I always tell myself, before stepping into a michelin restaurant, that the food is auxiliary to the experience of impeccable service and having good company.So, Petrus. Location: unbeatable. Heart of Admiralty cluster of hotels. up top. Excellent view. Breathtaking journey up the bullet (glass) elevator, magnificent mural. Service: excellent, as with all michelin restaurants. The receptionist knew my host by name, greet us, showed us to our seat, on the upper 'deck'. Attentive, polite, quiet. Br
So, Petrus.
Location: unbeatable. Heart of Admiralty cluster of hotels. up top. Excellent view. Breathtaking journey up the bullet (glass) elevator, magnificent mural.
Service: excellent, as with all michelin restaurants. The receptionist knew my host by name, greet us, showed us to our seat, on the upper 'deck'. Attentive, polite, quiet.
Bread + butter: you get to choose from the bread basket. There were a few types of salts to pick from as well.
Didn't photograph my starter quickly enough. But oh well you can see for yourself from the 2 photographs.
The broccoli pasts was...slightly off. disappointing. not exceptionally tasty, and a bit plain.
Dessert: dessert tower. you could pick your own, from a dazzling array of macarons, pralines, cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, candied somethings, etc. Eye candy. Delight to the eye.

As I always say, eating good food is as much about presentation as it is about the actual sensation the food item produces in your brain. The two should not be discussed separately. So, collectively speaking, I'd give them a smiley face. (implications)
And of course, the service you get, the novelty of the dining experience, the rent, the head chef's cheque...all add up to the staggering $4xx per head lunch. Yep. And when you push back your chair (actually, the waiter would do it for you), wipe your lips with that nice, pressed white handkerchief and sigh in deep satisfaction, you would think it's all worth it.
Yes, that is an effective resolution for the cognitive dissonance that one experiences in these circumstances: Effort (pecuniary) justification.
