TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - While on vacation in Singapore, travelers often focus on entertainment attractions, shopping, or attending concerts. However, making time for culinary exploration is a crucial part of the experience. The city-state offers a diverse range of delectable options, from simple food stalls to hidden gem cafés, with every dish becoming a memorable part of the journey.
It is no surprise that numerous restaurants in Singapore have been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. This special recognition from the Michelin Guide celebrates establishments that offer high-quality, flavorful dishes at affordable prices. These eateries typically serve familiar and comforting cuisine that resonates with both locals and visitors.
Michelin-recommended Restaurants
The Singapore Tourism Board recommends three establishments that serve simple yet highly acclaimed menus. These restaurants have all been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, as noted in a statement released on Friday, September 19, 2025.
1. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice
A trip to Singapore feels incomplete without trying Hainanese chicken rice. One of the most legendary places serving this quintessential dish is Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. Located within the Maxwell Food Centre, Tian Tian proudly holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is halal-certified.
Tian Tian's ability to serve incredibly tender chicken paired with fragrant Hainan rice has earned praise from various celebrity chefs, including Gordon Ramsay. The signature chili sauce adds a unique kick, enhancing the savory flavor of the rice with every bite. Despite its global recognition, Tian Tian consistently maintains its commitment to offering an affordable menu.
2. Kitchenman Nasi Lemak
Kitchenman Nasi Lemak is a recent addition to the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. Situated at Kallang Avenue, this restaurant serves a flavorful Nasi Lemak featuring rich-tasting sambal and perfectly crispy fried chicken, blending authentic tradition with a contemporary flair.
To complement your main dish, be sure to try other favorites like the fish otak-otak and pickles. This no-pork, no-lard eatery also boasts a sleek and comfortable interior, making it a popular culinary destination for tourists and locals alike.
3. A Noodle Story
A Noodle Story is a legendary noodle stall that has been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 10 consecutive years. Located at the Amoy Street Food Centre on Maxwell Road, this unassuming stall serves only one signature dish: Singapore-style ramen.
Available in two sizes, A Noodle Story's ramen pairs perfectly with various savory accompaniments that enhance its flavor, such as an onsen egg, chashu, ngohiong, and boiled dumplings.
Culinary Destinations
If you are planning a trip to Singapore in the near future, you can still experience the Singapore Food Festival 2025, which runs from September 4 to 24, 2025, with the main venue at Mise en Place @ Dempsey Hill. The festival, themed "A Taste of Time," invites food enthusiasts to enrich their experiences by exploring heritage recipes and culinary innovations.
Additionally, the Chinatown Complex Food Centre, which was honored as a Heritage Hawker Partner this year, has undergone a special transformation into a vibrant exhibition of food culture. Visitors can enjoy a wide array of Singaporean food heritage, from timeless street foods to bold new creations.
