(Vancouver, BC \u2013 February 1st, 2016) \u2013 The votes are in and the people have spoken. More than 34,100 votes were cast by eager diners for this year\u2019s Peoples\u2019 Choice Awards at the Chinese Restaurant Awards. The results were tabulated and audited by Jacqueline Lai, CPA.<\/p>\n
Some of the outcomes could be considered foregone conclusions \u2013 such as the perennial winner of the \u2018Best BBQ Shop\u2019 category \u2013 Richmond\u2019s H.K. BBQ Master, who has won the category every year since the beginning. Other returning winners include:<\/p>\n

\n\u2018Best Food Court Stall\u2019 – Bubble Waffle Caf\u00e9 with 3 locations in Metro Vancouver<\/p>\n
There are also quite a few new names in the winners\u2019 circle – restaurants that have opened fairly recently and have quickly become favourites \u2013 Memory Garden, Mango Yummy and Kongee Dinesty are among the first-time winners this year.<\/p>\n
Another new aspect of this year\u2019s awards was the introduction of \u2018Iconic Dishes\u2019 to the Diners\u2019 Choice Awards. These are regional dishes that were chosen by our Social Media Judges because their preparation is iconic to a particular place. We asked voters to try them and engage in online discussions about the merits, history and execution of each dish and vote for their favourite interpretation of it. The response was overwhelmingly positive. People love to discuss their food and share \u2018find\u2019s and \u2018faves.\u2019 The five Iconic Dishes are:<\/p>\n
Sichuan – Water-Boiled Fish
\nTaiwan – Braised Pork Rice
\nHong Kong – Roast Duck (one of the most hotly debated categories)
\nShanghai – Drunken Chicken
\nSouth China – Mango Sago<\/p>\n
All the winners will be invited to the Awards Ceremony at River Rock Show Theatre on Wednesday, March 2nd. And now, the news you\u2019ve all been waiting for, the 2016 Chinese Restaurant Awards Diners\u2019 Choice Awards \u2013 the envelope please.<\/p>\n
