My Humble House 寒舍

This upscale art piece of a restaurant opened by a group of Singaporean investors is anything but humble. My Humble House claims it serves the biggest abalone you’ll find in town, alongside such made-to-impress dishes as tiger prawns the size of small lobsters, hongshao rou (Mao’s favorite dish, so we’re told) and a gargantuan dessert platter featuring mango, kiwi and coconut puree, fresh fruit and the requisite dried ice for effect. The restaurant demonstrates a “dining as art” approach, with poetically named dishes and carefully sculpted presentation. The self conscious decor includes a bamboo grove and reflective pool covered in rose petals - however the overall effect is somewhat diminished by the staid office park surroundings of Oriental Plaza. Predictably, this luxury doesn’t come cheap, so have a credit card ready. Reservations are recommended.

Excellent service

Review of My Humble House

The staff were absolutely switched on even with most of the tables occupied. The kind of food isn't really my cup of tea as I'm used to things being either sweet or savoury as opposed to both at the same time, but to each their own.... A strange almost Brunelesque arch ceiling main room (which perhaps would have benefited being hidden by a suspended ceiling) but on the whole a pleasant experience.

You'll love it - if the boss pays

Expensive but very chic - tables set around a square lake, shark-fin jelly and foie gras on the menu, Canadian icewine and super cool people. It's located in the basement of swish serviced apartments beside the Grand Hyatt. Can be a bit tricky to find so get directions from one of the attendants outside the hotel.

Modern Chinese Food-Excellent taste AND healthy

This is like the only good place near the Oriental Plaza Mall. It's a little pricey and a little...pretentious. All of their food's names are like sentences of Chinese poems. You don't know what you are eating unless you read the English. The food itself is excellent and really healthy, unlike most of the greasy Chinese style. My favorite affordable dish is the crab&spinach soup. I actually can't remember the names of the dishes I had, they are so long and complicated.
The service is super, but of course they charge extra for it. The decor is, I suppose, very impressive. It's a huge place with a water stream thing both outside and inside the front door. You can sit right next to it if you want. I like the down to earth cozy kind of environment better though.
