Aventador 6th Gear June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 (edited) Have eaten at many Michelin star restaurants around the world , and the truth is many are over rated For me , the important thing is the food. But to get 3 stars, you need to have food, service, ambience and whatever else the reviewers think is important. Ate at a few starred restaurants in Japan and it was disappointing for the hype and price. The neighborhood food shops were just as good or even better. I remember in Ginza I tried a 3 star sushi, after finishing that I was so disappointed I went a short distance away to a 1 star (now no star) sushi which was so much better Hong Kong Ritz Carlton Dim Sum was Michelin starred but food was not better than our Singapore Dim Sum restaurants. But if you have to go and try , I realize that the trick is actually to choose the 1 star restaurants rather than the 3 star ones. These 1 star ones usually get it because of the food. They don't have the fancy ass settings so don't get the 3 stars but it means the prices are also not too crazy. And the 1 star ones treat you better , while the 3 star places consider giving you a reservation as a favour Edited June 12, 2014 by Aventador 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Japanese friend brought me to one sushi restaurant near Tokyo JR station. It was great and he told me locals prefer this and other joints compared to Jiro and Mizutani.

Ender Hypersonic June 12, 2014 Share June 12, 2014 Overrated. Why you need ang moh to tell you good or not ? Taste is very subjective and varies greatly between cultures.I went to the tim ho wan at olympic city. Don't find the dim sum good. Only the char siew bao was above average. Not worth the queue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the 3 stars were disappointing. They basically speed feed you sushi and you will finish in about 35 mins. And pay a few hundred dollars for it. You cannot compare sushi dai type places with the top sushi restaurants in Tokyo Why Singaporeans think Tsukiji market sushi is so good is because 1) it is much better and fresher than places like sushi tei , sakae in Singapore which is their usual reference 2) got Japanese going hai hai hai, so taste better 3) after you queue up to 2 hours, have to say nice! Do note, even if you ask the locals where is good sushi, most of them will not know because the Michelin star places are priced out of most of their reach. The really good sushi places in Tokyo are much better than Tsukiji joints because they get the premium cuts of the fish as they willing to pay more (cause they charge more) Once you try one of the really good sushi places in singapore, eating sushi in singapore will forever be a disappointment for you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 Lol i think the steak at Skirt should deserve a 1 star. Haha. All the 3 stars were disappointing.

Well in SG, can always eat salmon sashimi and salmon based sushi. Haha cos there don't have. Fresh is important. I never knew what the fuss was about sea urchin until i ate it at a local shop at tsukiji. Thanks to the PRC server who told me what was good!

Dantanps 1st Gear June 13, 2014 Share June 13, 2014 Db Bistro @ MBS - technically not a Michelin starred restaurant but the owner Daniel Boulud has one in Manhattan. The food is nothing fantastic. that is one of the reason why I prefer restaurant that are owner chef . they take ownership as well as passion in cooking . I was in DB last month too and find the food very very average too ,They used to be better when they first open but the executive chef left if I am not wrong . ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
