Those French Michelin inspectors are definitely not getting any trophies for their work in Singapore.

I thought when it comes to Asian guides, there need to be a mix of local inspectors with the Michelin staff. Another problem is that these guides are paid by the government. We have a discussion in HO here:

Michelin Guide paid to produce city guides

I thought this was quite an interesting article and I was quite surprised to read this was possible. Whilst I don’t doubt they keep the sponsorship and assessment as seperate functions I still wonder if it can skew things. I have read a lot of comments that many of the highly starred Michelin restaurants in Asia don’t really hit the same standards as the top starred places in Europe. Could it be that in order to give value its important to show a city has a good number of 2 and 3 star places…? …
