Call us surprised, and very flattered -- Saveur magazine has nominated EatingAsia in two categories (Best Culinary Blog and Best Special Interest Blog) in its First Annual Food Blog Awards.
We're up against some pretty formidable competition, so if you're so inclined please hop over the the Saveur Food Blog Awards page and vote. If you're not registered with saveur.com already you'll need to do so before voting. (Warning: the captcha can be fierce. You may need to reload several times to get through security.)
Winners will be announced in April. Thanks to the folks at Saveur -- and a hearfelt 'Cheers' everyone who's ever visited EatingAsia and returned. You are one of the reasons we keep doing what we do here.
Like green better than yellow (reminds me of Homer Simpson), like to look right for info than both sides (perhaps I am Chinese and right handed), EatingAs ia a little big (but glad that I've got good eyesights)
Having say all these, Hey, it's your blog, if you are happy, that's all it matters! :-)

Congrats on the nomination, well deserved and am very happy and proud of you.
Congrats on the updated design, too. Just one suggestion, a complete redesign of the masthead (with different graphic or even a new logo) will give it a completely different look, if you like. Just my sincere opinion.

Hi Robyn & Dave
A well-deserved nomination. Hope your blog will be the eventual winner. Like your masthead as it is. Very authentic, very asian.
Good luck

I saw that on Saveur. Very happy to hear that!! You deserve it.

Thanks everyone for the congrats.
Rasa, we're working on that. But as you can see from MK's post some want the old masthead! Can't please everyone, I guess.
Diane-- thanks much for the compliment, and for reading.

Dear Robyn and Dave,
felt compelled to drop a note. Your blog is wonderful. I don't know much abt design and all that but your posts make even someone like me, born and bred in SE Asia, sit up and notice. Good, knowledgeable writing and such evocative photos. For me, the best part is how you manage to capture ambiance so well - i can smell the food, i can hear the sounds,i can feel the place. I like to think it stems from your sympathy for the region. You do it proud. Thanks for all the posts and keep up the good work!
