Tao

Why Go

Variety is key here—from the requisite dim sum to Malaysianinspired fusion creations such as poached lamb fillet served bak kut teh style and chilled mango puree with cendol.

Tatler tips

For good value, look to the set lunches, which are very attractively priced. Dim sum is a must- try at Tao and guaranteed to please discerning fans.

• Be sure to order dim sum favourites such as the oven-baked egg tarts and deep-fried mango prawn rolls.

• From the a la carte menu, try the Peking duck, which is grilled to a crisp, and poshed up with foie gras, truffles or eringi mushrooms.

• Adventurous diners should try the fried Canadian oysters with mango salsa dressing, or the poached lamb fillet served bak kut teh style.
