Eating at the best restaurants in the world is one of the reasons why I travel. And for the longest time, I have always been curious about Michelin food. Questions like, what is it really like to dine in a Michelin starred restaurant? Why are they so prestigious? What’s the big deal? Is the food really worth the exorbitant price? I needed some answers. So, with my hard-earned money and a camera on one hand, I jetted off to Singapore to get my Michelin fix!
I decided to dine at Joel Robuchon! It is the first and only 3 Michelin starred restaurant in Singapore! Owning 22 restaurants, Celebrity chef Joel Robuchon has 31 Michelin stars in total! What a legend in the culinary world! Undeniably, the “Chef of the century”!
8:00 pm: I arrived at Resorts World Sentosa. The moment I stepped into the main restaurant lobby, I was politely greeted and escorted to a corner table. I was seated in a lavish couch with plush throws! The lighting was gentle and soothing. It was impossible not to notice the stunning chandelier gracefully hanging in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by lush flower arrangements and lovely linens. WOW! That European high society feeling!
I sat in anticipation for my first dish. To my surprise, a bread trolley was wheeled to my table. Three full tiers of freshly baked goodness! I couldn’t stop popping baguettes, croissants & brioche in my mouth! Oh, I love my carbs!
