Here, patrons can choose to recline on plush animal-print velvet banquettes by the open kitchen and bar or opt for more intimate tables, including those gracing the secluded terrace.
&nbsp;
This intimate ambiance extends seamlessly into the sharing plate menu, boasting delectable appetizers such as crispy lemongrass chicken, Asian-style buttermilk prawn, and charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef ribeye with a tantalizing spicy peanut sauce. The dim sum selection, featuring har gow with tiger prawn and chicken shumai with truffle and foie gras, adds an exquisite touch.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Mains showcase culinary excellence with dishes like osmanthus plum-baked Chilean seabass and corn-fed chicken in a spicy peanut sesame sauce. Diver-caught scallops and Canadian lobster are also available upon request, ensuring a bespoke dining experience. Desserts, influenced by Western flavors and techniques, offer a satisfyingly indulgent conclusion to the culinary journey.
