Had the calligraphy 3-course menu for Friday lunch. Overall quite an enjoyable experience but not really Michelin 2-star standard.Bread was reasonably nice but the butter was nothing special. Amuse bouche was one of the highlights of the meal - all 3 were innovative and delicious, not to mention the great plating. 9/10I got the amaebi for starter. Interesting sauce that reminds me of japanese miso/fish stock. However the prawn itself was rather soft for my liking. 7/10I had squid while my friend

I got the amaebi for starter. Interesting sauce that reminds me of japanese miso/fish stock. However the prawn itself was rather soft for my liking. 7/10
I had squid while my friend has chicken for main. I must say it was a bit below my expectations given the accolades of the restaurant. 6/10
Afterwards the meal went uphill - both the dessert and petit fours were spot on. We had peach dessert that was plated beautifully. The peach wasn’t extremely sweet but has a natural combination of sweetness, acidity and texture. 8/10
Petit fours - brittany pastry, japanese melon, cognac chocolate tart
I especially like the chocolate tart, it offered a mix of natural bitterness as well as sweetness. The crust was also light - excellent ending to a meal. 8.5/10
We got a glass of Condrieu each at $95 which in my opinion was great value. Complex yet dry, perfect for pairing fuller seafood dishes as well as white meat.
Given the hype I had honestly expected more especially for the mains. But the amuse bouche, dessert and petit fours gave a brilliant start and finish to the meal. May return
