Now we just need Singapore to open up

Michelin has unveiled this year’s Bib Gourmand selection for the 2021 edition of the Michelin Guide Singapore, which highlights a total of 69 venues including 12 new entries.

This year’s list of 69 venues – 11 more than in 2019 – spans a mix of restaurants, street food establishments, and hawker stalls.

Of these, 12 are new entries on the Bib Gourmand selection. They join the growing ranks of establishments nominated by Michelin inspectors that offer diners very good value for money, with a complete and high-quality menu priced at a maximum of S$45 (US$33).

The new entrants to the Bib Gourmand selection include three restaurants and nine hawker stalls. Among the new restaurants, Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee (Killiney) serves prawn noodle soup and fried prawn bee hoon that diners can customise with a variety of noodles and sizes ranging from regular to XXL. Kotuwa (Jalan Besar) offers hoppers and seafood-focused dishes by a chef-owner of Sri Lankan heritage, while The Coconut Club (Ann Siang) enriches coconut-centric dishes such as nasi lemak with Malaysia-imported coconuts for extra flavour and authenticity.

In addition, the nine hawker establishments offer a span of iconic Singaporean fare such as bak kut teh, laksa, and sliced fish soup. They include Fei Fei Roasted Noodle and Heng Heng Cooked Food in Yuhua Village Market and Food Centre; Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh and Soh Kee Cooked Food in Jurong West 505 Market & Food Centre; Lai Heng Handmade Teochew Kueh (Yuhua Market & Hawker Centre), Hainan Zi (Chong Pang Market and Food Centre), Joo Siah Bak Koot Teh (Kai Xiang Food Centre), Jun Yuan House Of Fish (Old Airport Road Food Centre), and Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge (Newton Food Centre).

In total, this year’s selection features 42 hawker stalls, six street food establishments and 21 restaurants that front a range of cuisines.

The 2021 edition of the Michelin Guide Singapore will be published only in digital form on Michelin Guide’s official website and mobile app.
