Diners can expect to enjoy exquisite Cantonese dishes, each complemented with a premium tea sourced from the Wuyi Mountains in Nanping.
The tasting menu kicks off with a portion of sparkling Da Hong Pao with delicate notes of white peach and red muscat to wake your taste buds, followed by Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong – Lychee from Miles Away, an aromatic black tea, served alongside a chef’s selection of dim sum and steamed scallop with tofu, egg white, and zucchini.

Lai Ching Heen’s tea-centric menu wraps up with a dessert of chilled yellow fungus featuring delightful add-ins like salted wild tangerine, mixed nuts, and chestnuts. This refreshing full stop to the meal comes with a da hong pao tea pastry with aged tangerine peels and rock sugar-stewed Sicilian lemon, and is sure to be a delightful end to your culinary journey.
