Singapore Hawker Stands with Michelin Stars

If you're one of the millions of people who sawCrazy Rich Asiansthis weekend,很有可能你的渴望Singaporestreet food, even if you've never had it before. The film, which takes place largely inSingapore, shows vivid scenes of hawker centers—massive dining complexes with food stands serving just about every kind of dish you could imagine at super-affordable prices.

Singapore has one of the most renowned street food scenes in the world; two of its hawker stands have earned Michelin stars (which the very, very dreamy Nick Young, played by Henry Golding, points out in one scene), and many more have been recognized by the guide for their quality and value.

If you're considering planning your own pilgrimage to Singapore—perhaps not for a crazy rich wedding, but rather for some excellent snacking—check out the two hawker stands below that have earned Michelin stars, plus a handful that boast Michelin's "Bib Gourmand" designation.

When Chan Hon Mengwon his first Michelin star in 2016for his Singapore stall, it made him (andHill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, which also won that year) the first street-food establishments to be recognized by the prestigious guide—ever. This earned Chan Hon Meng's stall the additional honor of beingcheapest Michelin starred meal in the world. (A portion of soya chicken rice costs roughly $1.42.)
