My first Michelin 3-star. I had a good time there, but maybe my taste in food is so cheap I can't really tell what's so magnificent about this place. Or is it because we were there for lunch?

Among all the Robuchon, the one in Macao is known to be the one with the most reasonable priced Michelin experience. But I wonder if it's because of that, it was below my expectations. It wasn't bad, but it was just not a wow-experience. The weather was not on our side that day either, it was really foggy and the view of Macao was minimal. The side we sat on was a bit tight, but there was more privacy compare to the dining room.

We chose the Menu Plaisir which includes Appetizer, Soup, Main, Cheese or Dessert, and Coffee or tea with mignardise. And we paired it with the Discovery Degustation which includes 2 glasses of wine. The wine is chosen by the manager to compliment with the dishes that we ordered. The lunch took around 2 hours because there's a long gap before each dish. Although each dish looked like they weren't much, we were actually quite filling that we didn't even eat dinner.

The Amuse-Bouche was good with quail egg tempura and caviar. My appetizer had more caviar (which I think they replaced it with sea urchin in recent menu, much better idea since there's already caviar in the first dish) with some asparagus. The other appetizer was crab meat and avocado cannelloni, both of my favorite ingredients. What's not to like? My favorite has to be my main which is Duck Breast with Foie Gras. They put the two together really well. On the other hand, the black cod as the other main was just OK. I personally think having bok choy on the dish kind of made it look cheap. I go grocery shopping so I know how much the bok choy cost.

With no doubt, I think their bonito broth with shrimps was the most disappointing menu. They made it very fancy by putting the broth in a tea pot and pouring it into the bowl in front of you. But it tasted like a udon soup broth (except a little bit cleaner minus the MSG). This was definitely a wrong choice.

The dessert cart was the highlight! I honestly thought it was all you can eat, but I was sad to find out I can only choose 2 from the cart. Then again, I was stuffed from the food before haha.

Overall, I believe the Michelin experience was not as expected. But with the price we paid for a Michelin 3-star I think it is forgivable. The food was decent but it was not memorable, there was not a yearning-for-more feeling. I am more interested in making a visit to other Robuchon locations.
