Joining the ranks are nine new dining spots on the list, five of which are restaurants while three are hawker centres and one is a street food establishment. The Bib Gourmand category was created in 1997 to recognise establishments that offer diners a value-for-money gourmet experience. In Singapore, this is benchmarked at a maximum of $45 for a three-course meal.
