Michelin Guide Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2027: Potager earns first star; 16 new Bib Gourmand and Selected entries as ‘nasi kandar’ finally enters the guide

Potager has achieved its first Michelin star in the Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2027 Michelin Guide, while Dewakan maintains its two-star status.

The revised guide features 159 establishments, with 80 in Kuala Lumpur and 79 in Penang, introducing nasi kandar into the Michelin Selected category for the first time.

The announcement, made via press release, highlights local favourites and contemporary restaurants merging Malaysian ingredients with global techniques, featuring everyday dishes like nasi kandar and bak kut teh.

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Potager has received its first Michelin star in the fifth edition of the Michelin Guide Kuala Lumpur and Penang, announced today, while Dewakan retains its two stars.

The guide also includes nasi kandar for the first time: Hameediyah, established in 1907 and recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the country’s oldest nasi kandar restaurant, and Deens Maju, both in Penang, join the Michelin Selected list.

The 2027 selection features 159 establishments: one two-star restaurant, nine one-star restaurants, 60 Bib Gourmands and 89 Michelin Selected.

Last year’s edition listed 151 establishments, including 58 Bib Gourmands and 84 Selected.

Kuala Lumpur now has 80 establishments (77 last year) and Penang 79 (74 last year).

For the first time in Malaysia, the selection was announced through a press release rather than at a ceremony.

Michelin International Director Gwendal Poullennec said in a statement that the selection reflects “the continued importance of local favourites” alongside restaurants that combine Malaysian ingredients, regional flavours and international techniques.

The selection includes everyday dishes such as nasi kandar, koay teow th’ng and bak kut teh , alongside contemporary interpretations of local flavours.

At the top of the list, Potager, a French contemporary restaurant in Kuala Lumpur’s Bamboo Hills led by Chef Masashi Horiuchi, earns its first star.

The restaurant opened in September 2023 and joined the Michelin Selected list in the 2025 edition and stayed on it last year before earning a star this year.

That brings the one-star total to nine, up from eight, with seven in Kuala Lumpur and two in Penang.

Dewakan retains its two stars, with Chef Darren Teoh the first chef to be featured in Michelin’s new Mindful Voices platform, which highlights the restaurant’s use of local, native and endemic ingredients to reduce imports.

Speaking to Malay Mail after the announcement, Teoh said, “I think in light of a hard season, we are thankful to continue to have guests who travel and see the vibrant and dynamic restaurant scene this country has. We think having a guide like the Michelin is great as a starting point for anyone who has never known the country before to begin to fall in love with it.”

Potager’s recognition also extends to its dining room: Nazahar, who has supervised service since the restaurant opened, received the Service Award. Three other special awards were presented.

Aidan Low, born in 1992, won the Young Chef Award for combining classical French technique and Japanese precision with native produce and house-made ferments at his Michelin-starred restaurant, Akar.

Joyin Goh of Tangram (Selected) won the Sommelier Award for a list of nearly 100 wines featuring lesser-known boutique wineries.

Root House by Gēn (Selected), Chef Johnson Wong’s restaurant at George Town’s 1926 Heritage Hotel, won Opening of the Year; it opened in July 2026 and explores Malaysian-Chinese cuisine through Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Cantonese and Hainanese traditions.

The Bib Gourmand list grows to 60 restaurants (26 in Kuala Lumpur, 34 in Penang), up from 58, with four new entries. In Kuala Lumpur, 7 Chai Ipoh Hor Fun serves classic Ipoh kai si hor fun , and Minji Bak Kut Teh serves bak kut teh made from an 80-year-old family recipe.

In Penang, Lemon Koay Teow Soup in Butterworth serves a unique pork-based koay teow th’ng with lemon juice, and Serabai Istimewa, which was among the selections dropped from the list last year, returns with its kuih serabai .

Two restaurants no longer appear on the list: Heun Kee Claypot Chicken Rice (Pudu) in Kuala Lumpur, which has closed, and Ah Boy Koay Teow Th’ng in Penang. A new claypot chicken rice restaurant, Yan Kee, has opened at the same location, run by the grandson of Heun Kee’s original owner .

Nasi kandar makes its long-awaited entrance in the Michelin Selected category, which has 89 establishments (46 in Kuala Lumpur, 43 in Penang), up from 84, with 12 new entries.

Two nasi kandar institutions make the list: time-honoured Hameediyah on Lebuh Campbell, known for its kambing kurma and murtabah , along with another local favourite, Deens Maju on Jalan Gurdwara.

