Geographical Coverage
The first printed edition of the Miele Guide was published at the end of October 2008.[4] The 16 Asian countries evaluated by the Miele Guide in the first edition are: Brunei, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong and Macau), India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Judging Process
Each year's list of restaurants to be featured in the printed edition of the Miele Guide was compiled through four rigorous rounds of judging. In the initial round, the publishers worked with respected food critics at top magazines and newspapers across Asia, called the "shortlisting jury"[5] to create a shortlist of restaurants for all the countries to be surveyed. In the second round, voting opens to the public on the website. In the third round, a special jury of more than 2000 food lovers and food and wine professionals cast their votes in a closed round of voting. In the final round, the Miele Guide's team, together with contributing editors across Asia, verify the results by dining anonymously and independently, before the final list of restaurants is compiled.[6]
Judges are not paid for their efforts.[7]
Top 20 List
A key feature of the printed edition of the Miele Guide is the Top 20 restaurants in Asia list. The restaurants that emerge in the top 20 from the combined rounds of judging are featured and profiled in-depth. The top 20 restaurants are listed with a detailed description on the Guide's website.[8]
