SINGAPORE - Hong Kong actress Charmaine Sheh made sure to indulge in local food when she was in town for the 2026 Black Pearl Restaurant Guide awards ceremony held at Sands Expo & Convention Centre on March 23, where she presented some awards.
The Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, established in 2018 by Chinese e-commerce company Meituan, is seen as China’s equivalent to the Michelin Guide.
The 50-year-old star shared on Instagram on March 23 photos of herself tucking into durian, chilli crab and black pepper crab.
“Local flavours, happy stomachs. A perfect day,” she wrote in English.
In a similar post on Chinese social media platform Weibo, she added in Chinese: “I had another chance to visit Singapore. Luckily, my manager Joanne Chan, who’s known for her love of food, booked this restaurant serving authentic local cuisine well in advance. Otherwise, we’d have had to wait in line for ages, since every table was full.”
Sheh said Ms Chan ordered the pig stomach with pepper soup, while Sheh went for the crabs.
