The official Michelin Guide ceremony for Singapore isn’t till July 24, but before the stars are announced, the Guide has first released its equally anticipated Bib Gourmand list. Each year, the Bib Gourmand category gets as much, if not arguably more attention than the Michelin stars category, as it zooms in on two things Singaporeans love the most: good eats and great value.
Similar to 2024, there are nine new entrants on the Bib Gourmand list this year, and two which are moved from the Michelin Selected category to Bib Gourmand. This bumps up the total number of Bib Gourmand eateries in Singapore to a staggering 89, from 81 last year and 79 in the previous year. That’s a whole lot of eating to do.
Among the nine additions this year are Kitchenman Nasi Lemak, Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow, Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee, Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh, Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge, Wok Hei Hor Fun and To-Ricos Kway Chap. Thai grill bar and restaurant Jungle at Ann Siang Hill and Sri Lankan restaurant Kotuwa – some of the Time Out Singapore team’s go-to haunts – also make the cut.
Longtime favourites like chicken rice chain Boon Tong Kee (the original Balestier Road branch in particular) and wanton noodle specialist Ji Ji Noodle House are the eateries that get an upgrade from Selected to Bib Gourmand this year.
Meanwhile, last year’s first-time Bib Gourmand awardees Chef Kang’s Noodle House, Italian restaurant Fico, Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee, Jason Penang Cuisine, and popular CBD lunch pick Han Kee (among others) also retain their Bib Gourmand status this round.
Some of our other favourites on the list include supper hotspot Eminent Frog Porridge & Seafood at Geylang, Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh, zi char legend Kok Sen, New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Village and The Coconut Club. Also try Whole Earth for healthy plant-based meals, Zai Shun Curry Fish Head tucked away in Jurong East, and Zhup Zhup in MacPherson for heady prawn broths and addictive ngoh hiang platters.
