The list spotlights what we, the eating public, loves the most in Metro Vancouver when it comes to Chinese and Taiwanese fare, from soulful hot pot to fancy dim sum spots.

An impressive 35,219 votes were cast between February 5 and March 4 over multiple platforms.

New categories for the awards' 10th anniversary include Best Peking Duck, Best Shanghainese Stir Fry Egg White, Best Sichuan Mouthwatering Chicken, and Best Spring Rolls.

Those new categories join the standard array, which includes things like Best Hot Pot Restaurant, Best Hong Kong-style Café, Best Congee and Noodle Restaurant, Best Food Court Stall, Best New Restaurant, Best Cantonese Restaurant, Best Dim Sum Restaurant, and many more.
