I have heard a few of my peers giving remarks that this restaurant is an example of Chinese Fine Dining so I need to provide my insights as well. To put things into my perspective I would say this food joint does provide a tasty and historical experience as the restaurant has been renovated from a typical looking Chinese design to a much larger building with a mixture of Chinese and Dutch architecture hence it brings back the feeling of dining during the colonial days.

This restaurant is not catered for fine dining but they do offer a wide range of food selections in their menu ranging from affordable to "high class" pricing . It depends if you're ordering merely mushrooms and scallops or with abalone. If you are going for expensive ingredients then you should be able to pay the price.

My personal favorite dish would be the Yin Yang Fish

Ordered claypot bacon with salted fish- poor taste, salted fish wasn't done properly and the after taste was rather bad.
Fried chicken wings with fried garlic was average...
Food quality need improvement, otherwise i wont go again

Recommended by locals, be sure to make reservations if you are heading there. Even though they have a huge capacity with 2 levels, they may have special occasions where they hosts local weddings. We ordered salted egg chicken, soft shell crab and a couple of other dishes and enjoyed the dinner! They have a special apple and potato drink that we didn't get to try.

The suckling pig is really worth going for. The rest of the dishes is not that good. The toufoo was swimming in source. The stew Pork leg was a little dry.
Just go for the suckling pig.

Had wonderful lunch with family here, their pork dishes are very tasty. Plenty of parking available outside of the restaurants. It can get busy, do try to book in advance. Price would not be in the low side.
