Madame Fan

We had a private room for 14 and enjoyed a course meal. The restaurant was very attentive to our dietary requirements—they customized dishes accordingly: substituting beef with pork or chicken for some guests, and offering a vegetarian option as well. The meal was well-balanced, though having two soupy dishes felt a bit repetitive. Flavors leaned slightly salty but likely suited for a wide range of palates. Lovely ambience for hosting, with excellent service and friendly staff.

Outstanding service & even better food. This place is classy & it gives you a very nice vibe. It’s great to bring your friends for a nice meal. We went for the Sunday champagne brunch. It was so worth it, cocktails were excellent too!

Had family reunion lunch here. Food is served in small portions, but enough to taste its quality. Staff were attentive and helpful. Food was flavourful. On the expensive side, though.

21 Jan 2025. This was our second visit to Madame Fan for a Chinese New Year corporate lunch. While we opted for a more affordable set lunch this year, the service was unacceptably slow. Our lunch reservation started at 11:45 AM, and here's how the dishes were served: 12:00 PM: Yusheng was served along with 2 plates of in-house bak kwa. 12:30 PM: Sea cucumber almond chicken soup (a 30-minute wait after Yusheng). There's no chicken. 12:45 PM: Shallow Fried Soon Hock. (Trust me, zi char soon hock taste better) 1:07 PM: Australian ribeye beef cubes. 5 cubes only(nearly a 20-minute wait for the third dish). 1:23 PM: Stir Fried Asparagus (by this point, the delays were frustrating). 1:38 PM: Crab roe Inaniwa Udon and dessert were served together. Honestly, for a reputable restaurant, this is disappointing. On a weekday, one would expect a well-managed establishment to allocate sufficient staff or have contingency plans for any shortfalls. It appeared that the kitchen was the main cause of these delays. We weren't the only corporate group dining that day, and it was evident that all tables were facing significant delays. That said, I want to applaud Miss Sammy and Miss Alora for their efforts to manage a situation that was clearly beyond their control. While they couldn’t speed up the kitchen, they provided complimentary champagne + nuts in between for our group of 24 as a gesture of goodwill and were sincerely apologetic about the delays. Despite the service issues, the food quality was generally good but portion was alittle too pathetic. A couple of dishes lacked flavor to the point that we had to rely on chili padi and soy sauce for enhancement. On the positive side, all staff were attentive to drink refills and promptly cleared finished cutlery, which I appreciated. Moving forward, I hope Madame Fan improves its service management. The experience we had today left much to be desired, and unfortunately, this will be my last visit.

This review is based on a week night visit while sampling the Indulge set menu. The decor of this restaurant is low key modern elegance. Dark tones that hints at classic rosewood furniture and Chinese restaurants of old. Tables are well spaced and everyone speaks in low tones. The only slight discordant note is the flat white celling. It is harmless but it can feel a little office-esque. Service is great. Everything moves like a well oiled machine. Attentive without being intrusive. Food is very good. It is probably not as excessive as some other set menus (costing more). The value proposition is decent. However, there is still enough high-end ingredients to signify an elevated dining experience. I don't think there is an absolute highlight but everything fits well together so we were happy with the meal as a whole. Another point in its favour is the meal left us satisfied but still being able to walk without waddling like a stuffed goose. That is a fine balancing act. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. The price doesn't push it completely into the "special occasions only" category.

Was here for the dimsum lunch buffet yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Initially, food was served rather slowly but definitely picked up the pace afterwards. Have zero complaints about the food whatsoever and place gives off a cosy ambience to which I very much prefer. Pricing is also reasonable for a dimsum buffet and also for the environment. Overall, would come here from time to time as it is most definitely quite the experience.

Service size was small but food was delicious. Highlights were the wasabi prawns, Peking duck rolls, scallops with lotus roots and bamboo shoots and lobster with noodles. The fry and batter for the sweet and sour pork was one of the best I’ve had. Service was not as attentive as expected and it was hard to get the server’s attention. Tea was refilled and cutlery was changed promptly though. Lighting was dim and uneven. May not be conducive for conversation for larger groups.

I came by for the Lunar New Year Dim Sum Drink Sum. The food was pretty good, although people have also mentioned that the portions are small. I didn't mind that the portions are small since it's free flow and you can order multiple portions, other than the sea cucumber and steamed boston lobster. We started with the signature yusheng, but it was hard to find the bluefin tuna in the yusheng. This was pretty tasty, with the crispy seaweed adding umami to the dish. Other highlights that I would recommend getting: sesame prawn toast (pretty thick layer of prawn paste), xiao long bao (the soup has a sweetness to it), ume wasabi prawn, jasmine tea smoked ribs (very fragrant and meat is tender). I wouldn't recommend: crispy duck roll (meat is pretty dry, eat with chill sauce for an easier time chewing). I also want to say a big thank you to Allen, whose service was very attentive. Thank you for bringing along a plate of CNY snacks to accompany the birthday cake.
