The votes have been cast, the ballots have been counted and the winners have been notified. The Think Readers' Choice Awards are all but complete. Only one task remains: Handing out the awards. As you peruse the winners on the following pages, we encourage you to not just flip through this section to see how many of the names on your ballot ended up in first place, but to pause on those categories that were won by a business or service you didn't vote for. It is within these categories that horizons are broadened, community awareness is piqued and genuine personal enrichment can be found. And who knows, you just might find a new favourite for next year's voting. If you're hungry, start with your DINING WINNERS, where you have identified the Singapore's best eateries in over 35 categories. After dinner, you may want to unwind. Your NIGHTLIFE CHAMPIONS offer you plenty of entertainment options, from the Best Karaoke Bar to the Best Beer Selection to the Best Happy Hour. You may also learn a thing or two about having a good time with your ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT MEDALISTS, and your selections for the GOODS & SERVICES VICTORS will offer valuable insight on the best places to buy everything from lingerie to antiques. Enjoy.

 Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant 27 West Coast Highway #01-18/19 YESS Centre, Tel (65) 6464 0872 Why They Won: Korean BBQ is a specialty around the world, yet few who claim authenticity actually achieve it. Ju Shun Jung is famous for for it's beef, of which there are more or less two options for the beef: seasoned (bulgolgi) or plain. The set which we ordered consists of three different types of plain meat - rib, sirloin and brisket - and a few slices of ox tongue. The quality of the meat is fantastic! The sirloin is the best, extremely juicy when cooked to medium. Unlike lots of BBQs, Ju Shin Jung's BBQs have exhaust slits lining the side of the cooking pit. They suck out the fumes, providing for a less annoying BBQ due to the reduced smoke. House Specialty: The egg-and-beef-rib soup is really, really tasty! Bet You Didn't Know: Korean BBQ is far from traditional in Korea, up until 50 years ago, the average Korean Joe couldn't even afford any meat, so Korean beef recipes were rather few and undeveloped!
