Tong Restaurant

Dark, woody and elegant atmosphere. A little broody too. Seating is comfortable and voice is usually kept at a low hum. Good quiet acoustics. Staffs are attentive and helpful. I ordered the experience menu. It comes with the usual starter, appetizer, mains and dessert. I ordered an extra octopus leg as we were a little hungry. Generally, they were all delicious except one. Their plating, arrangement, visual representation were pleasing. The taste is fortunately not overwhelming and has a great play of flavours which are well thought of, and yummy. The menu is well designed and all the parts complemented each other quite well. The only dish I didn't quite enjoy was the steamed snapper. It was fairly ordinary and I felt outside shops can prepare it better. But it's not a fail. It's just too average to leave any impression. There is, however, a puzzling thing. When we left after dinner, there was a board with a list of dishes. This was not communicated to me. If I had known that there were other dishes available other than that stated in their menu, I would definitely have adjusted my orders accordingly. Seeing that menu board left a strange unfulfilled sensation in my palate and a sad feeling in my gut. Anyhow, it was generally a good meal except for that uninformed menu choices that would have made my experience even better.

A masterclass in personalised dining at Tong Restaurant. From the moment we ( me, my husband and son) arrived, Eugene and Shafiq set the tone with warm, intuitive service that felt more like hosting than hospitality. Every detail was considered, every interaction thoughtful. The “Experience Menu” was a layered showcase of culinary precision. Each dish was bold, balanced, and deeply satisfying. What truly elevated the evening was how they made it special for my son. No kids menu? No problem. They suggested fish and chips, which he devoured happily. And the customised dessert with his name? That little gesture made his night, and mine. Cocktails were spot-on, too. Crafted, not poured. The entire experience felt curated, not just served. Thank you, Eugene and Shafiq, for making it memorable in all the right ways.

For some celebration, I have looking for a fine dining and TONG was one in my list to be picked. When we walked in welcoming by the waiters, brought us to our reserved table, it’s so nice with the environment in it. We have ordered the package 388++ for our dining, it was superb and amazing from the way they made it. I always love mashed potatoes, so I added one side dish, it came with real truffles making me falling in love with it. Anyone who is looking for mixed Asian fine dining, it’s recommended.
