There are a dime a dozen Chinese restaurants in Singapore. If you are looking for something different to host a business dinner or a special celebration, consider the following places that offer Chinese menus with modern twist – from a small independent outfit serving refined Franco-Chinese to more sophisticated establishments by top Cantonese chefs.

Qin by the Tung Lok Group is located at Clan Hotel in Far East Square. Opened in 2021, the somewhat low-key restaurant on the fifth floor of the hotel offers distinctive cuisine that marries Chinese and Asian flavours with a touch of creativity.
Start with the ceviche hamachi laced with cold-pressed Japanese sesame oil and perilla plum gel. The combination is given a textural contrast with crispy rice, and further uplifted with calamansi, shallots and fresh herbs. Other more substantial dishes to tuck into include the Canton Crisp Beef Brisket, braised in a pickled cream and served with crispy vermicelli, as well as the 36 Hours Sous Vide Angus Short Rib. The ribs are marinated with a Balinese-inspired sambal matah, grilled over binchotan and served with a light satay espuma. Pair these dishes with Qin’s unique cocktails concocted with Singapore- or Asian-made rums or gins.
