They serve high quality modern Chinese food where you will find local celebrities dining there so the food must be good.
Here was what we had:
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Shark bone and fish maw soup:
This was soup boiled with shark bones and fish maw hence the lovely milky cream colour.The star of the soup was the 1.5cm thick fish maw that had a super sticky texture so you could imagine how much pure collagen was in it.
It was such an unforgettable experience eating this because it was so soft and extremely gelatinous which meant it was good in quality.

Crispy sea cucumber with goose feet:
Goose feet and sea cucumber are always paired together but the special thing about this dish is that the sea cucumber has a crispy surface as it has been coated in a light coating and fried.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fish head soup with Chinese Angelica and Ligusticum wallichii (Szechuan lovage)
This is a herbal soup that is good for you. For more details the staff will happily explain it.
Anyway, I loved it because it had a strong fish taste with a nice bitterness from the herbs.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Spicy shaomai
These shaomai are no ordinary shaomais because they are spicy with a lovely Sichuan kick to it.I loved them because the spiciness balances the heaviness of the pork.

Charsiu buns with pineapple
These charsiu buns will give you a surprise because it has real pineapple that is not sweetened hence they are very moreish.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
The palace box:
A good sampler of nine items but the only problem is that they are quite filling so probably a good idea to share this.
The nine items are: chilled abalone, fig in sesame sauce, chilled tomato and crystal lettuce, fried quid patty, preserved egg and ginger, stuffed okra, salt and pepper bombay fish, fried pigeon egg and sweet and sour pork.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆Sizzling roast pork
This was juicy tender charsiu on a bed of deliciously sweet soya beans.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Fish slices in hot chili oil
The fish slices were silky but because they put okra in this dish, the fish was even more viscous with a strong spicy taste that was a bit too spicy for me.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Tri colour steamed piggy bun:
I loved these buns because they used vegetable colourings which you can really taste.The green one has a spinach taste, the orange has a carrot taste and the pink one is beetroot.
Inside the bun was this delicious soft custard filling that was not too sweet.

Pomelo sago:
This was served in a beautiful Thai style bowl, the crispy sago pearls gave it an interesting crunch that you will remember.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Hot sago pudding:
The puddings come in these gorgeous Le Creuset pots which are tempting to take home.Anyway, I liked the warm sago pudding because it wasn't too sweet.
