Jin Shan Lou

If you are ‘out on the town’ and need to satisfy your hunger pangs late at night, pop in to Jin Shan Lou, in the Marina Bay area, for a Taiwan porridge supper. There more than 70 dishes are prepared by award-winning chefs under the helm of Master Chef Huang Ching Biao, originally from Taiwan. Cantonese, Hunan and Sichuan delicacies include braised duck Jin Shan style ($20), sautéed fresh scallops with XO sauce ($30) and stir-fried chicken accompanied by macadamia nuts ($20). Soup, fish and bean-curd dishes are also popular. My companions and I enjoyed sautéed fresh asparagus with minced garlic, Chinese omelette with chives, and stir-fried prawns enlivened by dried chillies.

It is a great place to watch passers- by, day or night.
