As we made our way to our table, we passed by an impressive display of live seafood tanks that immediately caught our attention. The tanks were filled with an array of fresh seafood, from lively crabs and lobsters to vibrant fish, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality and freshness.

The clear glass and bubbling water created a captivating scene, giving diners a glimpse of the premium ingredients that would soon grace their plates. It added an interactive and lively touch to the dining experience, setting the tone for the feast ahead.

While waiting for our dishes to be served, we enjoyed a soothing cup of Chinese tea. Presented in an elegant teacup with intricate patterns and a gold-accented handle, the tea was warm and aromatic, setting a relaxed and refined tone for the meal ahead. It was the perfect way to start our dining experience at Fu Yuan.

This dish had us guessing when it was served at the table. The Crispy 'Bing Chuan' Brinjal is made using brinjal sourced from high-altitude, cool-climate regions, known for producing firmer, low-moisture vegetables. Their unique growing conditions result in a denser texture, setting these brinjals apart from the usual varieties we're accustomed to. The crunchy bite, which retains the brinjal's natural sweetness, was truly commendable.

In addition to the marinated raw crab on the menu, the chilled drunken yellow roe crab is another classic Teochew dish. Prepared exclusively with live female crabs to ensure peak freshness and flavour, this dish is served chilled. It showcases the natural sweetness of the crab and the richness of its roe, offering an authentic taste of traditional Teochew cuisine.

The Red Wine Snow Pear offers a delightful balance of sweetness and subtle acidity, making it the perfect complement to the rich, smoky flavours of the Grilled Black Char Siew. The pear’s texture is crisp and juicy, with each bite offering a refreshing contrast to the tender char siew. Its delicate red wine infusion adds a sophisticated depth, enhancing the pear’s natural fruitiness while infusing a gentle warmth. This pairing creates a harmonious dance of flavours that brings a fresh, slightly tart note to the otherwise savoury dish, elevating the overall dining experience.

While dining in a Teochew restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised to see Fu Yuan embracing Cantonese flavours with their Grilled Black Char Siew dish. The uniformly cut, glossy slices of meat were expertly charcoal-grilled to perfection, resulting in a caramelized crust and tender, flavorful meat. This dish is a true delight for anyone who appreciates the rich and robust tastes of classic Cantonese cuisine.

One of the quintessential Teochew dishes showcasing the chef's skill, this plate of Hor Fun was irresistibly addictive. I found myself going back for more, even at a sharing table! Each bite was bursting with the smoky Wok Hey aroma, while the sweetness of the egg perfectly balanced the savoury notes of the preserved radish. The addition of finely chopped Kai Lan brought a delightful crunch that elevated the dish further. To top it all off, the use of fragrant, crispy pork lard added an indulgent richness, making this dish absolutely unforgettable.

The Teochew-Style Pan-Fried Oyster Omelette is a timeless classic that beautifully reflects the rich heritage of Teochew cuisine. Its perfectly crisp exterior is skillfully crafted into a round shape, delicately cradling the plump oysters beneath.

No Teochew meal is complete without ending on a sweet note with the traditional dessert, Orh Nee. This rendition was delightfully smooth and creamy, striking the perfect balance without being overly sweet. Served on a soft bed of yam paste, it was beautifully topped with ginkgo nuts and pumpkin, adding a subtle nuttiness and a hint of natural sweetness. A classic dessert done just right!

Another dessert we tried was the Peach Gum with Hokkaido Milk—a unique combination that was entirely new to me. The delicate sweetness of the peach gum paired with the creamy richness of Hokkaido milk made for an intriguing and enjoyable treat. A refreshing twist to round off the meal!
