PRESS RELEASE
MICHELIN is pleased to unveil the selection of restaurants and street food establishments awarded with a Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019. This year, 58 establishments of the city-state are being recognised with the distinction. The Bib Gourmand category was created in 1997 and granted by MICHELIN’s inspectors to the addresses that offer diners very good value for money, with a complete and high quality menu priced at a maximum of SG$45. The 12 new Bib Gourmands in this selection reflect the ongoing development of Singapore’s gastronomy.
In a country where street food is an institution, it’s not surprising to find numerous Hawker stalls (33 are awarded with a Bib Gourmand) and street food establishments (6 Bib Gourmands) in this selection. These open-air stalls serve a variety of inexpensive food that highlight the heritage of a unique culinary tradition and offer a traditional food experience with a variety of tasty flavours. Spicy curries, seafood soups, roast meats and offal dishes are some favourites found in these places.
19 restaurants, two more than last year, also receive the Bib Gourmand recognition. Serving food inspired by Indian, Malay or Chinese influences, these addresses showcase the diversity of Singapore’s cuisine as a crossroads of flavours.
Here are the 12 new Bib Gourmands honored : Anglo Indian (Shenton Way), Beach Road Fish Head Bee Hoon (Whampoa Makan Place), Bedok Chwee Kueh (Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre), Chef Kang’s Noodle House, Chen’s Mapo Tofu, Fu Ming Cooked Food (Redhill Food Centre), Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow (Ghim Moh Market and Food Centre), Hjh Maimunah (Jalan Pisang), Hock Hai (Hong Lim) Curry Chicken Noodle (Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre), Indocafe – The White House, Koh Brother Pig’s Organ Soup (Tiong Bahru Market) and To-Ricos Guo Shi (Old Airport Road Food Centre).
In its fourth edition this year, the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2019 and its complete selection featuring the MICHELIN starred restaurants will be unveiled on 17th of September at the historically rich Capella Singapore.
