I didnโt expect to get two awards and I want to thank my team and my family. The Michelin star has been my dream since I started this career. I will keep working hard and stay humble.
A notable debut came from "1887 by Andre" at Raffles Hotel, which earned two stars shortly after its March 31 opening. Seroja also climbed to a two-star status. The two-star category further includes Cloudstreet, Jaan by Kirk Westaway, Meta, Thevar, Saint Pierre, and Shokouwa.

My English not good, my food good.
"1887 by Andre Chiang" at Raffles Hotel Singapore received the inaugural Opening of the Year award. Cherry Garden's supervising chef Huang Jinghui aims to bring authentic Cantonese flavors to diners with high-quality service. Additionally, Fiz and Seroja were recognized with Green Stars for their commitment to sustainability, while Jing Ting Wan's Joe Yang won the Sommelier Award, promoting Chinese wines.
This is my first overseas star. My aim is to bring authentic Chinese cuisine, especially Cantonese flavours, to local diners through high-quality service.
This year marks the 10th edition of the guide since its 2016 launch, with anonymous inspectors evaluating restaurants based on ingredient quality, culinary technique, chef's personality, flavor harmony, and consistency. The Bib Gourmand selection also highlighted 97 eateries.
Being able to promote my homelandโs wines is exciting for me. Many people still donโt know that China produces wines and I always look forward to sharing the knowledge to diners.
