Michelin star stall whets the appetite in Singapore

Hungry diners queued up at a small, modest street food stall in Singapore to get a taste of the restaurant’s local delights which has won a coveted Michelin star.

Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle and Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle made dining history recently when they became the first street food stalls in the world to be awarded a star by Michelin as French critics revealed a Singapore guide of 29 establishments.

Singapore is the first Southeast Asian country and the fourth in Asia to be rated by the Michelin Guide. It has more than 100 open-air “hawker” centres and 6,000 stalls selling popular multi-ethnic meals.
