These are all the hawker stalls and restaurants in Singapore on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list for 2025
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.

The 21 best restaurants in Porto
An indication of the blossoming food scene in Portugal is that, for the first time last year, Michelin dedicated a guide to the nation alone, rather than combining its restaurant offerings with Spain as before. To underline their increasing faith, Porto was rewarded with another two-star restaurant, bringing the total of stars in the city up to 10. But it is not only the fine dining scene creating culinary excitement. There are plenty of young chefs opening innovative, ingredient-led restaurants and many of them in Porto seem to be women; something to be championed. All our recommendations below have been hand selected and tested by our resident destination expert to help you discover the best restaurants in Porto. Find out more below, or for more Porto inspiration, see our guides to the region's best hotels, bars and things to do. Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders Best for families Best for cheap eats Best for fine dining Best for walk-ins Best all-rounders Cozinha das Flores London-based Nuno Mendes weaves his culinary magic here to a keen crowd, creating his own niche between Michelin-starred cuisine and bistro fare. Dishes are powerfully authentic, with perfect flavours and an evident respect for ingredients. Start with a few fun snacks like doughnuts filled with spider crab or the turnip nata, Mendes's sublime take on the much-loved traditional Portuguese custard tart (filled with turnip and topped with caviar). Vegetarians will also love the celeriac heart cooked in embers with a Bolognese of smoked beetroot. All served in cosy interiors before an open kitchen and fire beyond.

Top Scottish chef on 'imposter syndrome', role as TV judge and aiming for two Michelin Stars
An award-winning Scottish chef has spoken about imposter syndrome when taking up a new role on TV.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Great British Menu judge and Cail Bruich executive chef Lorna McNee has described feeling 'imposter syndrome' about going back on the show in her new role, as well as the transformational impact achieving a Michelin star had on the Glasgow restaurant. Speaking on the Murphy Wealth Human First podcast, Ms McNee – Scotland's only female chef in charge of a Michelin Star restaurant – described the 'surreal' moment she realised Cail Bruich was being awarded the highly sought-after accolade as one of the best moments of her life. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad She said: 'It was such a surreal feeling, and it was one of the happiest moments of my life and my career... we won a first star in Glasgow for 18 years, I believe. So, Gordon Ramsay, only female Scottish Michelin chef, and all the rest of it. It was massive and the restaurant was fully booked for a year and a half – you couldn't get a table. 'The revenue it brought in meant I could buy the stove I wanted and refurb the restaurant. What's so great about having such fantastic business owners is that the money came in and it went straight back into the restaurant. We said: 'let's develop and make things better so we can reach the next level'. It was great for business, and it was great for the team, great for morale. And from then, we went from strength to strength.' Ms McNee, who comes from the village of Dallas in Morayshire, took up her first head chef role at Cail Bruich in August 2020. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star for the first time in January 2021 – less than six months after she joined. Great British Menu judges for 2025 - Ed Gamble (L), Lorna McNee (C), Tom Kerridge (R) | BBC Prior to Cail Bruich, chef Lorna was part of the team at the two Michelin-starred Restaurant Andrew Fairlie in Gleneagles for 13 years and was awarded Great British Menu's 'Champion of Champions' in 2019. She also won Game Chef of the Year in 2016 and National Scottish Chef of the Year in 2017. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Earlier this year, she returned to the Great British Menu, this time as a judge for the show's 20th series. Of the experience, and being her own worst critic, she said: 'I judge everything I do, and it's never perfect. To be asked to come back as a judge was one of those things. That moment of, 'I can't believe I'm being asked to do this'. It's that whole imposter syndrome… and then going and sitting in a room with Tom Kerridge, obviously a two Michelin-star chef, and Ed Gamble, who's been doing it for so long and is a very successful comedian. 'I was really, really intimidated. And I've obviously done the show. I've won the competition. I'm a chef. I've won a star. I know what I'm talking about. You're still sitting there like, why am I in this room?' The production team and everyone there, they're so fantastic. And it's just it's completely different [to the day to day]. 'I walk in my jogging bottoms and I come out looking so glamorous – that's really fun. And then tasting other people's food is really interesting, because it's different styles and techniques. You learn new things and taste mostly good stuff. So absolutely, it's really great to be involved in something like that, and it's very different to me.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Speaking to The Scotsman in February , Ms McNee talked of Cail Bruich's aim for two stars, something former colleague Mark Donald was awarded for the Glenturret Lalique restaurant in 2024. After John Williams, executive chef at the newly awarded Two Michelin Star restaurant in The Ritz in London had lunch at Cail Bruich, he commented that the restaurant should have two stars, to which replied: 'I mean we'd love to get two, we'd love to. "We try and get better every year and I hope that eventually we do get two stars. It's very exciting. It's amazing to know that John Williams thinks we should have two, that's great. It was amazing to serve him lunch but, who knows? I'd love to get two and we're always pushing to be better, so hopefully it's in the pipeline.' Asked about this again by Murphy Wealth CEO Adrian Murphy Ms McNee said: 'I would love to say we're going to get two stars – that's the goal, that's the dream… All I can say is that I'm continuously trying to get better. I look at food all the time. I look at new produce, I look at new projects to try and make ourselves better. And for me, mainly, it's about trying to be better as a leader, about being better for my team, and trying to let them know we're pushing for two stars.'

Knock Out Season 1 Review – Slow Moving BL that Dodges the Prize-Winning Punch

He hides out at a traditional Muay Thai gym trying to figure out how to make fast money. There he meets renowned fighter, Thun – 'The Tiger Taming Cannon.' But Thun refuses to step foot into the ring. Thai BL, Knock Out, is led by newcomers, Nice Boripat Jamsat as Keen and Gunner Natsakan Chairote as Thun. The rest of the cast offers familiar faces, including Guide Kantapon Chmpupan of Bake Me Please, Dech Narongdet Rungarun of Playboyy and Gap Jakarin Puribhat of Cat Man and The Legend of Nang Nak. It was produced by Earnie Jantawong, who brought you Hello No One and wrote Thai BL, Monster Next Door. Keen and Thun quickly find themselves thrown together as it's not just Keen but the whole gym that needs a financial injection. He manages to get Thun on board, but that's quickly out the window as he brings in Thun's former friend for a revenge match. As the cinches tighten, Thun finally agrees to fight Typhoon. But things don't go as any of them expected. With a glimpse into the Muay Thai Boxing world, including a public naked weigh-in plus a novel behind the story for depth, I expected a bit more than Knock Out was ultimately able to deliver. No shade to the actors specifically, but the chemistry wasn't there in any of the relationships, except maybe for the blood-crazed Yut. He did seem crazy. And Phuwish, who played his double role well, though I struggled to picture a crime boss who would enjoy feeding his enemies to his German Shepherd. Perhaps I don't get out enough. Apart from the connections, the storyline didn't seem to offer many opportunities for the protagonists to truly form bonds, feeling a bit superficial from the start and never able to tame that trail into genuine relationships. Instead, it just pushed couples together in less-than-realistic situations and left them to it. The storyline around loan sharks feels fairly tired, too, popping up in so many Thai dramas. It makes me wonder just how many people are in debt for it to be such a regular theme. The interesting twist was that the moneylender was actually a politician in disguise, something that may feel cheekily relevant in more than one country. Ultimately, though, BLs are about the chemistry. While it wasn't horrible and had potential, it didn't really live up to its romance genre. If you're on the fence about Knock Out, check out our episode reviews linked above. If you loved it, I'd love to hear why in the comments below.
