The Michelin Guide announced its 2023 Bib Gourmand Singapore list, with 79 dining establishments making the latest cut.
This year’s winners included a diverse mix of 21 restaurants, 53 hawker centre stalls, and 5 street food establishments. The total number was a significant increase from 2022’s selection, which had 67 entries.
Among the 19 new entrants, two restaurants receive a Bib Gourmand recognition. Kok Sen has been featured on the Michelin Guide before, but the tze char restaurant moved into a new premise on the same road in 2022. It is joined by The Coconut Club, which serves its special coconut milk blend in dishes like nasi lemak and kueh.
The 17 newly-awarded hawker stalls include Adam Rd Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle, Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari, and Bahrakath Mutton Soup, all located at Adam Food Centre. Jurong-based Du Du Shou Shi was recognised for its spring, aromatic putu piring, while Ji De Lai at Chong Pang Market and Food Centre was promoted to Bib Gourmand for its reasonably priced chicken rice sets.
“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 international director of the Michelin Guide, Gwendal Poullennec. “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.”
