Organised by AsiaOne, Singapore’s leading internet portal, the award recognises outstanding achievements and successful branding of products across industries in Asia. Nominations were made by thousands of AsiaOne’s fans and visitors from 8 October to 31 October 2009 across 25 categories. The final results were decided by distinguished industry professionals and editorial veterans from SPH publications and based entirely on the popularity votes cast.
The winners can truly be proud of their achievements which further affirmed the opinion of a high-calibre audience who visits the AsiaOne portal. Patrick Fiat, General Manager, and Abraham Tan, Executive Culinary Chef, of Royal Plaza on Scotts, received the Best Buffet Restaurant Award from the Guest-of-Honour, Ms Jessica Tan, Chairperson of Group
Parliamentary Committee, Finance and Trade & Industry on Wednesday, 29 March 2010, at a ceremony held at the auditorium of News Centre, Singapore Press Holdings.
Said Fiat, “Every detail of Carousel was designed with the guests in mind, which are essential ingredients of success. For us, the People’s Choice Award is a seal of approval. 3 years after being selected as the Best Buffet Restaurant by The Straits Times, it is heartening for the team to be reassured of our continued efforts to provide the best quality buffet and service level in the restaurant. The challenge for us now will be to maintain the honour and continue to re-invent ourselves based on guests’ feedback.
Mr Adrian Tay, Editor, AsiaOne, said: “The selection panel took into account feedback from the public & their own views to come out with the shortlist, but after that, we left it to the voting public to decide. So the final decision was really that of our readers and people who think Carousel is their choice. Through the recognition and publicity generated by People’s Choice Awards, AsiaOne hopes to work with trade partners to encourage the continuity of high quality and best practices maintained by these brand names.”
