Among the standout names, Jade Dragon remains a benchmark with three Michelin stars, praised for its Cantonese mastery and accolades like La Liste Top 1,000. Meanwhile, Feng Wei Ju at StarWorld Hotel has held its two-star rating for a decade, led by Chef Chan Chek Keong, who blends Hunan and Sichuan traditions with refined techniques. The restaurant now offers a celebratory Degustation Menu, featuring dishes like Stewed Minced Chicken and Egg White with Matsutake in Bouillon.
Other venues have also made waves.

The restaurant retains its one-star status, as does 8½ Otto e Mezzo BOMBANA, where Executive Chef Marino D'Antonio presents an 'Award-winning Indulgent Lunch' with Sardinian flavours on weekends.
Japanese cuisine remains a strong contender. Sushi Kissho by Miyakawa, led by three-star sushi master Chef Masaaki Miyakawa, retained its Michelin Star for the second year. The venue also hosted exclusive sake-pairing dinners on March 20-21, featuring seasonal ingredients curated by Sommelier Ivan Au Yang. Elsewhere, Sushi Kinetsu maintained its one-star ranking, while Pearl Dragon and Ying upheld their positions with Cantonese-Chaozhou and fine local dishes, respectively.
