Late last year, the Michelin Guide announced that it would be debuting in Malaysia, covering the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Penang. In December 2022, the guide’s inaugural selection of restaurants was revealed, with four restaurants in KL and Penang earning one Michelin star each.

Furthermore, a total of 32 establishments were awarded the Bib Gourmand, which denotes restaurants that offer value-for-money meals. Another 61 restaurants were given Michelin Selected titles, which means Michelin inspectors have reviewed these restaurants and feel that they deserve some form of recognition and commendation but no stars – yet.
