Hill Street Tai Hwa is Singapore’s only Michelin-starred hawker

If you look through Singapore’s list of Michelin-starred eateries, there is one entry that stands out from the rest. It does not require any dress code, nor does it serve aesthetically plated fine dining dishes. Instead, it simply embodies the entire unadulterated essence of the country’s hawker scene—and that is Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle.

The stall specialises in the quintessential Singaporean comfort dish, bak chor mee. Alongside Hawker Chan, it became one of the first two hawker stalls to be awarded a Michelin star in the inaugural Singapore Michelin Guide back in 2016

While the former has since lost its crown in 2021, Tai Hwa has retained its Michelin star every year. Although opinions remain mixed, there’s no denying it has maintained a level of consistency strong enough to keep drawing long queues of tourists and loyal regulars to this day.
