Making the Cut

Hello,

Singapore might seem like an expensive country for dining out, but if you look a little closer, you’ll discover many options offering delicious dishes at wallet-friendly prices. This brings us to Michelin Guide Singapore’s Bib Gourmand list, which celebrates exceptional gourmet experiences at moderate prices.

The 2024 list was revealed yesterday, with a total of 81 establishments, up from last year’s total selection of 79. Nine of these are brand new entries, while the other two have been bumped up from the Michelin Selected category.

It’s not difficult to compile a list of dining options in Singapore, thanks to its vibrant hawker culture and accessible prices—something Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide, greatly appreciates. He highlights the “integral” role of hawker centers in our “everyday life” as a “microcosm of [Singapore’s] multi-ethnic society.” Poullennec notes that this year's list, which features rich cultural traditions in both new establishments and long-serving heritage hawkers, reflects the dynamic and diverse smorgasbord of eateries in the casual and hawker category.

Tatler Tidbit

Singapore’s hottest new restaurant is nowhere near the city centre—it’s all the way in Jurong. Na Oh, located at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Centre Singapore, is a collaboration between Hyundai Motor Group and chef Corey Lee, who is behind three-Michelin-starred Benu in San Francisco. Here, you can enjoy elegant yet approachable Korean delicacies in a four-course prix-fixe menu, including favourites such as samgyetang, naengmyun and mulhwe, made from produce harvested from the centre’s own vertical farm.
