2010 Best of Taipei Restaurants 3rd Annual Readers' Favorites Poll!




It's nearing the end of the year and I figure if I give you guys a head start in voting then I can have a head start in tabulating and researching and writing and then hopefully we can have the results out in January 2011 (eek!) rather than early spring! haha. Now with Facebook and Twitter and more of you reading, I'm hoping more of you will vote!! Copy and paste the area below, fill in the ones you want to vote for and paste in the comments section. If you need a refresher, check out last year's faves.

VOTING

Voting will be open from November 5th - December 3rd, 2010. 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.

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. (Thanks to Booyah for recommending Google Surveys- I'm giving it a try!) Just fill out the boxes underneath with your answer and hit submit at the end.

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 hope to announce the winners with a write up in January 2011 (fingers crossed!).
