Of the 4 carefully prepared sets to choose from, Executive Sous Chef Tan Tzaan Liing’s exclusive Golden Phoenix-inspired menu is the highlight of the highly anticipated pop-up. Chef Tan comes from a long line of chefs and has more than 35 years of experience around Asia. Honouring tradition, Chef Tan will be paying homage to the Golden Phoenix’s popular dishes while embracing modern taste buds with his recreations. This menu features dishes such as the Golden Phoenix Classic Tasmanian Salmon and Tropical Caviar Yee Sang, Wok-Fried Boston Lobster with Kaffir Lime Leaf Mayo and Golden Garlic as well as the classic favourite from the 1970’s, Loh Mai Chi with Fried Nian Gao.
