Ah yat abalone at life centre

Why Go

It may be better known as the place to go for abalone, but Ah Yat does not disappoint with its extensive selection of traditional Cantonese delicacies.

Tatler tips

While there is a comprehensive a la carte selection, the many set menus available give good value and the opportunity to sample delicacies prepared with quality ingredients.

• Be sure to check out the roasted meat speciality with glutinous rice stuffed inside a crispy roasted chicken wing and a small serving of suckling pig on the side.

• The flavourful Mexican abalone stewed in a light red sauce is a sound choice. The crunchy yet tender abalone retains much of the flavour of the sauce and clearly proves to be the main attraction for most diners here.
