Jason Kwong JK Luxe Truffle Claypot Rice
Signature claypot rice dishes are enriched with decadent truffle butter and premium toothfish or barramundi for depth of flavour.
The show stopper here is the claypot rice with toothfish! WOW! It's a must share, super rich and luxe with the truffle butter lacing.
Dinh Phong NGUYEN Atmospheric Date Night Setting
The dining room pairs dark, moody interior styling with relaxed, unhurried background music suited for conversation.
The music was chilled and not too loud, so it didn't interrupt the meal. The decor itself is super moody and dark, which really adds to the atmosphere.

Dinh Phong NGUYEN Rice Bread
The unassuming rice bread starter belies its delightful taste, soft yet crispy, slightly sweet contrasted with the salty butter.
Charlene Jee Beef Short Rib
For mains, the beef short rib is an extra $25 add on. Its sweet galbi flavour is reminiscent of marinated KBBQ meat but in an elevated manner, paired with delicate potato pavé and chimichurri.
Charlene Jee Braised Ox Tongue Donut
The braised ox tongue donut is a MUST. Similar to 'ham sui gok' at dim sum restaurants with the moreish fried glutinous rice dough shell.
