The Number of Top-Ranked Restaurants Is Declining in Singapore

There are less starred spots in the latest Michelin guide, as a top chef’s ranking drops.

Singapore’s dining scene is changing. An innovative restaurant gained a second star while famed chef Tetsuya Wakuda’s location in the city-state lost one.

Meta, which was promoted to two-star status, is helmed by South Korean chef Sun Kim and has been featured on lists of top Asian restaurants for several years. The menu highlights a mix of Korean flavors and traditions with French techniques, with dishes like steamed Jeju abalone with gochujang seaweed risotto.
