In the lead up to the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021 virtual awards ceremony this Thursday, the 50 Best team today announced a separate list of restaurants voted between the 51st and 100th spots for the first time.
Presented in association with S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, the 51-100 list aims to spotlight a wider range of noteworthy establishments across the region. The inaugural list features eateries “that will inspire food lovers as they consider their future dining and travel plans” – highlighting countries across the Asian region, from India to Malaysia, Mainland China to the Philippines.
While Dewakan did not make the cut for top 50 after breaking through the list for the first and only time in 2019, the modern Malaysian restaurant remains the top local establishment to be recognised by the international awards at the 66th spot. Meanwhile, Penang’s Gen debuts at the 92nd spot and Nadodi squeezes in at the 99th spot – making up a total of three Malaysian establishments on the list.
