The Sassy Mama Best Of Hong Kong Reader Award Winners 2019

Drum roll please…

You voted in your thousands and now it’s finally time to reveal our reader award winners 2019. But firstly we want to thank you (our readers) for taking the time to tell us all about your favourite family-friendly places and brands in the city we call home. As expected, the voting was extremely close, so a huge congratulations to all of our winners!

We will of course be having a huge party to celebrate, so winners hang tight as we’ll be sharing details of the event with you very soon! We’ll also be in touch with a logo and graphics you can use to formally recognise your well-deserved achievement.

Every reader who cast a vote will also be entered into a draw to win a pair of tickets to the big bash, so stand by for that announcement too. Speaking of winners, congratulations to Dawn Aquino who won our amazing giveaway, which was a two-night stay at Baan Benjamart, a luxury villa in Koh Samui (courtesy of The Luxe Nomad, Asia Pacific’s leading online luxury villa booking portal and property manager).
