What to Order
Abundance (Japanese sea bream in mala consommé)
This perfectly cooked Japanese sea bream is served in a mala consommé, offering a memorable tingling sensation from the peppercorns.
"Our favourite course was definitely the Abundance (Japanese sea bream in mala consommé)."
Kathy Xiao
Caviar CSB
A luxurious starter featuring Kaviari Kristal caviar, sour cream, and a delicate beignet, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
"The caviar CSB is also one of the best things I’ve ever eaten."

Laksa (Nova Scotia lobster, honeynut squash, curry leaf)
A bold and flavorful dish featuring tender Nova Scotia lobster, sweet honeynut squash, and aromatic curry leaf, delivering a rich and satisfying experience.
"The lobster laksa dish was also very bold in flavour and I really enjoyed that."
Veronica Wong
Phở (Wagyu, marrow, Thai basil)
A refined take on pho, this dish features tender wagyu, rich marrow, and fragrant Thai basil, capturing the depth and complexity of the classic in an elegant bite.
"One standout for me was the “pho in one spoon,” which is honestly my favorite version of pho so far. It perfectly captures the depth, warmth, and complexity of a classic pho in a single, elegant bite—comforting yet incredibly refined."

Black Sesame Lantern (with fermented rice sorbet)
An artfully crafted dessert featuring a black sesame mousse shaped like a lantern, paired with a refreshing fermented rice sorbet and delightful textural elements.
"If you are big fun of black sesame dessert like we are, you will be more than happier to see the red lantern cake with the tiny golden year of horse chocolate plate and lantern handle decor! They are too adorable to eat! AND they are so so delicious and the mochi added in the the sesame filling also gave the texture to the bites and make the flavors stayed longer!"

Cocktail Pairing
A thoughtfully curated selection of cocktails designed to complement each course of the tasting menu, often with creative names and unexpected twists.
"The cocktail pairings were spot-on: thoughtful, balanced, and clearly designed to dance with the food, not step on its toes."
