One of the first things Rachel and Nick (played by Henry Golding) do after touching down in Singapore is head to a food court of hawker stalls. While the stalls don't actually have Michelin stars like Nick says, they do receive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, a recognition for establishments offering a "high-quality menu at a reasonable price."
There are a total of 17 Bib Gourmand awards spread out among the various food centers in Singapore, but in Crazy Rich Asians, Nick, Colin, and Araminta take Rachel to the Newton Food Center, Singapore's most famous hawker center, built in 1971 and with stalls dating back to the 1960s.
Visit Alliance Seafood (order the barbecued seafood and black pepper crab for $36), Heng (serving fried carrot cake and oyster omelets), and Ah Gong Traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice, which was recognized with a Michelin Plate.
