Michelin Can be Cheap and Cheerful Too!

The renowned Annual Michelin Guide is where anonymous Michelin inspectors award stars (from 3 to 1) to restaurants worldwide based on their food quality, preparation, value for money and the chef's personality.  


A restaurant that receives one or more stars is not only one of the best in its country but also one of the best in the world.



One star: a very good restaurant in its category.
Two stars: excellent cooking, worth a detour.
Three stars: exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.


The past reviewers have focused on the high-end spectrum and that no time was spent trotting on the streets to find out where the majority of the local foodies eat.

Proud to know in the latest edition of
Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2011, released today, a noodles place serving a bowl of wonton noodles for US$2, has become the world's cheapest eat awarded the coveted Michelin star!

This pulled the guide much closer to the more down-to-earth choices and tastes of ours - they finally got it after all these years!  Good for them.
