As you know, for about 2 months I was out and about eating at many Chinese restaurants in Lower Mainland to help discover the best restaurants<\/a> for the Chinese Restaurant Awards. If you are following our Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a>feed you would see pictures of some of the places I visited, without leaving you a clue of what I thought about the food. Well, it\u2019s secret no more! Together with Sherman<\/a>, Chloe<\/a> and Jesse<\/a>, here are the results of the Food Bloggers\u2019 Choice Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My Tasting Journey<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

What a journey it was! Even though I was up for the challenge, I forgot that we are blessed with so many culinary talents in the region, which ultimately made judging difficult yet interesting. The four of us dined separately, and together, sometimes even went restaurant hopping in one evening\/afternoon to make sure we\u2019re covering our grounds. We discussed about what\u2019s considered an authentic way of cooking the dishes, shared our definition\/criteria for judging the awards, then had a friendly debate about our experiences at the nominated restaurants. It wasn\u2019t an easy decision when casting my votes, so I can only imagine the challenges faced by the food critics when judging the signature dishes! I truly enjoyed the company and was inspired to continue to improve and be a better food blogger. For some of the restaurants, I will be writing a detailed post soon. Meanwhile, here are just some highlights of my tasting journey:<\/p>\n

Winners of the Critics\u2019 Choice Signature Dish Awards<\/a> as well as the Diners\u2019 Choice Awards<\/a> were also announced. Congratulations to all the winners! You can visit the Chinese Restaurant Awards\u2019 website<\/a> for the full winner list.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re so lucky to be living in this region, having access to all these high-quality Chinese restaurants serving a wide variety of Chinese regional dishes. This whole experience was very inspiring, and I know I\u2019ll continue to go out and discover the stars and hidden gems in Chinese cuisine.<\/p>\n
