Enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine in this palatial restaurant, with its wide selection of dishes offered in a spectrum of portions.
TATLER TIPS
• Indulge in their dim sum buffet, which not only includes dumplings and buns but also a full course of appetisers, mains, and desserts.
• The pan-fried scallops with black truffle and minced shrimp bursts with a sublime earthy flavour without overwhelming the palate.
• Don't be fooled by the size of the ' dong po style' pyramid pork belly with mantou, as featured in the menu—one serving is enough for a small group of friends or family to enjoy its tender slices doused in rich sauce.
• A meal here would not be complete without the Red Lantern yang chow fried rice, a tasty mix of minced meat and vegetables topped with roe.
