Yan Ting Singapore: Exquisite Cantonese Fine Dining at The St. Regis

Michelin-Recognised Cantonese Excellence

At The St. Regis Singapore, Yan Ting has earned its place among the city’s finest Cantonese restaurants, consistently recognised by the Michelin Guide and named a Tatler Best Singapore 2025 Recommended Restaurant. The team’s dedication to time-honoured techniques and premium sourcing makes every meal here a quiet, confident statement of culinary mastery.

Atmosphere and Origins

The name Yan Ting evokes an imperial courtyard, and the 128-seat dining room carries that grace with sophisticated interiors, warm lighting, and the hallmark St. Regis elegance. It is a setting that suits both business elites and families seeking a memorable meal. The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in drawing out the natural flavours of the freshest produce, using classic Cantonese cooking methods that have been refined over generations.

Chef Chan Chung Shing

Executive Chinese Chef Chan Chung Shing (陳宗城) grew up in Hong Kong, where family meals at local restaurants instilled a deep appreciation for authentic Cantonese flavours and meticulous preparation. Now at the helm, he revitalises traditional dishes with shrewd selections of quality ingredients. His approach is solid, unflashy, and deeply respectful of the craft.

Signature Dishes

Yan Ting’s menu is a showcase of Cantonese depth. Standouts include crystal shrimp dumplings with caviar, mushroom dumplings with black truffle, and Peking duck served two ways. The barbecued delights section features crispy suckling pig stuffed with glutinous rice and Hong Kong-style roasted suckling pig. For those who love seafood, there are live fish preparations, braised abalone, and nourishing double-boiled soups such as fish maw consommé with sea whelk and cordyceps served in a whole coconut.

Weekend Dim Sum Brunch

The restaurant’s weekend dim sum brunch is a beloved ritual. On Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, guests enjoy a flowing parade of handcrafted dumplings and premium beverages, including champagne. Two seatings are available, and the experience is designed for unhurried gatherings with loved ones.

Yan Ting remains a benchmark for Cantonese dining in Singapore, where tradition and precision meet effortless luxury.
