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

Visited on 28 June 2014 (Sat). Chef Yong Bing Ngen who has 30 years of experience under his belt, is the Chef-owner of three restaurants in Singapore (Majestic Restaurant, Jing @One Fullerton and his latest venture - Majestic Bay Seafood restaurant)


Though Majestic Bay is not a popular place for dim sum and the dim sum selection is quite limited BUT to my surprise, they have creativity and quality that will definitely delight your tastebuds! (Helmed by the dim sum chef - Guang-zhou born Chef Li Shou Tao) 

Die Die must try their Signature Seared Chilli Crab Meat Bun!


Note: They have 2 seatings here on the weekends.

First seating: 11.30am - 1.30pm. Second seating: 1.30pm to 3pm.

We were here at 11.30am for the first seating to avoid noisy when it's crowded.



This is the exterior of Majestic Bay, like a glass house so exquisite!





15% off for Citibank card members on all ala carte food bill!



You will see this live seafood tank at the entrance to let customers select their catch of the day before it is freshly prepared for them.



Their bar counter



Located below the Flower Dome, Majestic Bay Seafood restaurant is inspired by the luxurious waterfront views of Marina Bay. You will find the restaurant in white and blue theme that reminiscent of a ship deck.

Love their vibrant aquamarine interior as well as the abundance of natural light from floor to ceiling glass panels!







There're only 3 good tables for 2 seater. First is the sofa seat here, 2nd is at the other end of this sofa seat.




3rd is this table - The one and only 2 seater by the window to enjoy scenic view of nature...






Taken inside the restaurant from our window seat!




Taken outside the restaurant!




Table for big groups behind..




With 2 seater sofa seat at a corner for the big table




















Chrysanthemum Tea in a pot for 2 persons at $6! I like their chrysanthemum tea, it's not those cheapo type, very nice! Cannot stand some other restaurants who serves very watery or very light type of tea...




Braised Mola Mola "Ocean Sunfish Maw", Fresh Crab Meat, Angle Luffa, Thicken Yellow Soup ($16 per person)



Wow the soup very thick and was so flavorful with chunks of fresh crab meat! Die Die must order this soup when you're here! Super Nice!!!



Steamed Custard Bun, Salted Egg Yolk ($4.80 for 3 pcs)


Though the bun is not that fluffy, but i can tell you the liu sha bao here is really mind blowing! The bun is soft and the taste is super good! I don't know how to describe how fragrant it is but it's really very very fragrant and the custard filling inside the bun is finger-licking good! Wish that they can be a bit more generous with the custard filling...



Signature Seared Chilli Crab Meat Bun ($5.50 for 3 pcs)
Crab lovers favourite! A good way to have our chilli crab without getting our hands dirty! Love the sesame seeds coated atop the bun with not too spicy crab meat filling! Inside the bun was soft but the exterior was not crispy enough and kindly be more generous with the filling since the price has increased to $5.50 now... This dim sum was very light so you won't get sick of it easily. You must eat it immediately while it's hot - Really yummy!!! The Must Order item each time you go to Majestic Bay. Thumbs Up!




Steamed Yellow Duckling, Chocolate, Yam Stuffing ($4.80/pc)
Handmade Yellow Duckling Bun filled with Nutella and Yam Paste. I was a little taken aback when i see this little cutie duckling infront of me especially when i'm going to eat it.. In the end i asked my partner to eat the head with the eyes & mouth while i ate the back.. Hahaha! Don't be surprised that this tasted sooooo nice!!!! Never did i know nutella and yam paste can complement so well! Another Must Order item when you're here!





Crispy Pancake, Prawns, Pork, Vegetables ($5.50)

Finally a savoury dim sum! Omg this dim sum was equally fantastic! Very crispy exterior with savoury prawns, pork & vegetables inside. Yummy Yummy!



Steamed Siew Mai Dumpling with Pork ($4.80 for 4pcs)
I'm so happy that here they serve siew mai in 4 pcs rather than other restaurants serve only 3 pcs! I love their Siew Mai as well - The skin was not rough, just nice and the shrimps inside were very succulent! Except it was a tad quite salty...


Steamed Honey Pork Bun ($4.50 for 3pcs)

The bun was soft but this was quite average and plain


Baked Egg Tarts ($4.20 for 3 pcs)
The egg tarts here were quite average. Lack of some fragrance...



Essence of Mango Puree ($6)


I like this dessert as the mango is not sour with some chendol strips inside to make the dessert more delightful! 




Don't forget to bring them home near the entrance before you leave the restaurant! For takeaways!



I'm very satisfied and happy dining here! Got the best seat with nature view.. Their dim sum and soup was really special and excellent!!! Hope they can create more splendid dim sum and have wider selection. 

Service was quite good as well, our tea was refilled promptly and plates were cleared regularly. Got 1 staff answered my queries patiently even though i asked quite many.. Haha!

But do note that dinner time will be mostly full house, so the place will be quite noisy and the service may not be as good as daytime. So i would prefer to dine here during lunch time and will definitely come back again frequently! :)


*Highly Recommended*
