Tang Palace Chinese Restaurant has officially reopened its doors after a remarkable transformation
Known for its legacy in delivering authentic Cantonese cuisine, Tang Palace has reimagined its entire concept, from the atmosphere to the menu. The result is a beautifully refined space where timeless tradition meets contemporary sophistication. Designed for both intimate moments and grand celebrations, the newly renovated restaurant offers an inviting yet elegant ambiance that suits any occasion.
The transformation of Tang Palace goes beyond just a visual upgrade. It reflects a renewed purpose to become a destination for memorable dining and meaningful moments. The interiors now feature a more luxurious look, blending classic Chinese elements with modern aesthetics. Four private VIP rooms offer privacy for special gatherings, while the main dining hall, which can accommodate up to 100 guests, provides a grand setting for weddings, birthdays, or formal business events.
At the heart of the restaurant’s revival is its culinary team, led by Executive Chinese Chef Simone Li and Dim Sum Chef Chong Loong Fatt. Together, they bring a fresh perspective to Cantonese cuisine. The menu has been carefully curated to offer a harmonious mix of classic favorites and new creations. Signature highlights include Crispy Lychee Shrimp Balls, Double-Boiled Morel Mushroom Soup with Preserved Scallop and Chicken, and the flavorful Crispy Pork Knuckle Tang Palace.
The dim sum menu also reflects a blend of tradition and innovation. Guests can enjoy Steamed Scallop Dumpling with Pumpkin Sauce, Steamed Layer Cake with Salted Egg and Custard, and Deep-Fried Yam Puff filled with Duck and Seafood. Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, with attention to detail, flavor, and presentation.
Chef Simone Li shared her excitement about the reopening, saying, “The reimagining of Tang Palace allows us to present Cantonese cuisine in a refined and modern way, while staying true to its traditional roots. Each dish tells a story of flavor and heritage.” Dim Sum Chef Chong Loong Fatt added, “We’ve kept the heart of our dim sum but added creative touches that will surprise and delight. It’s a fresh take on what our guests already love.”
With its elevated atmosphere, authentic cuisine, and world-class service, Tang Palace is ready to welcome guests into a renewed space that feels both familiar and new. Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special milestone or simply enjoy an exceptional meal, Tang Palace promises an unforgettable dining journey.
