It's such a hassle to make reservation through phone - Book now through Chope for Instant Reservations!

Visited on 14 March 2014 (Fri). Cherry Garden is one of the most beautiful chinese restaurants in Singapore that offers splendid Cantonese cusine. 

We pre-ordered their Dinner Set Menu in advance, so that we can enjoy the Dinner Menu during lunch time for our anniversary. (I prefer abundance of natural light during the day; can take clearer photos) :-)

Lunch: 12 - 2.30pm, Dinner: 6.30-10.30pm

We chose 1 of their most premium set dinner menu ("Thought" Menu)

7 Course "Thought" Set Dinner Menu 
Price: $138++ per pax + 1 Pot of Chrysanthemum Tea for 2 ($6.00)
= Total bill of $332 for 2 pax.

 Love the spacious grand waiting area outside the restaurant. You can lounge around here before they officially open!

I like the Oriental feel here, made us feel very relaxed!

Love this window seat so much - beautiful!

Trio Treasure of Ruyi: 
Roasted Pork Belly + Wasabi-Aioli Prawn + Drunken Chicken in Hua Diao and Rose Dew Chinese Wine

This trio were great appetizers! The skin of the roasted pork belly was crispy and the meat was tender with some spices. The prawn was crispy outside and succulent inside with a very mild wasabi taste. (Good for people like me who don't take wasabi) Love the fragrant Hua Diao taste of the tender drunken chicken.

Bird's Nest Soup with Crabmeat and Egg White

Thick broth with bird's nest inside, very yummy with generous portions of crabmeat!



Wok-fried Fresh Scallops with Celery and Mushrooms 

The scallops were fresh, and the mushrooms and vegetables complemented the taste very well.


Baked Half Lobster with Premium Cheese Sauce

The lobster meat was not that tender as this was baked, other than that, it tasted marvellous!

Steamed Cod Fillet with Superior Soya Sauce 

We don't take beef so the manager changed to Cod fillet for us in 2 different style. I was expecting the steamed cod to be melt-in-your-mouth but it was a little below expectations, but nonetheless it still tasted great!

Oven-baked Honey Marinated Cod Fillet with Black Pepper

This was excellent! Truly lives up to the reputation as one of their signature dishes.

Stir-Fried Rice Vermicelli with Seafood, Silver sprouts and Yellow Chives

This dish was incredibly delicious! Fresh prawns and scallops with the yummy taste of vermicelli!

Chilled Cream of Mango with Sago Pearls, Pomelo and Lime Sorbet

Omg this was my favourite dessert!!! I like the way they served this dessert with smoky dry ice at the bottom part of the bowl. Love the lime sorbet with mango sago combination!

 After we settled the bill, they will put the receipts into this envelope. I like the way they present the receipts. It shows the difference to dine at premium chinese restaurants and normal chinese restaurants. :)

Service was very prompt and good here! Plates were cleared regularly. The only negative part was that the waitresses lack a friendly smile, otherwise it was perfect! The 7 course meal was served very promptly one after another till the end. We also loved the ambient music while we enjoyed the meal. Overall we were satisfied with everything here.
