Ate at Burnt ends 4 times over last 1 year... bookings down to luck, mainly because of last minute cancellation so i could get table the next day etc (need to check their website very regularly).

Cooking is of very high quality but the food is very "intensely" flavoured so it's high in fat/salt. Enjoyed it but I think I've sampled enough so most likely will only visit once a year at most going forward..

Burnt ends has slot now for 2nd Aug. I recalled you wanted to try before..

Need to check very (very) regularly.. the slots I got are usually last-minute cancellations. Couple of times I got dinner slot within same week (even Friday and Sat) so cancellation happens a number of times as it's free to cancel within 48 hrs i think..

I’m more excited to see you try and get your honest opinion because having tried few times I really think it’s somewhat overhyped haha…

The cooking is good and they deserve 1 star for sure but i dont understand why it’s so hard to reserve…

Dinner available 19 july. Quickkkk

Yeah usually it gets taken up super quickly...
Maybe try and look at 10am and 10pm every day (I think they release new ones in morning but cancellation usually happen at night in my experience).

My wife don't allow me to book anymore as she jelak already haha

In Singapore I've been to Zen, Odette, Les Amis, Labyrinth, Cloudstreet, Cut, Marguerite, Corner House (lost their star and closed). Favourite in Singapore is probably Zen but I heard standard has dropped since they changed chef. I also really like Corner House..

Best so far I had is Per Se in New York and a 2 Star Restaurant (L'abeille) in Paris Shangri-La which has long closed.
Per Se is a controversial choice because most people think that the food is boring and rather dated but the cooking and service were really on point during my visit. I couldn't secure booking to Atomix when I was in NY but would like to try it..

Worst for me are Le Bernardin in New York (really bad, even side bread was cold) and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (the 3 stars one in London).

Zen was not good at all on my first visit (acidity is out of whack; I could only taste sourness in everything). Second visit after 1 year gap was much much better. So the inconsistency is not so good.... it may dropped off from my ranking if I visit the third time so I won't do it.

Should definitely try Labyrinth.. it's a fun experience.
