Since 1982, Summer Palace has been at the forefront of Cantonese fine dining in Singapore. Proudly reopening within the iconic Conrad Singapore Orchard, this Michelin-starred stalwart seamlessly melds tradition with modernity. A full-on feast for the senses, Summer Palace starts by captivating you with stunning handpainted De Gournay wallpaper, depicting scenes of the original restaurant, before immersing you in a menu that will delight your palate.
At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Liu Ching Hai who has over 30 years under his belt. Together with his culinary team, they prepare seasonal menus of à la carte and tasting sets that embrace the timeless trifecta of colour, aroma, and taste. The rotating spread ensures that only the freshest ingredients are used.
Look forward to dishes such as double-boiled soups made with superior stock simmered for 12 hours with old hen and Jinghua ham, vibrant seafood dishes, and fragrant stir-fried creations whipped up with “dragon’s breath” in a Hong Kong-forged cast iron wok. It's a beautiful dance between millennia-old Cantonese techniques and modern flair.
Summer Palace’s drinks menu is equally distinguished, featuring a curated selection of Chinese teas and tea-infused cocktails. Let tea sommelier Liu Tian guide you through an aromatic adventure of tea appreciation, complemented by signature drinks like the Summer Palace Martini and the Tie Guan Yin Old Fashioned. The wine list, curated by Park90, showcases fine Chinese wines alongside global classics, emphasising boutique producers and artisanal vintners.
Even after four decades and a makeover, Summer Palace hasn't lost its touch. It's a Cantonese heavyweight that's become a local legend, dishing up stellar food in a luxurious yet inviting space. Fancy a night of pure indulgence? Look no further.
