If you’re still searching for that ONE dish to add to your #CNY2021 table, @RegentSingapore Summer Palace’s 🧧Traditional Stewed Beef in Casserole (意气风发 $50, pictured is the large $100; available for takeaway and dine-in) should be at the top of your list!

Chef uses cuts of #beef, tendon, tripe and omasum so there’s a layered complexity of bite and textures, but it is that glorious, deeply savoury sauce that really makes your eyes roll back in satisfaction. 😍😂👍 #FindNewFood #RegentSingapore #SummerPalace

These were gifted! Comes in 8 flavours.
- Yuzu, spiced coconut, plantation rum (top left): yuzu was refreshing and sour, this was my fav part of the mooncake. The rum flavour was subtle, could have been stronger.
- Black sesame: it was quite gao but not overly sweet. Decent but not wow, and the skin was little less soft compared to the rest.
- Matcha: the matcha lotus paste was perfumed with a strong matcha fragrance, almost kinda flowery.
- White lotus: smooth lotus paste, nothing much to nitpick about
- Orange: the orange taste was pretty strong but not overwhelming, liked it! Pretty interesting, reminded me of orange cookies.
- Durian: more muted flavours compared to Goodwood park hotel’s / capitol kempinski hotel’s. Not the best.
- Lotus, white choc, cherry & pistachio (pink): not my favourite, the flavours didn’t go well together and I couldn’t taste the pistachio.
- Coffee, marzipan (brown): marzipan taste was strong, coffee flavour in the truffle encased within the mooncake was q nice but overall, this one was sweetness overkill.

We used to come here quite often: Among the better Chinese restaurants in the Orchard Road area, it's relatively easy to get a booking at the last minute, and they accept the Entertainer 1-for-1 offer (sadly, not any more). I have stayed away after the food poisoning scandal that caused it to get a C-good safety rating for a while. That temporary absence provided a fresh view of the restaurant: it's pretty good, but in all aspects (food, service, décor) it's significantly inferior to the Summer Pavilion at the Ritz Carlton- one rare instance where a Pavilion is better than a Palace! In the Orchard Rd area, I will go there only if I cannot get a last-minute booking at Jiang-Nan Chun, Hua Ting, Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck or TeoChew!

Jot this oriental beauty down for lazy group luncheons. Sure to hook you is their super fresh Steamed Cod (from $22) that stars a generous portion of moist and delectably flaky cod fillet steamed with sliced shiitake mushrooms, red dates and dried lily buds in a light soya sauce. Order the well-presented Lobster Dumplings ($10) for naturally-sweet mouthfuls of lobster, prawn, caviar and goji!
