SINGAPORE – With the release of Michelin Guide Singapore’s 2024 Bib Gourmand Selection, we set out to sample four of the newly awarded hawker stalls. While a few were closed or had sold out for the day, here’s our experience at those we managed to try:
Delhi Lahori
Located at Tekka Centre, Delhi Lahori’s striking clay oven immediately sets the stage for authentic flavors. We tried their Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan Set (S$8) and were impressed. The naan, fluffy and generously portioned, came loaded with garlic and coriander—a standout but something to note for coriander skeptics. The butter chicken was mild and flavorful, though we found the portion on the smaller side.
Han Kee
A favorite at Amoy Street Food Centre, Han Kee had a long queue just 20 minutes after opening. We tried the Sliced Fish Soup (S$6) and the spicier Fish Head Bee Hoon (S$7), which boasted a peppery broth akin to bak kut teh. Both portions were generous, and the stall won us over despite our usual aversion to fish soup. Still, waiting 45 minutes again might be a stretch. Cash only.
MP Thai (Vision Exchange)
Situated a short walk from Jurong East MRT, MP Thai offers indoor seating for 48. We ordered the Pork Fried Rice Basil Set (S$10+), which included spring rolls, a fried egg, and a drink (Thai milk tea or lemongrass). The basil didn’t overpower the dish, and we chose a mild spice level for a pleasant kick. Note: menu prices exclude service charge.
Song Fish Soup
Over at Clementi 448 Market and Food Centre, Song Fish Soup had an impressive line. We waited 20 minutes for their Yuan Yang Bee Hoon (S$6). The milky broth was rich, and the tender fish slices were enjoyable. Though satisfying, the wait was lengthy for our taste. Cash only.
Each stall offered something unique, and while we enjoyed our meals, we’re on the fence about waiting in line again.
