My
wife
and
I
visited
the
Ritz
Carlton,
Singapore
this
week
for
our
20
year
anniversary
and
we
saw
that
the
Hotel
had
a
Michelin
one-star
Chinese
restaurant
in
their
facility
called
the
Summer
Pavilion.
None
of
us
two
had
ever
experienced
a
Michelin
starred
restaurant
before
and
we
thought
this
could
be
a
first
stunning
cuisine
experience.
To
summarize
our
evening,
this
was
one
of
our
most
disappointing
restaurant
experience
ever.
The
meal
was
at
best
ordinary.
Some
of
the
dinner
courses
were
tasteless
and
borderline
repulsive
like
this
chicken
broth
with
chunks
of
boiled
chicken
floating.
We
are
not
a
demanding
clientele
but
we
were
expecting
something
of
a
different
standard
based
on
our
understanding
of
what
a
one-star
Michelin
restaurant
was
supposed
to
mean.
The
restaurant
clientele
was
wearing
T-shirts,
shorts
and
flip-flops,
some
guests
were
really
loud,
very
young
children
were
running
around
shouting.
My
wife
and
i
were
dressed
up
and
had
prepared
ourselves
for
a
unique
cuisine
experience.
we
couldn't
believe
our
eyes!
We
felt
like
in
some
popular
chinatown
cheap
street
restaurant
with
the
difference
that
we
paid
$450
for
this
"exquisite"
unforgettable
experience.
One
exception
in
our
dull,
sad
dining
experience
was
the
staff
which
were
sweet
and
helpful.
My
wife
and
I
wondered
if
we
were
coming
from
a
different
planet
until
we
realized
another
customer
also
complained
at
the
Ritz
concierge
desk
about
their
dining
experience.
I
honestly
cannot
comprehend
how
this
restaurant
got
awarded
a
star.
I
wonder
what
a
one-star
restaurant
means
to
Michelin?
If
Michelin
is
serious
about
their
restaurant
quality
scale
like
i
thought
they
were,
I
would
recommend
that
they
reconsider
the
way
they
award
these
stars.
Michelin
should
keep
a
tighter
quality
control
on
restaurants
that
consistently
get
awarded
stars
like
the
Summer
Pavilion
(one
star
since
2016).
Going
forward
I
will
regard
Michelin
ratings
with
another
set
of
eyes.
May
be
this
restaurant
was
an
outlier
in
the
pool
of
Michelin
starred
restaurants
but
I
won't
trust
Michelin
ratings
my
eyes
closed
anymore.
Michelin,
you
have
work
to
do.
