The votes are not only a reflection of today&rsquo;s dining trend but also the key in making the Chinese Restaurant Awards a reliable dining guide in Canada. This year, EY Canada is the official auditor that verified the 19,612 votes cast in the past four weeks, a 14% increase in votes over 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ChineseRestaurantAwards.com\/CRAmedia\/CRA2014LaunchPR_eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">download the english release in PDF<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/jdmt4vpgwrp49wx\/4SuNTEpI29\" target=\"_blank\">dropbox download link for high resolution images of the winning dishes of Best Wonton Noodles, Best Sichuan Boiled Beef,&nbsp; Best Honey Garlic Spareribs, Best Taiwanese Bubble Tea and Best Egg Tart <\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<br \/>\nAfter more than twelve months of anticipation, diners were eager to<br \/>\nnominate and vote for their annual favourite restaurants. The<br \/>\ncompetition heated up about halfway into the voting period when several<br \/>\nrestaurants were in the lead. The top three in each category were<br \/>\nannounced daily on the awards&rsquo; website, making the voting process more<br \/>\nexciting and transparent.<\/p>\n<p>Max Noodle House won the title<br \/>\nof Best Wonton Noodles. Diners were impressed by the chef&rsquo;s skill in<br \/>\nbalancing the combination of soup, noodles, and wonton all in one bowl.<br \/>\nS&amp;W Pepper House won Best Sichuan Boiled Beef by maintaining the<br \/>\nauthenticity of a classic dish. Bamboo Grove, the oldest Chinese<br \/>\nrestaurant in Richmond, knows a thing or two about making the Best Honey<br \/>\nGarlic Spareribs, a delicacy that was invented right here in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nPeninsula Seafood Restaurant at Oakridge Centre quickly won diners&rsquo;<br \/>\nhearts with its outstanding performance, after only four months of<br \/>\noperation. The restaurant took first place in the Best Service and Best<br \/>\nFine Dining Restaurant categories. In the Best Egg Tart category, Lido<br \/>\nRestaurant was the top contender throughout the competition. It won the<br \/>\ntitle by carefully crafting the Hong Kong-style pastry that is adored by<br \/>\nmany. Last but not least, the title of Best Taiwanese Bubble Tea was<br \/>\nbestowed on Dragon Ball, a small caf&eacute; at the corner of West King Edward<br \/>\nAvenue and Oak Street that has gained a loyal following.<\/p>\n<p>All<br \/>\nwinners of the Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards will be invited to the opulent<br \/>\nawards ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver on April 23. The<br \/>\njudging panels of the Critics Choice Awards in Metro Vancouver and<br \/>\nGreater Toronto have finished their tasting journey and summited their<br \/>\nballots to EY Canada for audition. The results will also be announced at<br \/>\nthe ceremony.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<br \/>\n<u>Winners of the Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards&nbsp; &#8211; Greater Vancouver<\/u><br \/>\n(20 awards in total) *new awards this year<\/p>\n<p>\n1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Best Wonton Noodles*<br \/>\nMaxNoodle House<br \/>\n#185-8291 Alexandra Road, Richmond (604) 231-8141<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Best Sichuan Boiled Beef*<br \/>\nS&amp;W Pepper House<br \/>\n#1812-4500 Kingsway, Burnaby (604) 451-3916<\/p>\n<p>\n3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Best Honey Garlic Spareribs*<br \/>\nBamboo Grove<br \/>\n6920 No.3 Road, Richmond (604) 278-9585<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Best Taiwanese Bubble Tea*<br \/>\nDragon Ball Tea House<br \/>\n1007 W.
