Make this year the year you vote for the Chinese Restaurant Awards, or at least get out and try the winners once they are announced. \u00a0We’ve still failed miserably at that task, but let this be the year! \u00a0GLV<\/div>\n

The Chinese Restaurant Awards kick-start 2014 with the goal of elevating and refining the much-loved authoritative dinning guide. After five years of success, the Chinese Restaurant Awards continue to develop exciting new programs that encourage aficionados to explore deeper into the ever-changing Chinese culinary scene in Metro Vancouver and Greater Toronto and challenge the well-honed palates of food critics to recommend the best signature dishes in 2014.<\/div>\n

\u201cAs the forerunner of promoting Chinese cuisine in Canada, we have dedicated ourselves in staying up-to-date with the industry, both at home and abroad,\u201d said Craig Stowe, Chinese Restaurant Awards\u2019 Founding Director. \u201cWe\u2019ve been persistent at bringing the public a well-rounded dinning guide that highlights the cr\u00e8me-de-la-cr\u00e8me in the past five years. The public\u2019s phenomenal support has pushed us to raise our game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This year, the categories of Diners\u2019 Choice Awards in Greater Vancouver have expanded from 18 to 20, including six new awards: Best Wonton Noodles, Best Honey Garlic Spareribs, Best Sichuan Boiled Beef, Best Bubble Tea, Best Egg Tart, and Best Service Restaurant. The public is invited to nominate their favourites from February\u00a0 3 to 9 and vote for the best from February 10 to March 9 on www.ChineseRestaurantAwards.com\u00a0 The results will be announced on March 10.<\/p>\n

Many diners had written to the Chinese Restaurant Awards requesting the return of Best Service Restaurant in 2014. Their candid experiences make them the most qualified critics for the category. They are also very enthusiastic about voting for each year\u2019s new selected dishes based on regions, popularity, and ingredients. Wonton noodles, for example, have been a popular comfort food in Guangzhou since the late Qing Dynasty (1890s). It is one of the most recognizable Cantonese dishes outside China, yet only the most skilled chef can perfect the combination of soup, wonton, and noodles. Sichuan Boiled Beef, developedby the late master chef Fan Ji-an in the 1930s, is equally challenging to recreate: poaching thinly sliced beef to perfection in a spicy aromatic broth looks easier said than done. Honey Garlic Spareribs is a Canadian invention that one rarely finds on a menu in China. Bubble tea and egg tarts are popular delights that have been satisfying the sweet tooth of Vancouverites.<\/p>\n

The Chinese Restaurant Awards also have taken a drastic step in reducing the twenty-five best signature dishes of Critics\u2019 Choice Signature Dish Awards to ten. Vancouver-based food critics Stephen Wong, Lee Man, Brendon Mathews, and Foodie Yau have been the Awards\u2019 leading judges for many years, and they have taken on the new mission to select the spectacular from the best. Handed with a set of new rules, the Vancouver judging panel has began a rigorous tasting journey since the summer of 2013.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Critics\u2019 Choice Signature Dish Awards were introduced in Greater Toronto, based on the growing demand of Chinese food in major Canadian cities. After receiving positive feedback from the public, the Chinese Restaurant Awards will once again team up with Toronto-based food critics Jen Chan, Jennifer Kwan, Ren\u00e9e S. Suen, and Charles Yu to search for the 10 best signature dishes. Winners of the Critics\u2019 Choice Signature Dish Awards for both cities will be announced on April 23 in a glittering awards ceremony at Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver.<\/p>\n
