Excellent service from the staff who served us. The food was pretty good, all cooked to perfection. The dim sum, however, was quite ordinary and felt a bit overpriced.

I first visited this place for an ROM lunch. The food was great although they took some time to serve the dishes which led to awkward moments between dishes. This led me to return to try their $168 dim sum buffet brunch (came with tea). As the main dining hall was booked for a wedding reception, we were given the rooms for our buffet brunch. That said, staff was attentive and came to clear the dishes and asked if we wanted to order more. The servings were really small and they gave the exact number of pieces based on the number of pax, which were also great for a buffet because that meant we could try more items. We managed to try almost the entire menu except for the soups, appetisers and dim sum. Would recommend the mushroom truffle dumplings and the radish cake - both of which we would not have ordered if not for staff’s recommendation. Seafood dishes were all pan fried which were a pity, but food was fresh. Do note that the claypot and veggie dishes were huge even if you only order 1 pax portion. Overall, really enjoyed my meal here.

During our stay at St. Regis Singapore, we chose to celebrate Chinese New Year at Yan Ting, a restaurant renowned for its prestigious awards and refined Cantonese cuisine. While the overall experience was good, certain aspects fell short of my high expectations, particularly in service and atmosphere.

What We Enjoyed:
- Extensive menu: The restaurant offers a well-curated selection of à la carte and set menu options, catering to different preferences.
- Quality of food: The dishes were well-prepared and flavorful, living up to Yan Ting’s reputation for fine Cantonese cuisine.

Areas for Improvement:
- Uncomfortably cold ambience: The indoor temperature was excessively low, making the dining experience uncomfortable. Both my daughter and I felt frozen throughout the meal.
- Long waiting time: Service was noticeably slow, likely due to the Chinese New Year crowd. However, for a Michelin-recognized establishment, I expected more efficient service management.
- Service standard: While the staff was polite and accommodating, the overall service quality did not meet the refined standards one would expect from a Michelin-awarded restaurant. Attention to detail and a more seamless dining experience would enhance the guest experience significantly.

Final Thoughts:
Yan Ting offers elegant Cantonese dining with a diverse menu. However, improvements in service efficiency, temperature control, and overall dining atmosphere would elevate the experience to match its esteemed reputation. If visiting during peak seasons like Chinese New Year, guests should be prepared for longer wait times.

Fresh live South African abalone steamed with sliced ginger, tangerine peels ($32 per piece) - Excellent. Tender. The sauce went well with it.

Fried duck with salt and pepper (from Peking duck) - Excellent. Meaty and great flavour.
Green dragon stir-fried ($26) - Good.
French turbot fish steamed HK style ($28 per 100g) - Excellent.
Lobster with angel hair pasta and truffle sauce ($48 per person) - Excellent. Meaty and easy off the shell. The truffle pasta went well with it.

Been years since we dined here. Went to try their food again this CNY. Service was attentive and the service staff were polite and the server assigned to our table was remarkable. Food presentation is beautiful and most of the food tasted good. But nothing really tasted outstanding or tasted mind-blowingly good. Maybe it was due to some of the chefs being on leave during CNY.
