First Look: Madame Fan
"Madame Fan is set to open at the newly-refurbished NCO Club in Beach Road on April 23. The restaurant is the brainchild of famed London-based restauranteur Alan Yau. The Look: The 467-square-metre space feels like stepping into an ornately-adorned mansion, with a classy main dining room that is a throwback to dinner clubs in the post-war era. The Food: The menu is decidedly Chinese, incorporating a mix of 'what goes on in a dinner party at Alan Yau’s home'. Helming the kitchen is chef de cuisine Mike Tan. Dim Sum items include the usual char siew bao and siew mai, and the Mooli Puff. Other dishes include hand-cut Taiwan noodles studded with wind-dried pork and la la clams, and wonton noodles served with lobster, ginger and spring onions. One of the desserts is a tart raspberry sabayon. Expect to pay about $80 to $120 per person." - Kenneth Goh
