This goes to show how much people in the Lower Mainland care about Chinese cuisine.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSince the launch of the 2011 HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards at the end of September, the dining public have been discussing the merits of various Chinese restaurants; with a lot of &lsquo;buzz&rsquo; generated through social media as well as on many food web sites and blogs. &ldquo;We welcome the discussions, &ldquo; says Founding Judging Panel Chair Stephen Wong. &ldquo;One of the best things about the Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards is that since the public nominate the restaurants, I always learn about some new place I hadn&rsquo;t heard of before. With more than 600 Chinese restaurants in the Lower Mainland, no one person can know them all. The Diners&rsquo; Choice Awards are a great referral system to what is currently excellent.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSome of the races were won by perennial favourites &ndash; for instance HK BBQ Master won the Best BBQ category for the third year in a row. This Richmond gem is widely acclaimed for the excellence of its barbecue meats. Other categories were hotly contested with less than a handful of votes separating the winner from the second place finishers. &ldquo;Such finishes go to show how incredibly fortunate we are to have such a wealth of great Chinese restaurants,&rdquo; comments Mr. Stowe.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDiners&rsquo; Choice Award winners will receive their awards at the 2011 HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards ceremony on January 18, 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 2011 HSBC Chinese Restaurant Awards wishes to thank title sponsor HSBC Bank Canada and the following sponsors who help to make these awards possible:<br \/>\nTourism Richmond, Remy Martin, Mercedes Benz, Quintessentially Canada, Amoy Food limited, Tsit Wing Group, Underwater Harvesters&rsquo;
