Each recommendation is available by the glass (starting from S$12.00).Here are the recommended highlights during our media tasting session.
Signature Braised 10-Head Australian Dried Abalone in Abalone Sauce S$228.00++ per piece
The chef took a whole week to prepare the dish from rehydrating to simmering and braising the dried abalone. This explains the bouncy texture and fork tender abalone with umami abalone sauce. It is indeed a luxury dish to slowly savour it.
Stewed Chicken Claw
Not everyone is a fan of chicken claw aka chicken feet but I liked it. The stewed method gives a nice gelatinous layer with savoury abalone sauce all over it. The abalone sauce is made with dried abalone sauce, concentrated chicken broth and jinhua ham.
Crispy Golden Tofu
Crispy exterior and silky soft interior tofu which is recommended to order when you are here.
Signature Charred Honey BBQ Kurobuta Pork S$20.00++ & Crackling Pork Belly S$18.00++
Kurobuta Pork is prepared Hong Kong style with a combination of savoury and sweet. You can taste the slightly char and smoky flavour too. Not to miss the crunchy and fatty pork belly too.
Double-boiled Sea Whelk with Kampong Chicken Soup S$78.00++ per pot (4-6 pax)
Comforting clear broth with nourishing elements in it. The soup is prepared without additional salt or seasoning in it.
Stir-fried Japanese A4 Wagyu Beef Cube with Spring Onion in Black Pepper Sauce S$98.00++
Tender and juicy beef cube with black pepper sauce.
Steamed Live Marble Goby ‘Soon Hock’ with Garlic and Beancurd Skin S$13.00 per 100gm
Beautifully steamed fish that comes with beancurd skin and Shunde-style soy sauce.
Baked Live Prawn with Vermicelli in Black and White Pepper S$10.00++ per 100gm
