Loved the Deep-Fried Soon Hock / Marble Goby Fish so much, that we got additional servings of it.

The Pan-Seared Scallops, Chef's Special Sauce wasn't quite what I expected, as it features tender juicy scallops coated in a thin crisp batter, with sweet savoury flavour.

Garnished with Chef's secret sauce, which contributed salty savoury spice notes. Actually, I would have liked it better if it wasn't battered.

The Deep-Fried Eggplant, Pork Floss was pretty good. The thin sliced and battered eggplant / aubergine / brinjal has a crisp crunch to texture, with a gentle vegetal sweet salty flavour.

The wispy chewy pork floss lends a meaty savoury note. Visually though, it doesn't look like much.

The Sweet Corn Broth, Crab Meat is really filling.
.
The thick gloopy egg drop soup is filled with wispy egg, juicy corn kernels, and chunks of deshelled crab meat, resulting in a vegetal sweet savoury eggy flavour, yum.
.
Makes you feel full really quickly, which isn't great at a buffet, and is therefore best shared.
.
.
.
Limited to 1 serving per person, the Double-Boiled Abalone Consomme, Cordyceps Flower is incredibly delicious.
.
The thin broth is packed full of herbal sweet savoury earthy flavour, so addictive.
.
A whole abalone sits within the tea pot, staff prompted us to remember to eat it, and it was tender bouncy with sweet savour herbal flavour. We wished for more.

4⭐ Make a reservation at Yan Ting to clock Amex Marriot Bonvoy credit and to stack on the Amex Love Dining Restaurant where 50% discount is applicable to the ala carte food items. Ordered 3 dishes and 2 rice. The glass vermicelli dish is generously filled with large prawns. I have never ate a bad glass vermicelli dish before except once in a Thai restaurant at Tampines. This dish usually will never go wrong. As WB has never ate vension before, he ordered this dish. I had ate many years ago but I have forgotten the taste. Well, there's no gamey smell which is a big turn off for me. The meat is chewy and slightly tougher than beef. On hindsight, I shouldn't have ordered the kurobuta pork recommended by the waitress, cos the type of meat used is those shabu shabu pork. I would much prefer a thicker texture kurobuta pork. The dish itself is slightly sweet since it's cooked with barbeque sauce.

They help you to wrap it up and put the appropriate amount of the sweet sauce in it. The duck skin is crispy and it is a solid bite.
Served in a teapot, this double boiled soup was the best dish of the night. The delicious soup has the flavour profile of essence of chicken and black garlic.
This was one of the better dishes here at Yan Ting. Had a set lunch menu, dishes were reminiscent of what you would expect from a Chinese hotel style wedding dinner. Another good dish was the Cod Fish, nicely tender! However the other dishes were pretty one dimensional and average
Went to Yan Ting for a birthday celebration on a Sunday afternoon and opted for the Brunch ($128/pax) just because ala-carte would have costed almost the same for 5 of us.
Started off with a lobster w egg yolk which was part of the brunch. It was alright nothing special (i guess lobster to justify the hefty price tag). To make the best of our bucks, we ordered a myriad of dishes and tbh, i would say they are your average Chinese tzi char dishes with a few exception of unique/rather expensive ingredients. Would I say it’s worth the $128? Given the location, service, food served i would say maybe for some but to me not really. I’d rather spend that money at Kai Garden (still the best Chinese restaurant to me)

Super interesting! Filling was liquidy almond paste and a piece of lychee. The only sweetness was from the lychee, and that really made the lychee taste stand out.
Had many good ones this year, and this was one of the memorable pots.
My faves lean towards the deep, sexy, heady variety, and Yan Ting’s Chinese New Year Pun Choy was as va-ba-vroom as it gets! One sip and confirm you’ll feel Huat!
