Steamed Garoupa Fillet with Caviar, Golden Superior Sauce and Chinese Mustard Green

The exclusive set menus include seafood dishes such as Steamed Garoupa Fillet with Caviar, Golden Superior Sauce and Chinese Mustard Green. The superior sauce was tasty - it was vibrant with sweetness from pumpkin, laced with a slight fruity tartness from tomato, and punctuated with hints of bitterness from the Mustard Green.

Roasted Australian Quail with Fermented Red Beancurd

This Roasted Australian Quail with Fermented Red Beancurd was mouthwatering the moment it was served, and it was indeed finger-licking good. The brine gave an excellent brush of umami-ness to the tender and moist quail meat.

Steamed Roe-Crab with Glutinous Rice

Our rice dish was a Steamed Live Crab with Roe and Wok-Fried Glutinous Rice with Hong Kong Chinese Sausage. I like how the sweet crab meat mingled with the savoury rice.

Bird’s Nest with Premium Hokkaido Melon

The desserts were definitely one of the highlights. Bird's Nest with Premium Hokkaido Melon carries the melon's natural sweetness with only a tiny amount of cream added to bring the ingredient together.

Cempedak Custard Golden Nian Gao Tart, Osmanthus with Red Dates Rice Cake

We had a taste of the newly launched Cempedak Custard Golden Nian Gao Tart (8 pieces Golden Nian Gao Tarts $32). A blend of creamy custard filled with sweet fibrous cempedak fruit within the crispy and buttery crust tart. We also sampled a piece of the Osmanthus with Red Dates Rice Cake 桂花杞子枣皇糕 ($58nett), which carries very soothing flora notes emanating from the osmanthus.

The signature at Tsukimi Hamburg has to be their Tsukimi Hamburg Don ($12.80), whereby a delightful orange Japanese egg yolk sits atop a succulent hamburg steak, grated radish and Japanese rice. The patty is hand-shaped in a blend of Mizyzaki wagyu beef, pork and US beef for optimal flavours and textures.
