I have ordered my personal copy of Singapore Michelin Guide 2016 and waiting for it to arrive. I know some people says isn't it silly to order when the information will be available online? Well, I have the early versions of Makan Sutra Guide, Miele Guide and why not at least a copy of Michelin Guide too? I love reading from paper is my answer.
It's one week before the official launch of the Singapore version of the Guide and they have released the names of restaurants and street food outlets in Singapore that has been awarded the "Bib Gourmand". It's what the 'Michelin Inspectors' have regarded as very good and the price range is lower than the restaurants that have the 'stars'. In Singapore the price is below $45. (In Hong Kong, it's below HKD300, or London below £28). I certainly hope the prices of the food won't reach $45 for a bowl of Bak Kut Teh!!
The press release has the following listing:
I have not tried all of it, never heard of some of it as well. Some deserve it as they food has been really good and my family and I enjoy eating there. Some eating places have moved away more than 5 km from where we stay and we stopped going there. Maybe it's time to try the food at Ka Soh again!
Some listing.... I wonder why..... I really wonder!!! There are more who deserve the listing. Before anyone say why isn't more deserving ones listed? It's just like any other guide or listing, online or on paper. It's just someone's view. Just like you might not totally agree with what I write.
Here are 2 photos of our recent eats at an establishment that has been awarded the Bib Gourmand. The Crab Porridge and Crab Garlic Baked Style at New Ubin Seafood. When we dined there, they said they had one-for-one offer, so we had loads of crabs.
Also some places the prices are not really $45 or less. Maybe a dish maybe. So we don't really know their criteria or who the inspectors are....
I am also secretly quite happy the Food Centre near my home hasn't got any listings. Prices have been going up by 10-20% for many stalls. One aunty told me, we haven't raised our prices for 8 years, which is fair enough. At least I know the stalls in the Food Centre won't be suddenly going up by a lot so soon.
Happy Eating!