Penang’s other new entries are Flower Mulan, a florist-café serving Nyonya dishes that was among the restaurants dropped last year; Khaosan, a contemporary Thai restaurant serving “modern Thai tapas ”; Root House by Gēn, the Opening of the Year winner; and See Kong Ooi , which serves home-style Malaysian-Chinese dishes in a restored heritage shophouse.

In Kuala Lumpur, six restaurants join the list, and three of them arrive with Michelin-recognised pedigree from elsewhere.

As I Am by Chef Ton, a contemporary Thai restaurant with views of Merdeka 118 and a 12-course tasting menu, was opened by Chef Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn, the chef behind Bangkok’s Le Du and Nusara.

Both restaurants hold one Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Thailand 2026 , and his first Malaysian restaurant, Sood by Chef Ton in Penang, joined the Selected list in last year’s edition.

Jhol, which cooks the flavours of India’s nine coastal states, is an outpost of Bangkok’s Jhol, founded by Chef Hari Nayak, which is also listed in the Michelin Guide Thailand .

Tangram, a contemporary Asian restaurant with French techniques and a seasonal tasting menu, is a collaboration between local partner Hsiao Tung Wei of Unwined and Chef Johnny Tsai, the creator of Taipei’s one-Michelin-starred T+T.

The other three additions in Kuala Lumpur are Merdeka Grill, a European restaurant in the newly opened Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur in Merdeka 118, serving dishes such as blue swimmer crab ravioli and Wagyu grilled over cedar wood; White N Black Kampong, a casual eatery serving kampung-style dishes for sharing; and Yellow Fin Horse, a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant in Else Kuala Lumpur.

Seven restaurants no longer appear on the Selected list. In Kuala Lumpur, they are K, Ling Long, Qureshi and Wagyu Kappo Yoshida, which have all closed; Potager left the category after moving up to a star. In Penang, they are Il Bacaro, Kota Dine & Coffee and Richard Rivalee.

Potager 在 2027 年吉隆坡和槟城米其林指南中荣获第一颗米其林星，而 Dewakan 则保持了其二星地位。

修订后的指南收录了 159 家餐厅，其中 80 家位于吉隆坡，79 家位于槟城，并首次将椰浆饭纳入米其林精选类别。

该公告通过新闻稿发布，重点介绍了当地最受欢迎的餐厅和将马来西亚食材与全球烹饪技法相结合的现代餐厅，其中包括椰浆饭和肉骨茶等日常菜肴。

吉隆坡，11 月 4 日讯——今天公布的第五版《米其林指南吉隆坡和槟城》中，Potager 餐厅荣获第一颗米其林星，而 Dewakan 餐厅则保留了其两颗星。

该指南还首次收录了椰浆饭：位于槟城的 Hameediyah（成立于 1907 年，被马来西亚纪录大全认定为该国最古老的椰浆饭餐厅）和 Deens Maju 餐厅均入选米其林精选餐厅名单。

2027 年的评选名单包括 159 家餐厅：1 家二星餐厅、9 家一星餐厅、60 家必比登美食推介餐厅和 89 家米其林精选餐厅。

去年的榜单列出了 151 家餐厅，其中包括 58 家必比登美食餐厅和 84 家精选餐厅。

吉隆坡目前有 80 家（去年为 77 家），槟城有 79 家（去年为 74 家）。

这是马来西亚首次通过新闻稿而不是通过仪式来宣布评选结果。

米其林国际总监格温达尔·普伦内克在一份声明中表示，该评选结果反映了“本地美食的持续重要性”，同时也表彰了那些将马来西亚食材、地区风味和国际烹饪技法相结合的餐厅。

菜单上的菜品包括椰浆饭、粿条汤和肉骨茶等日常菜肴，以及对当地风味的现代诠释。

在榜单之首，位于吉隆坡竹山 (Bamboo Hills) 的法式现代餐厅 Potager 由主厨 Masashi Horiuchi 掌勺，荣获第一颗星。

这家餐厅于 2023 年 9 月开业，并在 2025 年入选米其林精选餐厅名单，去年继续留在名单上，并在今年获得了一颗星。

这使得一星级评级总数达到九家，比之前的八家有所增加，其中吉隆坡有七家，槟城有两家。

Dewakan 餐厅保持了其两颗星，主厨 Darren Teoh 成为首位入选米其林新推出的“用心之声”平台的厨师，该平台重点介绍了餐厅使用当地、原生和特有食材以减少进口的做法。

在宣布这一消息后，张先生接受《马来邮报》采访时表示：“我认为，在经历了艰难的旅游旺季之后，我们非常感谢能够继续接待前来体验马来西亚充满活力和生机的餐饮业的客人。我们认为，像米其林这样的指南对于任何从未了解过马来西亚的人来说，都是一个很好的起点，可以帮助他们爱上这个国家。”

