Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 Winners and Results

It was a great evening with free flow champagne, wine, beer and finger food in KL Pac Sentul for the Time Out KL Food Awards 2011. This was my first time attending the award show after missing the first few.

Interesting enough, this year’s nominees for the awards are broader than previous years. There are hawkers to fine dining restaurants and it is interesting to know who will prevail as winners.

This is also the first year Time Out KL inviting bloggers to participate in the award show. We are one of them, nominating Lot 10 Hutong for the Best Hawker category.

On top of having a great time there, we were also delighted to see old friends and we did a lot of catch up there. There were also a number of familiar faces from restaurant owners and media friends.

Dominic Lau and Daphne Iking run the show, a short and funny award show. After thousands have voted, we were also as anxious as the rest. The winners and the results of Time Out KL Food Awards 2011 are as below:
