Modern Malay restaurant Fiz in Tanjong Pagar has received a Michelin Green Star, awarded to establishments for their sustainable practices and dining experiences.
It is the second restaurant in Singapore to get this accolade, following one-Michelin-starred Seroja, which also holds one Michelin Green Star.

Former one-star recipients that have dropped off the guide are Beni at Mandarin Gallery, Putien in Kitchener Road and Reve in Kreta Ayer Road.
Other establishments that have closed recently are off the guide too. They are La Dame de Pic at Raffles Hotel, Braci in Boat Quay, Table 65 at Resorts World Sentosa and 28 Wilkie in Wilkie Road.
Three special awards were given out as well.
Chef Seth Lai of fine-dining restaurant Ce Soir in Portsdown Road was lauded with the Young Chef Award. And Ms Lufianti Susetyo, from Italian restaurant Buko Nero in Tanjong Pagar, was the winner of the Service Award.
Araya’s sommelier Tomas Topia won the Sommelier Award, the icing on the cake for Araya’s chef-couple Francisco Araya and Fernanda Guerrero. The duo just got engaged and June 25 is chef Guerrero’s birthday.
On the accolade, chef Lai says: “I am extremely humbled to be chosen as the young chef of the year, I wasn’t expecting it but can only be thankful for the recognition. Moving forward, I can only work harder to achieve greater heights.”
The Michelin Guide Singapore release comes a week after the Bib Gourmand results, released on June 18.

In total, there are 283 locations listed on the guide: 51 starred restaurants, 81 Bib Gourmand eateries, and 151 Michelin Selected venues.
Mr Gwendal Poullennec, the Michelin Guide’s international director, says: “Singapore’s multicultural character extends beautifully to its world-renowned food scene. The variety of options, from fine-dining establishments to iconic hawker centres steeped in tradition, offers a truly captivating culinary experience for visitors.
“Our inspectors are also witnessing a surge of talented young chefs joining kitchens. Their passion injects fresh energy and creativity into the scene, pushing boundaries and ensuring Singapore remains a leader in culinary innovation.”
