Chef of the Century descends upon Resorts World Sentosa
“Exhilarating” and “bliss” are just a couple of choice words to describe Chef Joël Robuchon’s food. The great Chef Robuchon is the world’s most decorated chef with 26 stars in the 2010 Michelin Guide.
And he’s coming to Resorts World Sentosa!
In early 2011, Chef Robuchon will be bringing his three widely successful concepts to Singapore: Joël Robuchon Restaurant, L‟Atelier de Joël Robuchon, The Pastry Shop and Lounge.
It doesn’t just stop there. On top of great food, patrons can also expect a stellar team of chefs, maître d and stewards, all handpicked from his dining establishments to spearhead the three outlets.
Mr. Robuchon said: “Joël Robuchon Restaurant will be a fine dining restaurant with the quality of service of a three Michelin-star dining establishment as it currently exists in Tokyo, Las Vegas and Paris, while L‟Atelier de Joël Robuchon is a different innovative concept. It features a „convivial‟ atmosphere, where I wanted to stage the chefs in a central kitchen in full view of the guest, without any manager. The guest, seated at the counter, can see his product being transformed, everything is transparent, and he can even follow the cooking of his meat on the teppanyaki or on the spit of the rotisserie.”
If you’re not familiar with who Joël Robuchon is, just check out his list of accomplishments.

Valentino Facts:
Valentino’s love for fashion manifested when he was in primary school, and the interest grew into a burning passion, leading him to pursue it in Paris at just 17.
In 1959, he left Paris and opened his own couture house in Rome. For his first fashion show, he pulled out all the stops; every aspect of his show was grand, complete with models flown in from Paris for his first show, in bright red dresses. The brightly hued dresses would later be coined by the fashion industry as “Valentino red”, and became his signature colour.
One of Valentino’s famous clients is Jacqueline Kennedy. In 1964, she commissioned Valentino to design a complete wardrobe to mark the end of her mourning for her husband. In fact, Valentino presented his famous “White collection” in 1968, in which Jacqueline Kennedy chose the dress from for her marriage to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.
In addition, Valentino was also the couturier of the world’s most famous actresses in the 1960s: Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth and even Audrey Hepburn. Since then, many of the rich and famous have walked red carpets the world over, dressed in Valentino.
Valentino’s last haute couture show in 2008 saw a return of many renowned models, including Eva Herzigova, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Nadja Auermann, Karolina Kurkova and Karen Mulder. Velentino’s work is now carried on by his successors.
