SINGAPORE will be the first South-east Asian nation to get its own Michelin Guide, the popular restaurant recommendation publication which awards much-coveted stars – ranging from one to three – to top dining establishments.
The Singapore version of the guide will be bilingual, in English and Mandarin, and is expected to launch in the second half of 2016.
The Singapore Tourism Board will be in charge of promoting the guide while Robert Parker Wine Advocate, an authority on fine wines, will be creating a website to accompany the print version of the guide.
Bib Gourmand awards, which the Michelin Guide gives to restaurants that offer quality food at affordable prices, will also be making its debut in Singapore.
Within Asia, the only other countries with their own Michelin Guides are Japan, Macau and Hong Kong.
