To be honest, I have never heard of Famous Treasure until a couple of months ago when I visited it for a company lunch.

Famous Treasure prides itself for serving for "Nanyang" cuisine. I am not too sure what that exactly means but it probably means Singapore tzi char style Chinese food which is a mish-mash of various regional Chinese cuisine. Do not underestimate them though because I was thoroughly impressed by all of their dishes.

The volcano chicken is one of their signature dishes. The entire chicken on spit is first slow-cooked by pouring hot boiling oil over it to lock in its juices and keep the skin crispy. It is then finished at the table side by dousing it with alcohol and set alit in a visual spectacle.

I really enjoyed this dish. The skin is shattering crisp and the meat juicy and tender. It's a tad expensive indeed but they do run frequent promos when you can get their signature dishes at a significant discount!
