QUOTE(hksgmy @ Jul 27 2023, 08:00 AM) Hahaha.. I appreciate the honest and candid assessment! I'm local (still a Malaysian) and my palate is obviously very Malaysian, so I was hoping that Michelin would have taken that into consideration when they awarded their stars, but judging from your comment, the guide may have just been another shiok sendiri gegosok bebird moment for the Ang Mohs.... Have you tried any of their Michelin starred places yet? I purposely go try the so called Michelle 1star putien restaurant at gurney. It was good but other place also same as good I never will understand why they can get star.others don't. Owai singpore also have hahaha

The table setting is so packed, worse than school canteen, so they can max out their revenue per Sqf. Table is so tiny you can barely put anything on it. Food meh. No need to go back, agree.

Eating at a fancy place actually stressed me out as I need to dress eat and behave in a certain way. The different sizes of cutleries confuse me as well. I just need a spoon a knife and a fork max. 😁

To be honest, at restaurants like Les Amis, Odette and/or Zen, they place the cutlery for you at the start of every course - and for the canapés, they even recommend how best to eat it with your fingers: one whole bite, or 2 separate bites. It’s stress free… except when it comes to paying the bill hahaha

Lots and lots of caviar and the most juicy Wagyu tenderloin steak this side of town. The langoustine and the blue lobster were delicious - and the first photo, with the pomme de terre, that’s a Les Amis signature. All in, a good lunch.

Another case of the brain drain syndrome ... sigh. Sometimes, as a Malaysian, I don't know whether to be proud or to be sad ... or both.

Yes ... it was a 4 course meal, but we added extras as you can see from the bill (the supplements & the additional "potato caviar" - in actual fact, we added the blue lobster as an extra, but they charged us the cheaper "pomme de terre" since we are regulars. Quite nice of them to do so.

But like I said, the restaurant did give us a slight discount (the server did anyway) as we are loyal customers, so maybe that made a difference.
