Singapore is home to the first two food stalls in the world awarded with precious and exclusive Michelin Stars.

As you can imagine, long lines form outside of the stall before it even opens. The short documentary above explores the story of the stall’s chef and owner, Chan Hon Meng.

Watch his inspiring story above.
