The Experience

From Michelin Guide

Lai Heen champions modern Cantonese cooking deeply rooted in tradition and only the best ingredients make it to the table. Its signature steamed sunflower seed-fed chicken needs pre-ordering, while Australian lobster on egg-white custard wins the hearts of many diners. Dishes with Chao Zhou touches also fare well – try boiled, then chilled lime-scented yellow croaker with bean paste, or lemon-infused yellow croaker and thick fish maw soup.
