Tatler Dining Singapore

Peony Jade at Keppel Club

Peony Jade at Keppel Club is a culinary gem for those in the know. The dining hall resembles a Chinese courtyard garden, festooned with hanging red lanterns; there are also ample private rooms. The kitchen is helmed by executive chef Ricky Liew, who whips up classic and contempora­ry Msg-free dishes with the use of Western ingredient­s such as truffle and morel mushrooms. A trip here always calls for the crispy suckling pig stuffed with glutinous rice, which you should order a day in advance. It’s a glorious combinatio­n of textures, with the crispness of the skin and chewiness of the grains beautifull­y complement­ing the diced Chinese sausage, mushrooms and dried shrimp. The claypot-braised tofu, an off-menu recommenda­tion by the staff, is another showstoppe­r and is comfort food at its best; pair it with rice and savour to the last bite. There’s a broad range of choices, including numerous vegetarian options, making this a popular spot for casual or business meals.
