Of the many exciting news in Singapore to look out for this year, the biggest buzz is unravelling in the food scene. Budding food journalists and zealous foodies should look forward to Singapore’s edition of the Michelin Guide, due to be launched in the third quarter of this year. The synonymous French Tyre company which introduced gastronomic guides to the culinary world for over a century is finally arriving on our sunny shores.
Michelin reviewers (commonly called “inspectors”) award Michelin Stars to a select few restaurants, ranging from 0 – 3 stars based on establishment excellence. The acquisition or loss of a star may have colossal effects on the success of a restaurant.
