Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2014 - Singapore Wins 8 out of 50

Probably best described as a dining edition of The Oscars, the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2014 ceremony, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna and organised by William Reed Business Media, concluded last evening with some surprises and plenty of cheer.

Singapore clinched 8 out of the 50 available spots, with Restaurant André at No. 6, also The S.Pellegrino Best Restaurant in Singapore for the second consecutive year, and chef-owner André Chiang earning the respected Chefs’ Choice Award.

Other Singapore highlights include Janice Wong's 2nd consecutive Asia's Best Pastry Chef win, Tippling Club's debut at No. 23, Jaan rising to No. 17 and Raffles Hotel's Shinji by Kanesaka (No.35)'s amazing victory over Sukiyabashi Jiro of 'Jiro Dreams Of Sushi' (No. 38).
