Dine on Michelin-starred dishes from $2.50 at this new street food festival

Singaporeans can never get enough of food. Amidst the numerous farmers’ markets, chef collab specials and pop-up sessions, a new street food festival has emerged, and it bears the official Michelin guide stamp of approval.

Yep, we’re talking about Singapore’s very first Michelin guide Street Food Festival, to be held at Resorts World Sentosa in April. With a retro theme inspired by local cuisine from the ’60s and ’70s, the two-day fest will feature live performances by homegrown musicians and a lucky draw for each session.

Just think about it — you’ll get access to all kinds of Michelin-starred and Bib Gourmand eateries in one space, with restaurants whipping up their signatures and their take on local street foods at a rather affordable starting price of $2.50.
