Hawker Chan (world's cheapest Michelin-starred meal)

For Chan Hon Meng’s soya sauce chicken rice, you’ll need $2 and an hour or 2 of wait time to enjoy a Michelin-starred meal.

The Malaysian-born chef dropped out of school at fifteen to help his parents on their farm. He decided he wanted to work in the kitchen in his twenties, and began training in Hong Kong. The techniques and recipes he learned there became the cornerstone of the food-court stall he opened with his wife Irene in Singapore in 2009.

The stall earned a Michelin Star in 2016.
