FOOD

The menu presents plenty of creative, modern reinterpretations of traditional dishes in a variety of choices. This innovative expression is revealed in some of the restaurant’s most appealing dishes such as the age-old food of Guangdong immigrants to Singapore, Fried Rice with Char Siew, Pork Belly and Pickled Long Beans; Shanghai-style purple rice-stuffed lotus root with osmanthus syrup; the exciting Duck Breast, Beef Tripe & Ox Tongue with Sichuan Chilli Dressing. Dim sum lovers are sure to delight in the range of offerings, both sweet and spicy such as the delicately made the steamed dumplings with porcini mushrooms and pok choy and its thin translucent skin. Purple sweet potatoes stuffed with salted egg yolk is an unusual dim sum dish you will meet on the menu. The Singapore-inspired Chilli Crab Xiao Long Bao and the very inventive Purple Sweet Potatoes with Salted Egg Yolk still packs quite the punch with its hearty character. You may round off your gastronomic voyage with the perfect dessert: Satay-spiced Ice Cream with Peanut Dust, Fruits & Nuts. Cosy cocktail bar, fine wines and other beverages are available to complement the soul-satisfying dishes.
