Cognitive
Dissonance
would
be
the
2
words
I
use
to
describe
my
experience
at
RVLT.
While
I
felt
that
the
service
and
ambience
was
reasonable.
There
was
a
huge
mismatch
between
the
quality
of
the
food
and
the
prices
pegged
to
it.
We
had
ordered
the
chef’s
choice
which
consisted
of
8
dishes
and
the
dessert
and
we
ordered
an
extra
dish,
the
hand
cut
pasta
with
the
lobster
tail.
We
also
had
2
glasses
of
wine
and
1
330ml
can
of
sour
beer.
The
menu
is
not
the
simplest
with
no
headers
to
inform
you
on
what
were
the
starters
or
mains
and
had
to
rely
on
the
staff
to
explain
them
to
use
(not
a
big
deal
in
my
opinion).
However,
do
not
be
misled
by
the
instagram-worthy
photos
and
I
do
respect
the
chefs
who
spent
their
time
plating
such
beautiful
dishes.
It
would
have
been
better
if
they
had
spent
more
time
improving
the
taste
of
them
instead.
None
of
the
dishes
stood
out
to
be
nice,
except
for
the
crispy
mochi
(I
wouldnt
call
it
crispy
in
anyway)
with
a
ham
and
cheese
twist.
The
dishes
were
mediocre
at
best,
which
made
me
really
annoyed
by
the
fact
that
they
have
such
a
high
review
rating.
The
two
dishes
that
really
put
me
off
were
the
lobster
pasta,
which
was
nothing
more
than
a
glorified
mee
pok
from
your
favorite
local
kopitiam.
The
pasta
was
slightly
overcooked
and
your
kopitiam
uncle
would
have
given
you
a
better
bite
on
your
noodles.
The
lobster
tail
tasted
frozen.
At
a
price
point
of
$48,
you
might
as
well
go
to
Bar
Cicheti
for
better
quality
pasta
at
a
more
wallet
friendly
price.
To
end
off
the
night,
we
were
served
the
caramelised
miso,
chocolate
pastry
cream,
mille-feuille,
rose
wine
gel.
This
definitely
ruined
the
whole
experience
was
not
much
thought
was
put
into
the
dish
other
than
the
aesthetics.
When
you
cut
through
the
mille-feuille,
the
pastry
breaks
and
separates
the
two
layers,
which
means
you
had
to
have
them
separately.
This
was
also
when
I
was
overwhelmed
with
the
flavor
of
the
Sentosa
waters
in
my
mouth
as
I
consumed
the
caramelised
miso
and
pastry.
It
was
nothing
more
than
saltiness
🤢.
Total
damage
including
service
charge
and
taxes,
$313.
(Half
this
amount
would
have
been
the
most
reasonable
tbf).
As
I
went
home,
I
got
more
and
more
disgruntled
by
the
fact
that
the
meal
was
so
dissatisfying
and
ripped
a
hole
in
my
pocket
as
I
have
been
to
so
many
other
places
that
served
way
much
better
food.
Even
after
a
week,
and
writing
this
review.
It
invokes
that
same
feelings
of
dissatisfaction
I
had
with
my
meal
on
the
11th
of
Jan.
TLDR:
I
will
never
return
to
this
place
and
the
food
is
way
too
expensive
for
the
standard
they
have.
I
have
eaten
at
many
restaurants
which
serve
much
better
food
and
with
a
bottle
of
sake/alcohol
at
similar
prices
or
more
reasonable
prices.
You
can
definitely
skip
this
place
and
spend
your
money
somewhere
more
worthy.
