台湾鼎泰丰荣膺亚洲最佳餐厅A Taiwanese eatery famed for its dumplings was crowned Asias best restaurant, whilerestaurants in Beijing claimed the lions share of spots in the top ten of a new survey of the food-obsessed regions best dining.据路透社5月16日报道美国的美食网站“每日一餐”（The Daily Meal）于16日首次发布了“亚洲101家最佳餐厅”榜单，台湾小笼包专卖店鼎泰丰荣获亚洲最佳餐厅美誉，北京占据前十餐厅的半数席位。2013年4月6日，美国演员汤姆克鲁斯（左）与鼎泰丰老板杨纪华（右）手捧小笼包在台北101分店合影Din Tai Fung in Taipei was ranked number one in the inaugural 101 Best Restaurants in Asia list, released on Thursday by the U.S.-based food website The Daily Meal, which does similar polls in the United States and Europe.Ultimately we chose . a place best-known for doing one thing absolutely perfectly, said Colman Andrews, editorial director of The Daily Meal, adding that they were aware their selection of the restaurant, which has spun off into an international chain, would be controversial.Half of the top ten restaurants were in Beijing, with Duck de Chine - noted for its Peking duck - at second place, and the Chinese-style nouvelle cuisine（新式烹调） Green T. House at third.Our feeling is that Shanghai has had a good reputation as a restaurant city for some time, due both to a strong regional cuisine and the early incursions（入侵） of Western celebrity chefs . but that Beijing is definitely catching up, said Andrews.Its an imperfect analogy, but in a way the culinary contrast between the two mirrors that between New York City and Washington D.C. The former is more famous as a food city, but Washington increasingly offers serious competition - usually just with a little less fanfare.Food critics, writers and long-term foreign residents in Asia, among others, voted on a list of restaurants pulled together over a six-month nomination period, considering cuisine, style, value and overall buzz, to select the top 101.Beijings Temple Restaurant was fourth and Capital M, a modern Australian restaurant overlooking Tiananmen Square, was fifth. Another Beijing establishment, Dali Court, hit seventh.Varq, in the Indian capital New Delhi, came in sixth. The top ten was rounded out by Hong Kongs venerable Lung King Heen and Michel Bras TOYA, Japon, a Michelin three-star restaurant on Japans northernmost island of Hokkaido.Andrews said that Asias flourishing restaurant scene was developing some interesting new trends. Five Indian restaurants made the list, including one in Bangalore.India, indeed, will continue to develop in restaurant terms - and I hope not entirely through the efforts of the top hotel chains - but I also think South Korea shows great promise, and frankly Im surprised that more of its top restaurants didnt place on our list.The top Korean restaurant was The Byeokje Galbi in Seoul, which came in at 30.The list included restaurants in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Macau,South Korea, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.2
