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

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. These are all the new Bib Gourmand venues in Singapore: Boon Tong Kee (Balestier Road) Ji Ji Noodle House Jungle Kitchenman Nasi Lemak Kotuwa Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge To-Ricos Kway Chap Wok Hei Hor Fun And here's the full Michelin Bib Gourmand 2025 Singapore list: A Noodle Story Adam Rd Noo Cheng Big Prawn Noodle Alliance Seafood Anglo Indian (Shenton Way) Ar Er Soup Bahrakath Mutton Soup Beach Road Fish Head Bee Hoon Bismillah Biryani (Little India) Boon Tong Kee (Balestier Road) New Chai Chuan Tou Yang Rou Tang Chef's Kang Noodle House Cheok Kee Chey Sua Carrot Cake Chuan Kee Boneless Braised Duck Cumi Bali Da Shi Jia Big Prawn Mee Delhi Lahori Dudu Cooked Food Eminent Frog Porridge & Seafood (Lor 19) Fei Fei Roasted Noodle Fico Fu Ming Cooked Food Hai Nan Xing Zhou Beef Noodle Hai Nan Zai Han Kee Heng Heng Heng Cooked Food Heng Kee Hong Keng Fried Sotong Prawn Mee Hong Kong Yummy Soup Hoo Kee Bak Chang Hui Wei Chilli Ban Mian Indocafé J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee Jason Penang Cuisine Ji De Lai Hainanese Chicken RIce Ji Ji Noodle House New Jian Bo Tiong Bahru Shui Kueh Joo siah Bak Koot Teh Jungle New Kelantan Kway Chap Pig Organ Soup Kitchenman Nasi Lemak New Koh Brother Pig's Organ Soup Kok Sen Kotuwa New Kwang Kee Teochew Fish Porridge Kwee Heng Lagnaa Lai Heng Handmade Teochew Kueh Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow New Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Lixin Teochew Fishball Noodles Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice MP Thai (Vision Exchange) Muthu's Curry Na Na Curry Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee New New Lucky Claypot Rice No.18 Zion Road Fried Kway Teow Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee Ru Ji Kitchen Selamat Datang Warong Pak Sapari Sik Bao Sin Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh New Sin Huat Seafood Restaurant Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee Soh Kee Cooked Food Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (New Bridge Road) Song Fish Soup Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge New Soon Huat Spinach Soup Tai Seng Fish Soup Tai Wah Pork Noodle The Blue Ginger The Coconut Club (Beach Road) Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice To-Ricos Kway Chap New True Blue Cuisine Un-Yang-Kor-Dai Whole Earth Wok Hei Hor Fun New Yhingthai Palace Yong Chun Wan Ton Noodle Zai Shun Curry Fish Head Zhi Wei Xian Zion Road Big Prawn Noodle Zhup Zhup The complete Michelin Guide 2025 selection for Singapore will be released on July 24 – watch this space for the latest updates.

Michelin Bib Gourmand 2025: Boon Tong Kee in Balestier Rd and Kotuwa among 11 new entries on list, Lifestyle News

The 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand list is out and 11 establishments in Singapore have been added to the list. There are nine new entrants plus two eateries that have moved up from the Michelin Selected category, which is similar to last year's list. The total number of Bib Gourmand addresses across Singapore stands at 89, according to Michelin Guide Singapore, which released the Bib Gourmand list on Thursday (July 17). While not quite a Michelin star, the Bib Gourmand is a rating or recognition given to restaurants and street food stalls that serve value-for-money gourmet experiences in Singapore that cost no more than $45. The two entrants that were moved up from the Selected category are Boon Tong Kee's original branch at Balestier Road and Ji Ji Noodle House. Boon Tong Kee's Balestier Road outlet has been around since 1983 and is known for its signature boiled chicken, while Ji Ji Noodle House in Hong Lim Market & Food Centre is popular for its wanton noodles. As for the nine new additions to this year's Bib Gourmand list, there is Kotuwa, which specialises in Sri Lankan cuisine. The establishment, helmed by the chef-owner behind two-Michelin-starred Cloudstreet, Rishi Naleendra, is named after Colombo's Central Business District and had just moved to its new location in New Bahru in 2024. Other restaurants added to the list are Jungle at Ann Siang Hill, which serves modern Thai dishes; and Kitchenmen Nasi Lemak at CT Hub, which sells Malaysian-style nasi lemak. As for hawkers, there is Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow, Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee and To-Ricos Kway Chap, all of which are located at Old Airport Road Food Centre. Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow specialises in char kway teow, Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee is known for its dry-style Hokkien mee, and To-Ricos Kway Chap is popular for its kway chap (pork innards with broad rice noodles). Another new establishment on the list that serves dishes prepared with a wok is Wok Hei Hor Fun, which has been around for more than three decades and is located at Redhill Food Centre. The list also features establishments offering comforting dishes, including Song Kee Teochew Fish Porridge, which sells fish porridge and fish head bee hoon at Newton Food Centre; and Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh in Joo Chiat, which is known for its Malaysian-stye bak kut teh. Hjh Maimunah (Jalan Pisang) and Shi Hui Yuan, which were on the 2024 list, are not among the establishments this year. "The expansion of Singapore's Bib Gourmand selection this year, with over 70 per cent of the establishments being street food stalls, stands as a strong testament to Singapore's unwavering commitment to preserving its hawker culture amidst an evolving culinary landscape," said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, in a statement. "Our inspectors were not only pleased to discover more local culinary gems, but also to celebrate the enduring legacy of the long-serving heritage hawkers. It is truly heartening to witness the younger generation entering the food and beverage industry, dedicated to continuing their family's cherished recipes." The release of the 2025 Michelin Bib Gourmand List comes ahead of the official Michelin Guide's full announcement, which will be held on July 24. [[nid:637617]] melissateo@
