The
welcome
snacks
were
decent,
but
nothing
outstanding.
The
donut
seemed
average
and
greasy,
while
the
impromptu
shrimp
taco
was
good,
and
the
onion
tart
was
delightful.
The
following
appetizer,
mushroom
tea
-
a
mushroom
soup
infused
with
truffle,
offered
a
rich
and
dense
mushroom
broth
with
the
essence
of
truffle
-
was
delicious,
akin
to
immersing
oneself
in
a
forest
basket
full
of
mushrooms.
The
first
course
composed
of
sea
urchin
caviar
and
black
caviar
with
mousse
and
shrimp.
Since
I
initially
warned
that
I
did
not
like
sea
urchin
caviar,
they
replaced
the
dish
from
black
caviar
to
crab
accompanied
by
apple
and
avocado.
The
crab
taste
was
overshadowed
by
the
apples,
making
it
an
inadequate
substitute
for
black
caviar
in
both
price
and
flavor.
I
told
the
waiter
about
this,
he
offered
to
bring
me
this
dish
with
caviar,
but
then
he
conveniently
forgot
about
me.
Their
renowned
signature
egg
dish,
featuring
yolk,
potato
mousse,
and
chorizo,
presented
a
good
blend
of
raw
yolk
with
salty
chorizo
and
soft
potatoes.
However,
the
inadequate
amount
of
chorizo
left
one
with
only
a
regular
yolk
in
the
end,
which
was
rather
disappointing.
For
an
additional
$100,
my
husband
upgraded
the
dish
to
langoustines
with
truffle
generously
sprinkled,
creating
a
delicious
and
harmonious
blend
of
flavors.
It
seems
that
to
enjoy
something
truly
tasty
at
this
restaurant,
one
must
be
prepared
to
pay
extra.
The
fish
crudo
course
with
dill
received
no
complaints,
while
the
scallop
with
chicory
was
flavorful
but
somewhat
simplistic,
not
quite
fitting
for
a
three-star
establishment.
Now,
onto
the
most
disappointing
aspect
-
the
main
signature
dish.
The
medium-rare
roasted
pigeon
had
a
peculiar
taste
reminiscent
of
offal,
with
a
slightly
strange
smell.
This
type
of
meat
may
not
appeal
to
everyone,
making
its
presence
on
the
menu
somewhat
odd.
We
expressed
our
dissatisfaction
with
the
dish
to
the
waiter.
We
were
offered
chicken
as
a
replacement,
which
turned
out
to
be
simple
chicken
sous
vide
lacking
any
distinctive
flavor
or
complexity.
At
$490
on
the
menu,
this
dish
felt
uninspired.
The
waiter
suggested
an
alternative
-
foie
gras
with
abalone
broth,
which
proved
more
intriguing
than
the
previous
dishes
but
failed
to
deliver
a
phenomenal
taste.
Visiting
a
restaurant
with
a
three-star
rating,
we
expected
surprises,
unique
culinary
experiences,
and
intriguing
flavor
combinations
to
expand
our
palate.
However,
all
the
dishes
at
this
establishment
seemed
basic,
using
common
ingredients
readily
found
in
any
restaurant.
Singapore
boasts
a
high
standard
of
dining
establishments,
making
it
perplexing
how
this
restaurant
attained
three
stars;
having
visited
over
15
Michelin-starred
venues
worldwide,
we
would
rate
this
at
most
one
star
due
to
the
lack
of
innovative
solutions,
interesting
flavor
pairings,
or
premium
ingredients.
Though
some
dishes
showcased
creative
techniques,
it
was
insufficient.
Desserts
were
unremarkable,
merely
sweet
cakes
lacking
balance
or
contrasting
flavors
to
offset
the
sweetness.
Service
The
service
was
inattentive,
with
dirty
dishes
left
unattended
on
the
table
until
a
new
dish
was
served.
To
sum
up:
Drawing
from
my
extensive
experience
dining
at
Michelin-starred
establishments,
I
can
conclude
that:
-
Service
falls
short
of
high
standards
-
They
don’t
have
their
own
toilet,
only
a
shared
one
in
the
gallery,
it
takes
3
minutes
to
walk,
where
the
cabins
were
found
to
be
unclean.
-
The
cuisine
is
simplistic,
lacking
fascinating
flavor
combinations,
textures,
or
premium
ingredients.
Despite
the
$490
set
menu
price,
the
offering
fails
to
reflect
the
expected
quality.
If
you
have
visited
most
Michelin-starred
restaurants
in
Singapore,
a
visit
could
be
considered;
however,
if
not,
we
do
not
recommend
it.
There
are
other
establishments
more
deserving
of
your
attention.
