Customer Testimonial

Tried the New Year brunch with free flow drinks ($188), food was delicious – they will serve you everything on the menu and if you like an extra portion, you can ask from them (although we never did because there was simply too much food). Had a boozy good time with my friends, would definitely come back again for the food and experience.

Great place to visit again.

Customer Testimonial

Finally! A location and view might not make you think it is a great restaurant but it is. I am not qualified to comment the services and the setup, with a 3 Michelin stars, no need for comment. Want to highlight 2 dishes today, the blue lobster and duck breast. The blue lobster is so good, it worth every penny. It must be a male lobster and freshly prepared. The duck breast, medium cook, it is so juicy and gave me a new experience of this dish. Blood must be contained to keep the juiciness. Great services, very attentive and not over sell. The breads, appetizers, ice-cream and chocolate are so good and it is worthy!

Food was fantastic and served fast. Love the smoked duck pasta and fish & chips with Tom yum salted egg yolk sauce. The fish and chips portion was huge too. But what I loved best was the attentive service by one senior uncle. He saw that we ran out of serviettes and replenished for us. The restaurant also gave us 2 cute mini mandarin oranges and 2 lollipops after our meal. A sweet touch to end our meal. Thank you!
