Yàn’s menu gets a refresh in the hands of Ng Sen Tio, a chef who has worked at Chinese restaurants in Singapore for the past 30 years.

For regulars, Yàn’s new menu will not look drastically unfamiliar. Signatures such as crispy roast suckling pig and the steamed kampong chicken with ginger and spring onion are firm fixtures. But new head chef Ng Sen Tio, formerly from Joyden Treasures, brings with him a sensibility for flavours that pay homage to the heritage of local Chinese cuisine.
