Befitting Hong Kong’s reputation as the Culinary Capital of Asia, Michelin’s army of mystery diners have not only found more new restaurant stars, but they have also identified new dining trends in Asia’s world city. The fourth edition of their guide includes sections on two additional cuisines – Singaporean and Xinjiang, further showcasing the culinary variety that is on offer in this foodie’s paradise.

This year’s guide is also indispensible for finding the best restaurants offering excellent value for money. A total of 52 ‘small shops’, indicated with the pictogram are included for around 20 per cent of the total listings. These include noodle shops, noodle and congee eateries and Vietnamese food stalls. Some of them have been awarded stars, making them the most affordable starred restaurants in the world. Diners can enjoy gourmet meals for as little as HK$50 per person, showing Michelin’s commitment to local eateries.
