Not a fan of putien.

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.

Enjoy, doc. 🙂

For me, Sg restaurants are top class. Malaysia street food is stop class. 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. 😁

paying bill would be the less stressful for me cause it's expected.

enjoy. look forward to your photos later

They look super good. Glad you and wife enjoyed it. I see they also take pride in decorating their food.

Were you full after the lunch?

Another beautiful platings by them! Now I can see why you're so full 😁

Maybe I should try and visit one soon, you piqued my interest to try them out 😃

😁

I'm such a noob at this. I see there isn't any Michelin in NZ. Now I am out of choices.

I am heading to Tokyo next month and Malaysia end of the year, let's see if I have time to research where to dine

Queue for HOURS. If only I am in the mood. Do you have any restaurants to recommend, let me check them out. Staying near Tokyo station.

Thanks a lot in advance.

You are such a low-key connoisseur, please share with us your amazing adventure with us in the future

Thanks, have put in my list to go. Will update you if I visit this place.

This is an amazing list. Let me try and visit at least 2 during my trip there.

I am excited now. Thanks so much!

Hi fuzzy, it will be a work trip. Michelin formal website links those restaurant to Omakase and Tablecheck. Thanks, will register an account there. You are right, I am also not keen to venture non-Japanese food. Thanks for all the tips, I am spoil for choices now

I have a few colleagues and close friends in Tokyo, now that you have mentioned, I will definitely get them to help.

Ah damn, lost a sushi spot! If you are free, 16 + 3 digits is pretty easy to remember, can start memorizing

(Will have many chances to do so, almost go there every year except Covid time).

I am, but all itinerary has been set. I will only stopover for 2 hours and it's night. Return flight stopover will also be wee hours of the morning and a short period. Will keep that in mind, thanks.

You are right. I have never thought of that, I usually don't think much about stop over. Will do better planning next time.

Will try a longer stopover when coming back to Malaysia - I do need to meet someone in Sg as well

Good morning doc

Thanks, I have added it to my list.

Your party sounds delicious. I will only land on the 16th for a week. Can meet for sure if you are still around.

Thanks, next time yup Enjoy your BBQ

Hi Doc, wow, another round of Les Amis where there are 8 others 2-3 stars restaurants in Singapore. Enjoy!

Will take more photos, so excited for the upcoming trip

it's a larger crowd this time, of course, always go to the restaurant you are familiar with and love their food.

will wait for you to tick off all michelin starred restaurants in Singapore

Another stunning deco. Look at those ingredients: caviar, truffle, lobster, wagyu, seabass. They don't come cheap.

And the meet up was priceless I bet 😬

good friends are hard to find

good old friends are harder to find

good old friends where wife gets along are like searching for a needle in a hay stack

catching up is always a nice thing!

On plane flying back to Auckland. An update on the food I've been eating.

Nakajima Michelin 1 star was nice. Professional and the atmosphere was good too. However seeing a lady, they only gave us half a bowl of rice while others got a full bowl. Still good overall.

My favorite and best noodle so far is sobahouse Michelin 1 star. The broth is top class.

Tsujihan is not Michelin rated but it's GOOD. So good I ate twice..

Ikinari steak was super delicious. Not michelin. I could eat twice but couldn't stand my clothes ended up with sizzling smell so didn't go there again.

Now the not so nice:

The over rated one is fuunji. Long queue as well. When he asked if we wanted large size we said sure. And he got a shock and gave us normal size. Noodle was half cooked. The whole experience was bad.

Gyukatsu non Michelin which has a rating of 4.7-4.8/5 on Google. Seems like a must try. long queue but I think overrated too. Around 2k yen to sizzle some non flavored beef and the coating wasn't crispy. Ikinari wins.

Will post some photos once I settle my work stuff. The attached is tsujihan which I could eat every week if I live there 😁 sorry ts for spamming some non Michelin places as well.

Sobahouse has a ticketing system. According to hour. But still need to queue. Worth going to 🙂

My overall trip has been queuing. Which made the food much more delicious 😅

Sobahouse in Tokyo. 1 Michelin.

The best noodle I've eaten in Tokyo.

The broth is like animal bones been cooked for days. Just delicious

They'd recommend some salt broth as the most popular. Don't get that, get the animal bones broth.

Go early to get a ticket then queue. You need to get ticket and queue. The seating are by hours. 10 to 11. 11 to 12.

1250 yen. Worth every yen spent.

Nice area to walk too, nearby can see many western fast food places like domino's kfc mcd mos burger which was interesting . Nearby has garden but need to pay.
