Newly minted Michelin-star restaurant at RWS has impressed me again during my third dinner here, twice invited and once as paying customer with my wife.

This time it's for a 4 hands dinner, where head chef and owner Thomas van Santvoort (@santvoortthomasvan), of one Michelin-starred Flicka (@restaurantflicka) from The Netherlands, joined chef Richard van Oostenbrugge (@rvanoostenbrugge) at Table 65 (@restaurant.table65).

You know I've been to many 4 hands dinner, and this collaboration by far has the tightest integration. There's strong teamwork between Chef Thomas, Chef Richard, and with the kitchen, so Chef Thomas' dishes was well-executed, probably as good as it would be in his Michelin-starred restaurant in Netherlands. Moreover, dishes from two different chefs came out as one seamless menu (you know how some four hands felt like you were simply eating off two different menu packaged like it was one) - dishes from both chefs were very rich, creamy, and savory, although Chef Thomas exhibited a little more brightness in his dishes.

Although the heavy flavours in Table 65's dishes may not be for everyone, it worked for me each time I'm here. To me, deservedly Michelin-star indeed. Congrats once again!
