Chef Chan's Restaurant

331 North Bridge Road, #01-02 Odeon Towers T. 6250 3363

Chef Chan is known to be one of the best Cantonese chefs on the island. Not surprising, his one and only restaurant serves an amazing roast chicken with the crispiest of skins and the most tender of meats.

Another signature dish is the black pepper beef that is well marinated with the spice, and a melon in orange juice that is served cold. Another item that I always have is the soup of the day - though it comes in individual portions only, its quite a sizeable and can actually be shared.

As we had lunch over the Chinese New Year week (ok, this entry is way late), we also had the salmon yu sheng or lo hei, a mix of shredded vegetables topped with slices of raw fish (salmon or a local catch) drizzled with lovely plum sauce, crackers and spices. The last few ingredients are put together in front of the diners and good tidings are recited with each addition. All diners are required to toss everything together (the higher the better) to get the prosperity, health, etc, going.
