Singapore gets 19 new value-for-money eateries on Michelin list
THE MICHELIN GUIDE has named 19 new eateries on the Bib Gourmands, its value-for-money list, in Singapore.
There are 79 names on the list in total versus 67 last year, Michelin said in a statement Thursday last week. Two of the new entries are restaurants, while 17 are hawker stalls. The Bib Gourmand category, which was created in 1997, is granted by Michelin’s inspectors to places that offer diners very good value for money on a gourmet experience.
New names include The Coconut Club restaurant that features regional specialty nasi lemak and Kok Sen, which offers dishes including prawn paste chicken. Hawker-center stall newcomers to the list include Beach Road Fish Head Bee Hoon in the Whampoa Market Place, Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari in the Adam Food Centre, and Ji De Lai Hainanese Chicken Rice in the Chong Pang Market and Food Centre.
“The inspection team has discovered a great number of hawker stalls with flavorsome dishes from different ethnic groups, each with their own secret recipes,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide, in the statement. “Beyond taste, these gems are also an inheritance of culture, which serves as a strong positioning of Singapore’s cuisine to both locals and tourists.” — Bloomberg
