For dinner, there are two sets of chefs tasting menu, with the Journey ($125++) to the Experience ($168++), a multi-course meal that pays homage to Chef Glen and Chef Alex’s past culinary voyages and memories from their growing up years. To complement each of the dishes, there will be a beverage pairing menu with tipples such as Moscato, red, white and cocktails that have been specially concocted and chosen, with an additional top-up of $144++ if you are taking the Experience menu.

The Experience starts off with a variety of one-biter snacks with the pork jelly to represent the Teochew pork trotter jelly appetizer to kueh pie tie, tofu, a molecular explosion of laksa topped with caviar and a bread & butter dish with uni. The next starter was the Foie Gras of goose liver drizzled with a braising jus before the comforting bowl of Duck, a soup of Sze Chuan salted vegetables with shredded duck paired with the freshness of savoy cabbage and tomberries. Perhaps the dish of the evening and star of the show was the Frog Legs that is reminiscent of the times in Thailand, and this time round, the deboned meat is cooked in a Thai green curry style with lemongrass and Thai basil. Absolutely stunning of a dish with excellent flavours and presentation that is topped with a coconut cloud and eggplant chip.

The following Toothfish was a delicate piece of fish that is similar to cod with its buttery texture that is topped with ikura and this dish was inspired by the Chinese hairy crab that Chef Glen used to enjoy a lot back in China. For this dish, he topped it with crab roe to give it the additional boost of umami with a baijiu reduction sauce. The main course was an Aged Yamaguchi Wagyu served with a Taiwanese claypot rice that has been infused with wild mushrooms, another dish that left a lasting impression. The sweets were followed next starting with the Calpis course of a yuzu sorbet, kiwi and a milk meringue before the curtain call of an amazing Toast of buttered brioche with a kaya pandan coconut ice cream.
