Two street food<\/a> favourites are set to represent the country on an even bigger stage after taking top honours at this year\u2019s Scottish Street Food Awards 2025.<\/p>\n Smoked Tamago, known for its contemporary Japanese-Korean dishes, was crowned Scottish Street Food Award Champion, while Fire Bowl, specialists in fiery East Asian fusion, scooped the People\u2019s Choice Award.<\/p>\n Both will now head to London in September to compete in the British Street Food Awards, with the chance to reach the European final in Munich this October.<\/p>\n Smoked Tamago wowed the judges with its signature seaweed Tamagoyaki, a fluffy Japanese rolled egg, and a Korean-style rice burger.<\/p>\n Headlining a line-up of nine finalists, each trader presented their two best dishes to a formidable panel, including Sam Yorke, Head Chef at Michelin-starred Heron; Jo Laidlaw, Food & Drink Editor at The List Edinburgh<\/a>; musician Callum Easter; Gaby Soutar, restaurant critic at The Scotsman; Navida Galbraith, Head of Ops and Programme at The Pitt; and British Street Food Awards founder Richard Johnson.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always hope to find something completely different and new when judging these awards and that\u2019s exactly what Smoked Tamago served up,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n \u201cThe unique mix of sweet, savoury and smokiness in the Tamagoyaki was incredible, and all of the judges agreed the rice burger was a revelation.\u201d<\/p>\n Smoked Tamago has a history of breaking new ground. After introducing Tamagoyaki to the Hong Kong street food scene in 2016, where it quickly became a sensation, the team relocated to Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since then, they\u2019ve built a loyal following through pop-ups and events, with regular appearances at Errol Sunday Market and the Leith Walk Police Box. With every made-to-order roll, they\u2019re on a mission to spread \u201cthe gospel of the mighty Tamagoyaki\u201d.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Fire Bowl, based at The Pitt, impressed enough eaters to take the People\u2019s Choice award. Their chicken skewers were hailed by judges as \u201csome of the best ever tasted\u201d.<\/p>\n The street food <\/a>stall was born from a trip across East Asia, where founders Andie and Euan ate their way from Seoul to Osaka. Today, Fire Bowl blends those inspirations with Scottish flair, from donburi bowls and yakitori skewers to Highland beef with whisky tare and their signature \u201cneep\u201d kimchi.<\/p>\n Dumpling Mama took second place in the overall Best in Scotland award, with beautifully crafted dumplings that the judges described as \u201cexquisitely presented and perfectly balanced\u201d.<\/p>\n Serving up a mix of Cantonese flavours and creative global twists, including Mexican Cowboy dumplings and even Banana and Nutella, Dumpling Mama prides itself on its handmade approach and vibrant recipes passed down through generations.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_WACOMMUNITYQR3.jpg\")
