top ranked restaurant in Singapore, Hong Kong or Tokyo,
plus a stay in one of Asia’s most luxurious hotels (upon registration,
voters will be asked to choose the city they want to be eligible for).
The result of the voting will be announced in October 2008 when The
Miele Guide is launched.
The Miele Guideis published by Ate Media and sponsored by Miele, a
German manufacturer of premium and innovative domestic appliances. Polls
are open until end of July.
