The Miele Guide

I’ve spent the last couple of months working on a handful of projects.

Most of them don’t look like they have anything to do with each other, but they allow me to spend my time dealing with the things I love.

It must be apparent that one of my great passions is food, given how much I talk about food; I love all forms of it. Asia’s amazing variety of street food is my first love—nothing beats sitting in some hole in the wall somewhere in Syedpur, Bangladesh, eating rui (a fish; my fave part of Bengali food, a cuisine I heart to bits but get too little of) with my hands. But I also love, in equal amounts, restaurants. Fine dining, wine, the works.

So I did what any food lover would do. Get involved in an exciting food-related project. The Miele Guide, Asia’s first truly independent regional restaurant guide, has gone online. The site is fairly bare at the moment but will, from next month, play host to an online voting process which will help shape the contents of the upcoming publication. Big thanks to Aen and Uzyn, the wizards I hired to put this project online, and the rest of the Miele Guide team. That Michelin announced what it did yesterday only makes this space that much more exciting. :)

If you love food too, do please sign up at the site to be notified when voting begins.
