Inaugural Singapore Michelin Guide hails 17 hawker stalls with Bib Gourmand awards

It covers a range of 19 different cuisines.

Michelin’s inaugural Singapore Michelin Guide has awarded 17 local hawker stalls with the Bib Gourmand award.

According to a media release by Michelin, longstanding favorites like New Bridge Road’s Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, Maxwell Road Food Centre’s Tian Tian Chicken Rice and Whampoa Market Place’s Balestier Road Hoover Rojak make the list.

In total, the Singapore Michelin Guide hails 34 Singapore restaurants and street food outlets distinguished with a Bib Gourmand. This distinction picks out establishments offering a high quality menu at a “reasonable” price, which Michelin specifies should come no higher than $45.

The list spans street food to more traditional restaurants and stalls in popular hawker centres offering local and Asian cuisine. Overall, the list covers 19 styles, including Indian, Cantonese, and even Vietnamese.

“A true crossroads, a mix of cultures with Chinese, Malaysian and Indonesian influences, Singapore’s history is reflected in its cuisine—the variety, simplicity and authenticity completely won over our inspectors,” shares Michael Ellis, Michelin Guides’ International Director.

So with 19 styles represented, including Indian, Cantonese, and even Vietnamese, the first Bib Gourmand selection is testimony to the richness and diversity of the city’s culinary landscape.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
