Singapore, July 2016 – The Michelin stars have arrived in the Lion City at last!  The Inaugural (First Edition) Michelin Guide for Singapore was released last night, and stars were awarded to a number of fine dining as well as hawker food restaurants.

The Michelin stars went to 29 establishments in Singapore.  Only one restaurant was awarded Three Michelin stars – Joel Robouchon at Resort World Sentosa.

The Straits Times published the list, see below and click here to read more about Singapore’s Michelin Guide.

Here are some of my personal favourites that were given the prestigious accolades.
