Here's some updates for AFFA! Voting has been open for a week with about 12 more days to go. Some of the favourites have some serious contenders in their category so far. In the Best Kopitiam Category, whilst local favourite Yut Kee is in the lead, the past few days have seen its position threatened into second place a few times by another much younger well known kopitiam seller. In the Nasi Lemak Category, Tanglin is behind two serious contenders (not far though). Village Park is fighting with someone who we never thought were a serious player for top spots. So all nasi lemak fans, cast your vote now. Perhaps an upset is in the progress.

The other two hotly contested categories are crabs and char koay teow. It looks like favourite Steven at Nam Chuan's top spot is also is fiercely being contested by a PJ stall that also has been around for more than 20 years. Will the best experienced CKT seller win in the end? We'll just have to see. Over in the crab category, can Fatty Crab claim that they are still the 'King Crab' of the lot?

Twelve more days to go! Get them votes in guys!
