Majestic Bay Restaurant

Its location within Gardens by the Bay means that Majestic Bay Restaurant is well poised to serve the tourist horde hankering for local delicacies like chilli crab and chicken rice. But that doesn’t mean that the restaurant only sticks to the boring old classics – chef-owner Yong Bing Ngen and executive chef Chee Hin Yew have injected a fresh dose of creativity to its seafood menu, offering dishes like crab tossed in white wine sauce and basil leaves ($68) for the chilli shy and Malaysia free-range chicken rice ($32), served in a claypot with a trio of sauces. A tribute to some of Singapore’s favourite classics done with a modern twist, there are also dishes like crispy prawns in peanut satay sauce ($28) and seared Singapore chilli crab meat buns ($5.50/3pcs) on its all-day dim sum menu.
