As per their Facebook page

Let Chef Wan take you on a heritage culinary journey through South-East Aisa’s legendary Spice Trail and be inspired by his exotic recipes from the regional cuisines of Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam. His gastronomic cuisines consist of 80% of heritage recipes, whilst 20% of his other recipes are drawn from his extensive travels from all over the world. Example, be surprised with his superb creations of Japanese sushi. Other than the exquisite buffet spread, Chef Wan has a cooking studio within the 450-seat restaurant, where he will hold live cooking demonstrations whenever he is in town. The restaurant will also carry his signature rumpah (spice blends), condiments and sauces as well as his sought-after cookbooks.

The Food



The Ambience. Cosy and nicely decorated huge 450 seater restaurant.


The current controversy

2nd time there, I brought Mom, Dad, Haziq and Hana. By then, it's extremely difficult to secure a reservation as their lines are forever busy. We were told reservation is full till end of  the year. Since it happened to be my weekday off, I went and Q up as early as 11:30 am. 

The Q at 11:30am (Opening time)


Will I come back again? Definitely! Not for the food, but for the ambience and price. It's still much more cheaper than Straits Kitchen and food is comparable. So why not. 

But I'll wait till all Singaporean has tried and got sick of the food so it will be less crowded. It's so crowded on my 2nd time there. What with all the makcik2 shoving and grabbing food macam piranha. The staffs too couldn't cope with the high demand and took slightly longer to replenish the food. Waiting time for the satay is 15mins. 

You go figure.
