The MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2021 is back, after the pause in 2020. The list of 2021 Singapore Michelin Star restaurants will be announced on 1 September 2021. In the meantime, the Singapore Michelin Bib Gourmand 2021 selection was released on 12 August 2021. The 2021 list contains 69 Bib Gourmand food places in Singapore, 12 of which are new entries. Here is our current top 10 favourites.
Michelin inspectors award the Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition on food establishments that “offer diners very good value for money, with a complete and high-quality menu priced at a maximum of SG$45”. The Michelin Bib Gourmand 2021 Singapore list contains 69 entries. Here are our top 10 Singapore Bib Gourmand food places that we have tried.
Michelin Bib Gourmand 2021 Singapore : New Entries
The first two places in our TOP list of Michelin Bib Gourmand 2021 Singapore favourites are new entries: Lai Heng Teochew Kueh and Coconut Club Nasi Lemak.
Lai Heng Handmade Teochew Kueh
Lai Heng Teochew Kueh 莱兴手工潮州粿 is one of the many popular food stalls at the Yuhua Market & Hawker Centre in Jurong East. Our Teochew readers would probably enjoy the traditional Teochew poong kueh, soon kueh and koo chai kueh freshly handmade on the spot. Read more.

Coconut Club Nasi Lemak
Coconut Club is a famous nasi lemak restaurant that caught the attention of Singapore and international foodies when it was reported as the restaurant where PM Lee Hsien Loong hosted visiting Philipines President Duterte for lunch. It was listed as a Bib Gourmand restaurant in the Singapore Michelin Guide 2018 but lost the listing in 2019, presumably on account of its moving to its present location at Ann Siang Road. It is now back again in the 2021 Michelin Guide. Read more.

Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee
Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee is always a contender for best char kway teow in Singapore. Long queues are the norm during lunch hours so its best to visit during off peak times. The highlight for us were the cockles used. They were small and sweet and the chef was very generous with them – there were lots of them in each plate, each cooked perfectly. There was noticeable wok hei but this is not a fried kway teow which grabs you by the wok hei. The moderate taste as well as the balance in the seasonings blended all the ingredients very well.

New Lucky Claypot Rice
The New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Drive Food Centre is a famous claypot rice stall in Buona Vista. They take up two large stalls in the Holland Drive Food Centre. One part of the stall houses a large bank of charcoal fired stoves. It looked like it could accommodate 20 pots at any one time. The rice are cooked from scratch for each order. It is best to call in advance to order to avoid a long wait. Read more.
