SIP Wine Bistro @ Regency House - New Value For Money Lunch Set at $28++

SIP Wine Bistro at Regency House has recently updated its Lunch Set Menu ($28++), offering a concise but thoughtful selection.

French Onion Soup 4/5

Summer Green Salad 3/5

There are two options to begin with: French Onion Soup with Emmental Toast or a Summer Green Salad. The soup is clearly the more exciting choice. Made with veal stock, it delivered a delectably sweet profile with good depth and a tangy lift that kept each spoonful appetising. The emmental toast, however, could have been more indulgent. A thicker layer of cheese and a crustier, more rustic bread would have elevated it.

Local Red Snapper 3/5

The Local Red Snapper was an interesting take for mains, served with a light tomato dashi. The fish was nicely seared, boasting a crisp skin and a generous crack of black pepper, but it leaned too heavily on salt, and the flesh wasn't as tender as it could have been. That said, the tomato dashi was a highlight. It is delicate, savoury, and soothing, with Shimeji mushrooms and clams that add umami depth.

Pork Jowl Chashu 3/5

The Pork Jowl Chashu had great potential. The flavour of the pork jowl itself was excellent, but the overly fatty strips and uneven cut detracted from the dish's overall enjoyment. A better fat-to-meat ratio and more evenly portioned meat would have made a world of difference. On a brighter note, the rice it came with had an incredibly moreish texture, perfectly cooked and satisfying.

Lemon Basil Sorbet 4/5

Chocolate Pot de Crème 4/5

Dessert ended the meal on a high. The Lemon Basil Sorbet was refreshing and palate-cleansing, while the Chocolate Pot de Crème with Valrhona 70% was rich and indulgent, with a beautifully decadent finish.

Each lunch set also comes with coffee or tea, priced at $28++.

Tsui Wah 翠華 @ The Cathay - Opens 5th Outlet at Singapore's Iconic Landmark with New Exclusive Dishes and Drinks

Fans of authentic Hong Kong cha chaan teng fare have reason to celebrate. Tsui Wah has officially opened its fifth outlet in Singapore at the revamped The Cathay. As part of this exciting launch, diners can look forward to a refreshed and exclusive menu, stylish interiors that blend nostalgic charm with modern flair, and even a new bottled drinks collection for on-the-go indulgence.

Handmade Bitter Gourd Lemon Tea and Bottled Signature Yuen Yang 3.5/5

We began our meal with two new additions to the beverage menu: Handmade Bitter Gourd Lemon Tea ($5.30) and Bottled Signature Yuen Yang ($4.80). The former is an intriguing drink believed to have detoxifying properties. It is surprisingly palatable with only a light bitter aftertaste unless you bite into the gourd bits. The bottled Yuen Yang offers a smooth tea-coffee blend and is part of Tsui Wah's new takeaway drink series, available exclusively at The Cathay. Other bottled flavours include Coffee and Citrus Honey.

Scallion Oil Chicken Steak with Triple Eggs & Steamed Rice 4/5

This new main won us over. The Scallion Oil Chicken Steak ($14.80) is topped with fragrant scallion oil and three perfectly runny eggs on a bed of fluffy steamed rice. It is generous, satisfying, and very value for money. This dish is also available with pork chop instead of chicken. It is part of the exclusive offerings at The Cathay outlet.

Kagoshima-style Pork Cartilage & Wontons in Fish Soup with Mixian 4/5

Comfort in a bowl. This hearty Kagoshima-style Pork Cartilage & Wontons in Fish Soup with Mixian ($11.80) combines soft pork cartilage (think: stewed canned pork texture), plump wontons and a light fish broth. Perfect for a rainy day or if you're after something soothing and less heavy.

Tsui Wah's Signature BBQ Pork 3.5/5

The Hong Kong-style BBQ Pork ($13.80) is one of Tsui Wah's Signature dishes. It features tender meat but is a bit sweet for our palate. Nonetheless, it is a staple dish and great for those who enjoy a sweeter char siew profile.

Crispy Bun with Condensed Milk 4/5

No visit to Tsui Wah feels complete without this classic. At $4.20, the Crispy Bun with Condensed Milk is simple comfort food done right! It's crispy, buttery, and lightly sweet. Just be sure to eat it while it's hot, or the bun gets a bit tough when cold.

Hong Kong-style Egg Tart 3/5

A cha chaan teng essential, this Hong Kong-style Egg Tart ($2.20) arrived piping hot. The egg custard was fragrant, but the crust was denser than we preferred. It is a warm and satisfying bite.

Salted Egg Lava French Toast 5/5

My personal favourite from this tasting was definitely the Salted Egg Lava French Toast ($8.80). The sweet-savoury filling was rich and buttery, oozing out as you cut into the toast. It has crisp edges and a soft centre, and the salted egg wasn't overpowering. There's also a Curry Chicken French Toast variant we'll return to try next!

Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, the new Tsui Wah at The Cathay offers a refreshed and inviting space, plus exclusive dishes that make it well worth a trip down. We left full and satisfied, and are already planning our return visit.

To celebrate the new opening, Tsui Wah at The Cathay is offering a special set meal for just $15.80 (U.P. $20.10) from now until 30 June 2025.

The set includes:
– A main of either Scallion Oil Pork Chop with Triple Eggs and Steamed Rice or Scallion Oil Chicken Steak with Triple Eggs and Steamed Rice
– A drink of your choice: Handmade Bitter Gourd Lemon Tea or Handmade Lemon Tea

Available exclusively at The Cathay outlet.
