Did these four restaurants get the Michelin star award? Food enthusiasts will geek about anything that relates to food. As they enjoy savouring delicious cuisines that feast not only on the stomach but also the eyes, they will definitely know the sacred term ‘Michelin’ stars.

So, what exactly is Michelin in the culinary world? Well, you might know the French tyre company Michelin. But is it the same thing with the acclaimed title every restaurant and chef worldwide dreams of? To your surprise, yes!

What is the Michelin Guide?

The term Michelin Guides is a series of guidebooks published by the same company. The book explains the traits that qualify a restaurant to get three stars for excellence in terms of service, food, performance and others. Michelin stars are like an honorary badge that reflects the quality of a restaurant. Therefore, if the loss of stars or stars happens to the already-Michelin restaurant, it’ll definitely replenish its reputation in the culinary scene.

Four Malaysian restaurants get a Michelin star!

Overseas, many restaurants have received this prestigious award. As a food hub, are there any Malaysian restaurants on the list?

Previously, we were not qualified yet, although our restaurants are proven world-class. But recently, four restaurants in Malaysia finally earned what they deserved the star from this significant food award!

Among the 97 restaurants listed, a star is given to two restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, and the other two are in Penang!

Two of the now-One Michelin star restaurant in Kuala Lumpur are Dewakan and DC. By Darren Chin.

Moreover, the Penang restaurants earning the well-deserved award are Auntie Gaik Lean’s Old School Eatery and Au Jardin.
