It’s what everyone was waiting for: the Michelin Bib Gourmand 2022 list, so we can dine well on an affordable budget while tasting some of the best food around Singapore. There’s a grand total of 67 entries on this 2022 list – with nine new eateries to boot. These range from the likes of old-school hawkers like Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee to new-wave hawkers like One Prawn & Co. As a team who eats out (a lot), these are our top Michelin Bib Gourmand choices for the year.
Hjh Maimunah It’s a classic: Hjh Maimunah for a hearty nasi padang meal. While they’ve got a number of outlets around Singapore, it’s the Jalan Pisang one that’s scored a Michelin Bib Gourmand. As Time Out Singapore Designer Kashmira says, “it’s a go-to place if you’re thinking about nasi padang. A great comfort food for the whole family”.

It’s a sure-fire favourite since our City Life Writer Izza also agrees:
“ I don’t cook and I don’t intend to learn either, so if I’m craving for a good plate of nasi padang, I usually hit up Hjh Maimumah. My regular order will be ayam lemak chilli api, paru, sambal goreng, salted egg, and kangkong. Cue the food coma…”
Sing Lung HK Cheong Fun

While chee cheong fun (rice noodle rolls) are easily found in most hawker centres, it’s Sing Lung HK Cheong Fun that’s seized a Michelin Bib Gourmand award for their fresh cheong fun. Prices start from just $2.50 per roll. Time Out Singapore Finance Manager Sally acknowledges it as one of her favourites, saying that “I like their century egg pork congee and plain cheong fun” since it makes up her “typical childhood breakfast in Hong Kong”.

Maybe kway chap isn’t top of mind when it comes to a Bib Gourmand Michelin award, but To-Ricos Guo Shi in Old Airport Road Food Centre is one that deserves it. With kway teow noodles and platters of braised pork innards, tau pok (tofu puffs), and a braised egg, it makes for a delightfully hearty meal. As Deputy Editor Pailin describes it, a bowl of kway chap here is “comfort food at its best”, with “silky-smooth noodles and a light soup”.
