Kai Garden @ Marina Square - Celebrate 10th Anniversary with New Creations and 50% OFF Selected Dishes

Kai Garden celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a specially curated menu by Group Executive Chef Fung Chi Keung, showcasing both signature favourites and new creations featuring premium ingredients like crab roe and black truffle. Diners can enjoy 50% off one selected dish from the anniversary menu (with no minimum spend), making this a great time to revisit or experience the restaurant.

Steamed Crystal Dumplings w Morel Mushrooms 4/5

The Steamed Crystal Dumplings with Morel Mushrooms ($11.80) stood out for their delicate execution. The skin has a thin, almost mochi-like texture, giving it a slight chew while still feeling light. The filling is fresh and flavourful without being overpowering, allowing the earthy notes of the morel mushrooms to come through nicely.

Baked BBQ Honey Pork Pastry 4/5

A dim sum classic, the Baked BBQ Honey Pork Pastry ($9.80) delivers with its buttery, flaky crust. What I appreciated most was that the char siew filling wasn’t overly sweet, striking a nice balance that makes it easy to enjoy without feeling cloying.

Steamed Soup Dumplings with Crab Roe 4/5

The Steamed Soup Dumplings with Crab Roe ($12.80) may come across slightly premium, but the quality justifies it. Each dumpling is juicy, packed with umami and surprisingly not greasy. The vinegar served alongside is also worth mentioning! It’s not your typical sharp vinegar, but slightly sweet and ginger-infused, pairing beautifully with the dumplings and elevating the overall experience.

Braised Seafood Thick Soup in Stone Pot 4.5/5

The Braised Seafood Thick Soup in Stone Pot ($38) is generous and indulgent, loaded with premium ingredients such as sea cucumber, fish maw, dried scallops, and even bird’s nest. It’s rich, collagen-packed and served piping hot in a stone pot, making it both comforting and luxurious. This is a classic Cantonese soup done well.

Crab Roe with Pan-Fried Hor Fun 4.5/5

Crab roe dishes seem to be having a moment, and Kai Garden’s version with Pan-Fried Hor Fun ($48) is a solid one. The rice noodles have a nice wok hei, complemented by the savoury depth of cai poh and fish sauce before being topped with a luscious crab roe sauce. I particularly liked that it’s served over a flame, keeping the sauce warm, as it can develop a slightly fishy note once cooled. Portion-wise, it’s generous and easily shareable among 3–4 diners.

Black Truffle Roasted Chicken 5/5

The Black Truffle Roasted Chicken ($32/half) was a pleasant surprise and a clear standout. The skin is crispy, the meat tender and juicy, and the truffle aroma is subtle. The truffle profile is not overpowering, with a slight hint of Chinese herbal notes that adds depth. A well-balanced dish that feels indulgent without being heavy.

Kai Garden’s 10th anniversary menu brings together the restaurant’s strengths, refined Cantonese classics with a touch of modern luxury through ingredients like crab roe and black truffle. While the dishes lean towards a more polished, fine-dining profile, the 50% off promotion on selected dishes makes this an especially worthwhile time to visit and try some of their highlights. If you’re planning a meal here, I’d recommend going with a group so you can try a wider variety, especially the soup, hor fun and roasted chicken.

Located at The Pier at Robertson is a new Chinese Restaurant, Tang Lung (唐龍) that offers Chinese Cuisine from various regions with a modern twist. It is an exciting dining option for the area as there isn't really any Chinese cuisine selection at Robertson Quay. Its opening complements their sister restaurant Le Fusion a few doors away.

Truffle Mushroom Crystal Dumpling 4/5

For dim sum lovers, you will be delighted to know that Tang Lung is offering All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum Buffet every Sundays from 3 to 5pm, priced at $26.80 per adult and $16.80 per child aged 6 to 12 years old.  For the month of October, one diner gets to dine free for every two paying adults for the Free Flow Dim Sum Buffet.  Each diner is entitled to a bowl of freshly made to order Chinese la mian noodles and can order unlimited dim sum. 

Pork Siew Mai with Salted Egg Yolk 4/5

Customers can look forward to dim sum creations such as Truffle Mushroom Crystal Dumpling ($8.90 for 4pc), Pork Siew Mai with Salted Egg Yolk ($7.90 for 4pc), and Pineapple Char Siew Tart ($6.90 for 3pc).

Pineapple Char Siew Tart 3.5/5

Truffle is added to the mushroom crystal dumpling for an elevated earthy aroma on top of its textural enjoyment. A surprise burst of salted egg yolk is nestled within the pork siew mai. A re-interpretation of the polo baos into a pineapple char siew tart. All these creations, give the same old dim sum staples, a new lease form of enjoyment.

Deep-Fried Soon Hock in Superior Soya Sauce 4/5

Besides the creative dim sums, you can also find classic dishes such as the Deep Fried Soon Hock in Superior Soya Sauce. Deep-fried to crackling crispiness, while preserving the freshness of the meat within, rounded off with Tang Lung's special superior soya sauce.

Steamed Flower Crab in Shaoxing Wine 4.5/5

A star dish at Tang Lung is the Steamed Flower Crab in Shaoxing Wine. Two flower crabs lie on a bed of vermicelli noodles, soaking up the delicious sauce. The sweetness of the flower crab is further enhanced with the addition of fermented rice, spiced Shaoxing wine and chicken oil.

Steamed Glutinous Rice with Crab Roe 4.5/5

Be prepared to wait for at least half an hour for the Steamed Glutinous Rice with Crab Roe. You will not regret it. The glutinous rice is mixed with shiitake mushrooms, shredded dried scallops, and yellow crab roe, steamed together with the crabs inside a cheesecloth, imparting an umami taste to the rice.

To celebrate the restaurant's opening, customers get to enjoy the Steamed Glutinous Rice with Crab Roe at 50% off.  Priced at $78.90, this means you get to enjoy it at only $39.90. Promotion is available for dine-in only and while stocks last. Do order in advance to avoid disappointment, as there is a limited quantity of crabs availability daily.

Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushroom in Chinese Herbs

A highlight at Tang Lung is the nourishing Braised Sea Cucumber with Mushroom in Chinese Herbs ($68). It is cooked with ingredients that have medicinal properties such as Chinese angelica root, black sea cucumber and Chinese yam root. The best part is actually the tasty broth that is the essence of the pot of treasure. It is best to drench the broth onto a bowl of steamed rice and have it together with the rest of the dishes.
