The full list and a field guide to the hawkers of Singapore's Michelin Bib Gourmand 2017

The Michelin Guide Singapore has unveiled the second iteration of the Bib Gourmand list. Not to be confused with the coveted Michelin Star, these Bibs are handed out to smaller-scale eateries, hawker stalls or restaurants that plate up "good value" meals - for less than S$45 per head.

This "cut-off" point varies from country to country.  In most European cities, the figure sits at 35 euros (S$52); it's 5000 yen ($64) in  Japan, and HK$300 ($52) in Hong Kong.

That isn't to say that a hawker stall or eatery absent on this list cannot hope for recognition from the platform. Last year, local favourites Hill Street Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee and Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle made waves by taking home one Michelin star each - making them the most affordable starred meals in the world.

Here's a handy guide to this year's awardees that you can tick off should you plan a food tour around the list. There are 9 new entrants (and 5 exits); names new to the list are numbered in green.
