It'a that time of year again! I had a lot of fun finding out what your favorite eats in Taipei were last year and I'm hoping more readers will share this year. Copy and paste the area below, fill in the ones you want to vote for and paste in the comments section.
I've added a few fun categories that I hope you guys will participate in... I know some of you are visitors, so you can share what you miss when you're not here!
VOTING
Voting will be open from November 24th - December 26th. There must be a minimum of 5 categories filled out (with different restaurants) in order for the vote to be counted. For example, you cannot fill out the same restaurant in 3 categories and nothing else. But if you really love that restaurant, vote for it in the applicable 3 categories and fill out 4 other categories, then it will count.
I changed it from "best" to "favorite" because some people told me it was too much pressure to declare something the "best" when they hadn't eaten everything. It's okay if you haven't tried everywhere in Taipei! No one has. It does not have to be a restaurant I've reviewed. So just vote for your favorites!
You don't have to have a google account to vote. Just pick the "name" or "anonymous" option and put in your first name or initials if you don't want to put in your name.
Also feel free to campaign for your restaurant or favorite eatery on Facebook, Twitter or your website with a link to this page. But only votes on this post will count.
I will tabulate and announce the winners by January 15th, 2010 (fingers crossed!).

HGirl, congrats and excellent job!
I like the categories and I want to
suggest that the awards can go with 30 categories in the future
10 diff. nationalities
10 food types (dessert/bakery)
5 fun situation
5 important ones (best new, best value, best service, best find, best overall)
jeff;
I like your list. (aside from the Mos burger but you got me back at BK). lol.
If you like Villa 32, the VVGs, Saffron, Eddy's, and Saveur, you should check out Papa Gio and Masa to replace your pizza and sushi/sashimi choices respectively.
If you really want to blow your socks off go to "el toro". I haven't seen Joan review them so maybe I am the only one that has mentioned it here but it will boggle your mind that we have this level in Taipei.
Villa 32 for unmatched ambiance, El Toro for unequaled great food and incredible presentation.
Happy eating and thanks Joan!
thanks Taiwan for Life and Jeff!
elektronisk: i went to El Toro once, for lunch, but Chef Daniel didn't cook the meal (he was working at a table near by and took a meeting outside) and they didn't have paella (has to be preordered) so I figure I need to go for dinner once when he's cooking to give it a fair review. Heard really great things about it. I do want to try Masa and Papa Gio! thanks!!
Here are some of my current favorites:
Favorite Western Breakfast/Brunch: The Diner
Favorite Romantic Restaurant: L'Idiot
Favorite Buffet: Spring Natural Vegetarian Restaurant (http://www.springfood.com.tw/)
Favorite Night Market: Shida Night Market has my heart
Favorite Restaurant to take Tourist Friends: Din Tai Fung. They always want to go there and are never disappointed!
Favorite Delivery: Chicago's Pizza
Favorite Food Court: Taipei 101
Favorite Japanese Restaurant: A-Plus Sushi or Rainbow Roll in Sogo Tianmu
Favorite Sushi/Sashimi: same as above
Favorite Italian Restaurant: Papa Gio'
Favorite Mexican/TexMex/Spanish Restaurant: La Casita
Best Beef Noodle Soup: Niu Gong Gong at the corner of Jinshan S Rd and Xinyi Rd has pretty good beef
Best Xiao Long Bao： Din Tai Fung or Kao Chi
Best Dim Sum: City Star
Best Hamburger: KGB
Best Vegetarian: Olife near Shida Park
Best Desserts: Chocoholic, Henry & Cary Chocolates, Is Taiwan, Is Chocolate, Papa Bubble, VVG Bon Bon (can you tell I'm a sugar fiend?)
Best Shaved Ice: Ice Monster
Best Coffee/Tea shop: I'm not a big caffeine drinker, but I like Ecole or Insomnia for ambiance.
Favorite Food I Miss When I'm Away From Taipei: Organ meats that I can buy by the side of the road!
Favorite Food That Needs to Be Brought To Taipei: Ethiopian
Favorite Restaurant that Needs to Open a Branch in Taipei: Any good Ethiopian restaurant.
I wanted to add a recommendation for El Toro. If you go there on weekdays, the restaurant is less busy, or you can call ahead and let them know you want Chef Daniel to cook for you. I know he's been busy with several projects recently (including a recently published cookbook), but he's very friendly and accomodating. The food there is excellent!
Favorite Mexican/TexMex/Spanish Restaurant: El Gallo, Tianmu
Best Pizza: Alleycat's
Best Steak: Ruth's Chris
