The Miele Guide is a project of Aun Koh (Chubby Hubby ) and wife S. from Singapore. The Miele Guide aims to be Asia’s first truly independent regional restaurant guide. The Miele Guide will evaluate restaurants in 16 Asian countries—Brunei, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

This project came about as most restaurant guides are western-centric. The Miele Guide will put together a list of the best restaurants from the region. In the first round, the restaurants are shortlisted by Asia’s top restaurant critics. The second round of evaluation depends on our participation so vote now!
Each voter has 10 votes with 3 votes allowed from the home country. Help promote the Philippine’s culinary excellence and vote.
Just take note that a visa card is required to register. Upon registration, the form requires the first six digits of your visa card. Some people might get apprehensive about this but it should be safe as it’s only the first six digits.
Voting is open from now until July 31, 2008 at www.mieleguide.com
In the Philippines, I voted for Lolo Dad’s, Antonio’s and Cafe Juanita. What’s your vote?

The all selling point of the guide is its independent voting system.
I have been disappointed to find that loads of the restaurants receiving high scores are all in HYATT hotels, which the miele guide admits is one of their main sponsor. independent? yeah right!

Hi JohnTurnip : That’s a very interesting comment you’ve made. I haven’t seen a copy of the miele guide yet so I can’t comment on how many of the Hyatt restaurants they have included. It would be a shame though if the restaurants were included just because of sponsorship since I would be hoping for an independent review of places.
