Here's a recollection of the inaugaral 2007 FoOTY Awards
It turned out to be a year when I didn't feel any particular vendor or eatery deserved to be BEST OF THE BEST across all categories, but three which deserved special mention for being exceptional are ... (drum roll) ...
(1) Tai-chau @ Song River Bak Kut Teh, Persiaran Gurney (Penang)
(2) Prawn Mee @ Lorong Loke Yew (KL)
(3) Taiwanese restaurant @ Fong Lye (Sri Hartamas)
