TONIGHT at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel, the venerable Michelin Guide – which celebrates the finest restaurants and culinary traditions from around the world – announced the first Malaysian restaurants to receive the vaunted Michelin Star, as well as the Bib Gourmand award.

The awards were presented by Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the Michelin Guides, alongside the help of the Michelin mascot.

32 received the honour of Bib Gourmand for quality cooking at reasonable prices, while four received 1 Michelin Star or ‘high quality cooking, worth a stop’ – two of which are in KL, with two in Penang. In addition to that, three individuals received Michelin Special Awards.

That's awesome news about Malaysia getting its first Michelin stars, especially in KL and Penang! I’ve heard great things about the food scene in both places, so it’s great to see them finally getting that recognition. I think it's a game-changer for local dining and brings even more attention to the incredible talent and flavors Malaysia offers. If you're into fine dining, I’d also recommend checking out places like Pont Dining Room in Australia, which has some unique dishes too (pontdiningroom.com.au). It’s great to see places worldwide pushing the boundaries of what food can be! Can't wait to see what other restaurants in Malaysia get on the list in the future.
