TATLER TIPS

Lai Po Heen serves up a stellar menu of Cantonese favourites, from live seafood and abalone to more humble offerings that are no less exquisite in presentation and flavour.

• Don’t miss the signature beef cubes in black pepper. The kitchen has got it pretty much right and the taste is simply amazing with tender meat scented with aromatic black pepper and rich with flavour.

• Other dishes guaranteed to win the table over: the butter oat prawns, the egg white fried rice with scallops and the salted chicken that’s crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

• Try the durian pancakes; you won’t be wanting to share these.