Potager餐厅的荣誉也延伸到了其用餐区：自餐厅开业以来一直负责服务工作的Nazahar荣获了服务奖。此外，还颁发了另外三个特别奖。

1992 年出生的艾丹·洛 (Aidan Low) 凭借其米其林星级餐厅 Akar 将经典的法式技法和日本的精准烹饪与当地食材和自制发酵食品相结合，赢得了青年厨师奖。

Tangram (Selected) 的 Joyin Goh 凭借一份包含近 100 款鲜为人知的精品酒庄葡萄酒的酒单，赢得了侍酒师奖。

Root House by Gēn (Selected) 是 Johnson Wong 主厨在乔治市 1926 Heritage Hotel 开设的餐厅，荣获年度最佳新店奖；该餐厅于 2026 年 7 月开业，以福建菜、潮州菜、客家菜、粤菜和海南菜的传统为特色，探索马来西亚华人美食。

必比登推介餐厅名单增至60家（吉隆坡26家，槟城34家），较之前的58家有所增加，新增4家。在吉隆坡，7 Chai Ipoh Hor Fun供应经典的怡保鸡丝河粉，而Minji Bak Kut Teh则供应采用传承80年的家族秘方制作的肉骨茶。

在槟城，北海的柠檬粿条汤供应独特的以猪肉为基础的粿条汤，并加入柠檬汁；去年从榜单中除名的Serabai Istimewa带着它的kuih serabai回归了。

有两家餐厅已从榜单中消失：吉隆坡的轩记砂锅鸡饭（Pudu店）已歇业，槟城的阿宝粿条汤也已关门。一家名为燕记的新砂锅鸡饭餐厅已在原址开业，由轩记原老板的孙子经营。

椰浆饭（Nasi kandar）在期待已久的米其林精选餐厅类别中正式亮相，该类别共有 89 家餐厅（吉隆坡 46 家，槟城 43 家），比之前的 84 家有所增加，新增 12 家。

两家 nasi kandar 机构上榜：位于 Lebuh Campbell 的历史悠久的 Hameediyah，以 kambing kurma 和 murtabah 闻名，以及另一家当地人最爱的位于 Jalan Gurdwara 的 Deens Maju。

槟城其他新晋餐厅包括：花之花咖啡馆 Flower Mulan，供应娘惹菜，该餐厅去年曾被淘汰；考山路，一家供应“现代泰式小吃”的现代泰式餐厅；根屋餐厅 (Root House by Gēn)，荣获年度最佳新店奖；以及西光之 (See Kong Ooi)，一家在修复后的历史店屋中供应家常马来西亚华人菜肴的餐厅。

在吉隆坡，有六家餐厅入选，其中三家餐厅此前已在其他地方获得米其林星级餐厅的认可。

As I Am by Chef Ton 是一家现代泰式餐厅，可欣赏 Merdeka 118 的美景，并提供 12 道菜的品尝菜单。该餐厅由主厨 Thitid “Ton” Tassanakajohn 开设，他也是曼谷 Le Du 和 Nusara 餐厅的主厨。

这两家餐厅均在《2026 年泰国米其林指南》中获得一颗米其林星，而他在马来西亚的第一家餐厅，位于槟城的 Sood by Chef Ton，在去年的版本中入选了精选餐厅名单。

Jhol 是一家融合了印度九个沿海邦风味的餐厅，是曼谷 Jhol 餐厅的分店，由主厨 Hari Nayak 创立，该餐厅也被列入泰国米其林指南。

Tangram 是一家融合了法国烹饪技法和时令品尝菜单的现代亚洲餐厅，由当地合作伙伴 Unwined 的 Hsiao Tung Wei 和台北米其林一星餐厅 T+T 的创始人 Johnny Tsai 主厨合作创立。

吉隆坡新增的三家餐厅分别是：位于新开业的吉隆坡柏悦酒店（Merdeka 118）内的 Merdeka Grill，这是一家欧式餐厅，供应蓝蟹馄饨和雪松木烤和牛等菜肴；White N Black Kampong，这是一家休闲餐厅，供应适合分享的甘榜风味菜肴；以及位于吉隆坡 Else 购物中心的 Yellow Fin Horse，这是一家现代地中海餐厅。

七家餐厅已从“精选餐厅”名单中移除。吉隆坡的K餐厅、凌龙餐厅、Qureshi餐厅和和牛割烹吉田餐厅均已歇业；Potager餐厅在晋升为米其林星级餐厅后退出了该类别。槟城的Il Bacaro餐厅、Kota Dine & Coffee餐厅和Richard Rivalee餐厅也已从该名单中移除。
