This year saw 3 Three Stars, 6 Two Stars, 46 One Stars, 152 Michelin Selected, 79 Bib Gourmands and 1 Green Star, a total of 286 establishments. Here’s the breakdown and some food for thought.

Seroja: Singapore’s First Michelin Green Star
Seroja is also the recipient of the first Green Star in Singapore, using ingredients from Malaysia and Singapore, with dishes and flavours that are uniquely Malaysian for the most part, interpreted and refined in ways that both honour its heritage and legacy, while leaning into sustainability in the right ways, through preservation and education.
Michelin Special Awards
This year saw Desmond Wong from Shoukouwa winning the Michelin Guide Service Award; Makoto Iwabuchi from Sushi Sakuta winning the Michelin Guide Sommelier Award; and the Kevin Wong of Seroja winning the Michelin Guide Young Chef Award.
