July 21, 2016
LIVE REPORTING : Maureen & Mu Qin
The first Michelin Singapore guide was launched at Resorts World Convention Centre tonight, highlighting the best places to hole up and indulge in the world’s most highly rated city for gastronomy.
This prestigious annual guidebook sets a standard of excellence with its star rankings and Bib Gourmand selections. The rigorous selection process behind the Michelin Guide considers five key elements: 1) product quality; 2) preparation and flavors; 3) the chef’s personality as revealed through his or her cuisine; 4) value for money; and 5) consistency over time and across the entire menu.
Stars apply only to ‘what is on the plate’ and are awarded solely for the quality of the cooking.
· Three stars mean exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.
· Two stars mean excellent cooking, worth a detour.
· One star means a very good restaurant in its category.
