When a restaurant is helmed by someone with as long-standing a reputation as Majestic Restaurant’s chef-cum-owner Yong Bing Ngen – formerly from Hai Tien Lo at the Pan Pacific Singapore – you can almost bet that the eatery will always be buzzing with activity. And it is, thanks to the crowds who can’t get enough of Yong’s ‘well-executed’ (according to Van) Chinese fare with a modern twist. Dishes such as crispy prawns with a subtle wasabi dressing and the succulent Peking duck served with pan-seared foie gras have had critics like Wu raving about its ‘excellent Canto-classics’ since its opening.
Mains $15-$28.
