Michelin Guide Singapore 2018 – Five Restaurants Received Their Very First Michelin Star!

Live Reporting: Nathaneal & Yun Xin

Michelin unveils the list of restaurants that has been awarded one or more stars in the Michelin Guide Singapore 2018. With a total of 39 starred restaurants, including 5 new 1-star restaurants, this third edition sees how Michelin has become extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the dynamism and rich cultural heritage of the local food scene.

Just launched at Resorts World Sentosa, the latest edition of the MICHELIN Guide Singapore sees Burnt Ends, Nouri, Sushi Kimura, Ma Cuisine and Jiang-Nan Chun, receiving their very first Michelin stars.

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.
