Michelin Guide Honk Kong and Macau 2012

The MICHELIN guide Hong Kong Macau 2012 truly reflects the rise
in quality of the restaurants in a highly competitive environment
Michelin  launches the fourth edition of the bilingual MICHELIN guide Hong Kong
Macau. Not only does it reflect the sustained improvement in the quality of restaurants in
Hong Kong and Macau, it also highlights the increasing richness and diversity of the
delicacies to be found in each city.
The latest Hong Kong Macau guide includes 281 establishments in Hong Kong (237
restaurants and 44 hotels) and 51 establishments in Macau (35 restaurants and 16 hotels).
It includes 59 new restaurants (57 in Hong Kong and 2 in Macau) and 10 new hotels (7 in
Hong Kong and 3 in Macau).
In Hong Kong and Macau there are now 5 three-star restaurants (4 in Hong Kong and 1 in
Macau), 13 with two-star (10 in Hong Kong and 3 in Macau) and 51 one star
establishments (48 in Hong Kong and 3 in Macau).

The MICHELIN inspectors have been continuously exploring the local dining scenes in Hong
Kong and Macau to find a wide variety of establishments for our readers. Not only have they
found many new stars but they have also discovered a wide variety of restaurants offering
many different styles of cooking. We have expanded our coverage to take in new locations
such as Kennedy Town and Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island and have also included two
additional cuisines – Singaporean and Xinjiang – which further showcase the diversity of
excellent food in Hong Kong and Macau.
The MICHELIN guide Hong Kong Macau 2012 is the perfect guide to finding the best
restaurants offering excellent value for money. A total of 59 simple shop (2) restaurants
(52 in Hong Kong and 7 in Macau) are included (c.f. 55 restaurants in 2011). These basic,
local food stalls make up around 20% of the guide and include noodle shops, noodles and
congee eateries, and Vietnamese food stalls. Some of them have even been awarded stars,
making them the most affordable starred restaurants in the world.

The guide also features 64 Bib Gourmand (=) restaurants (59 in Hong Kong and 5 in
Macau), chosen by the inspectors for their good value. 19 Bib Gourmand restaurants are
new to the guide, indicating that there are still a lot of affordable restaurants with top-quality
cuisine. These restaurants are particularly popular with our readers in these challenging
economic times so the list of Bib Gourmands for gourmets looking for great food at an
affordable price – a full three-course meal (excluding drinks) costing HKD/ MOP 300 or less –
is a very valuable part of our guide.
Michelin stars are awarded purely for what is on the plate. To ensure consistency, our
inspectors, who undertake all restaurant reviews anonymously, adhere to the standard five
criteria for awarding stars in all areas and countries: product quality, preparation and
flavours, the cuisine’s personality, value for money, and consistency over time and across
the entire menu. In this year’s guide, more than 70% of the restaurants selected offer
Chinese cuisine, including Shanghainese, Pekingese, Sichuan, Hakkanese, Hang
Zhou, Cantonese, and Chiu Chow. A restaurant that receives one or more stars is not only
one of the best in its country, but also one of the best in the world.

One star (3 Stars) means a very good restaurant in its category.
Two stars (2 Stars) mean excellent cooking, worth a detour.
Three stars (1 Star) mean exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.
Locals and travellers seeking an enjoyable experience have counted on the MICHELIN guide
for its trusted recommendations for over a century. While the MICHELIN guide is known
around the world for its famous stars, they actually account for only 10% of the selection in
the guide. With more than one million copies sold every year around the world, the
MICHELIN guide has always built its success on the diversity and range of its selection and
is, in itself, synonymous with quality, since only the best establishments in each comfort and
price category are selected.

The MICHELIN guide Hong Kong Macau 2012 will be available on 2nd December in
Hong Kong (HK$ 188); on the 5th in Macau and on the 12th in Southeast Asia.
For more than a century, MICHELIN guides have helped travellers enjoy better mobility by
offering qualified restaurant and hotel recommendations throughout Europe. Now covering
23 countries across three continents, the collection of 27 MICHELIN guides includes more
than 45,000 addresses. In Asia, the company has just published the 2012 MICHELIN guide
for Tokyo Yokohama and Shonan, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe
and Nara. The first guide to Hokkaido will be launched in April 2012.
