Singapore’s contemporary Cantonese destination, Cassia, has joined forces with Taiwan’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant JL STUDIO to present an exclusive seven-course menu that masterfully showcases Taiwanese produce with Singaporean and Cantonese flavours.
The collaboration seeks to blend the finest ingredients with time-honoured traditions. Chinese Executive Chef Alan Chan of Cassia and Chef Jimmy Lim of JL STUDIO will present an extraordinary dining experience at Capella Singapore from 8 to 10 November 2024.
With more than 30 years of culinary experience, Chinese Executive Chef of Cassia Alan Chan continues to honour authentic Cantonese cuisine with his contemporary expositions, inspired by the delicate nuances of Cantonese cuisine that balance authentic flavours and innovation.
Located in Taichung, Taiwan, JL STUDIO is the first restaurant dedicated to Singaporean cuisine to earn three Michelin stars. It is celebrated for elevating the nation’s flavours on the global stage.
In addition, local dishes, such as chicken rice, chilli crab, and satay, have been reimagined through sophistication, blending the bold, vibrant, and savoury flavours that represent Singapore’s diverse culinary heritage.
Exciting gourmet offerings

At Cassia, guests will be delighted by a convergence of culinary expertise, such as a tantalising amuse bouche of Maine lobster with pumpkin and starfruit, pan-fried scallops paired with stuffed minced shrimp and a drizzle of scallion sauce, and more.
In addition, one of Chef Jimmy’s favourite ingredients and highlights is the Taiwanese Fushimi peppers, which are paired with Furas rice wine and fresh abalone.
Moving on to the main courses, Chef Jimmy’s creation of a modern sophistication is a red grouper paired with Beluga caviar, Taiwanese bamboo shoots, and chrysanthemums.
The dish is complemented by Chef Alan’s decadent wagyu beef rib, braised for hours to achieve unrivalled tenderness and a depth of taste that lingers on the palate.
Rounding off the main courses would be a baked sesame puff generously filled with succulent, shredded French duck confit.
Delightful dessert offerings
A night of culinary odyssey is not complete without delightful dessert offerings that would close the night with a bang.
For instance, the superior bird’s nest has been paired with a shiny muscat and fromage blanc to achieve a beautifully balanced and elevated finish.
In addition, a deep-fried egg yolk puff enriched with a creamy hint of Bailey’s ensures indulgence in every bite.
Finally, the mellow, floral aroma of Alishan Gui Fei Oolong, which shines brilliantly as ice cream, is accompanied by osmanthus jam and tea seed oil.
Cassia and JL STUDIO‘s collaboration will be available for dinner on 8 November 2024, lunch and dinner on 9 November 2024, and lunch on 10 November 2024 at Cassia, Capella Singapore, starting from SGD350 per person.
In addition, a wine pairing option is also available from SGD109 per person. Guests can enjoy wines such as the 2020 Domaine de la Janasse – Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Tradition and the 2001 Capoverso – Vin Santo di Montepulciano.
