Heard alot about the Chinese food here at @myorestobar and had a chance to try a variety of their dishes 😍 I must say that overall, the food quality here is really good and definitely fit for family meals and gatherings! Here are my favourites:
The Kia Hiang Claypot Spring Chicken ($26) is their speciality and I can see why. The chicken itself was incredibly tender and all drenched in a sweet savoury sauce that had a deep herbal flavour as well. The cabbage is cooked till really soft as well. Really comforting dish I don't mind having again.
Garoupa Fillet in Claypot with Garlic and Ginger ($22/30/38) - this dish was kept very simple, yet incredibly well executed. The fish slices had a firm bite and were tender; they were lightly seasoned by the sauce which had simple garlic and ginger flavours. Once again another comforting dish.
Crispy Yam Bag with Scallops ($5.50 each) - yes they may be expensive but once again this is one dish executed well. Really crispy exterior with soft creamy yam paste and snappy scallop, the contrast in texture was well appreciated.
It can be quite pricey, but still, a solid place to bring your family for celebratory meals!
Another must-order is the dessert, their Young Coconut steamed with Peach Gum and Egg White ($9.00). Served in its husk, the cold version was the perfect sweet finale as the coconut egg white pudding was surprisingly fragrant and moreish. The combination was not overly saccharine or heavy. You have to love the velvety texture of the steamed egg white too! The jelly-like Peach Gum was the icing on the cake and added a refreshing touch.
We had the Grilled Miyazaki A5 Wagyu ($45 per 100gm) too as part of the set which didn’t look like much at first (at the initial glance seemed dry and well-done) but was super tender and succulent. Thinly sliced, the protein wasn’t too lean and had a pleasant beefy flavour (great even without the sauce on the side).
Discovered a new family favourite at Myo Restobar, where the star of the show was their signature Kia Hiang Claypot Spring Chicken ($25). The hunky (70g) chicken dish arrived enveloped in caramelised cabbage, generously drenched in a rich herbal sauce. Fall off the bone tender, the deliciously succulent chicken was so nicely seasoned. The savoury sauce was also bangin’ and lip-smacking - very good with a steaming bowl of rice, truly the highlight at the lunch table.

The first year we dine out for the reunion meal after the demise of my 大姨 and we miss her presence on such occasions. I have take it upon me to celebrate when my 干妈 and 姨姨 for the many remaining years I can. This year we visit a more casual family fare restobar recommended to me many year ago.
I reckon that MYO prides itself in comforting Chinese fare; the highlights of our set menu were the Lou Hei, Wagyu beef and claypot Garoupa. I prefer Lou Hei with fish but the abalone was cooked softly to complement the fresh platter of fibre and carbs with a house-made fruit sauce. Then the premium and well executed wagyu beef and fish gives you the bang for your buck in this set menu.
Another comforting dish was the signature MYO claypot chicken that had braised soft chicken meat and cabbage soaked in a glistening starched broth. Excellent with plain carbs, but not too salty on its own too.
My only gripe were the slightly tough abalone on the siew mai, and pork ribs in the other dishes we had.
A friend who frequents said we shouldn’t leave without trying the coconut milk dessert here, she was right for the husk of edible delicious coconut flesh had a Hokkaido milk based pudding with peach gum that would be a great conclusion to any meal here.

We tried @myorestobar Apple 1 Set Menu at SGD88 includes:
1. Siu mai with mushroom
2. Dumplings with mushroom
3. Kia Hiang Claypot Spring Chicken
4. Fried prawn tossed in salad cream
5. Sauteed Yi Fu Noodles with Chives
6. Dessert
The claypot spring chicken does leave an impression as is very tender and full of flavour. Other dishes are on point and tasty. The coconut dessert is very unique with yummy custard (need to top up $5 tho). Is a spacious restaurant which is good to dine with family and friends.
COCONUT DESSERT = 💯
DIM SUM = 💯
CLAYPOT CHICKEN = 💯
AMBIENCE = 💯
SERVICE = 💯
Support local and come to try this hidden gem in the CBD area. The food quality is so good and so affordable. Definitely will come here again.
Uniquely presented. Coconut pudding is lightly sweeten with coconut water. Topped with peach gum. Steamed in coconut shell, bringing out the fragrance in it. Serving in hot or cold. I prefer the hot version..
Rating : 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Crispy skin tofu topped with baby abalone. A dash of oyster sauce over it. Very delicately presented. Tasty and fragrant.

We had a group lunch and ordered the Mango Set which has 10 courses, and a mix of fusion Chinese food. The crispy yam bag with scallops is really surprising and the flavours balanced so well, which is really pleasant for someone who doesn’t like yam. The truffle dumplings with shitake mushrooms are delicious too, if you like truffle. The rest of the menu can be found on their website. Overall, really good quality food and a very great experience with nice ambience and very welcoming staff.
ordered their signature claypot chicken with no regrets. both the cabbage and chicken were well seasoned and tenderized. also ordered their signature mushroom dim sum dumplings. filled with shiitake mushrooms and chestnut. earthy flavour.
Wanted to try peach gum ever since I saw it on Foodking but turns out it really taste like nothing lol. There's this very very faint astringency and herbal note but that's about it. It's cooked with this white thing that my parents said was beancurd but I believe it's egg white as there's this slight savoury note. Anyway it was completely filled with the taste of coconut so quite delicious. There's even a peeler for the coconut flesh but this dish has a 30min wait. Order it when you start the meal or else you're in for a long night (but try their durian mochi first, it's awesome!)
The sauce is pretty unique as it was a dark sauce with this strong taste(I'm guessing Chinese wine). I'm not personally the biggest fan of the sauce but it was acceptable, though the chicken pieces were very tender.
Greens were cooked well and the garoupas were really meaty. But I would recommend their chicken dishes as they do their chicken exceptionally well
