Grand and Spacious Waiting Area...

This is what you will see when you enter the restaurant.. I love these row of seats as it's open concept that can view the whole hotel!

You will see the buffet restaurant "Edge" opposite Hai Tien Lo from these row of seats..

And you can see these beautiful cages below...

Inner dining area at the back... (Nothing to see but good for quiet lunch)

Private dining area behind...

Grand Private Room Inside!

White Royal Peony (Delicate white tea with fruity apricot and flowery English rose)

 I love the light and refreshing fragrance of flowery rose tea here! 2 persons at $12++!

Deep-fried Yam Paste with Foie-gras (Only 1 Serving)

I can say this is the BEST fried yam paste i've ever had! The exterior was super super crispy till very hard to break it! The ingredients inside were so yummy and aromatic as well, perhaps its with the foie-gras!

Baked Egg Tart with Swiftlet Nest & White Fungus 

(Only 1 Serving)

I really love this exclusive egg tart! It gives off a very pleasant fragrance when you bite on the nest & white fungus.. The egg tart was melted in the mouth as well! Overall a very wonderful egg tart! :)

Steamed Berkshire Pork Buns (Only 1 Serving)

The bun was fluffy and the char siew filling was just nice, not too sweet, not too strong and not too light.. Overall it's good!

Stir-fried Carrot Cake with Dried Scallops in Chef's Signature Homemade XO Chili Sauce (Only 1 Serving)

Though the appearance doesn't look appealing but don't be surprised, it tasted great! 

Crab Meat with Shredded Abalone & Fish Maw in Thick Broth (Only 1 Serving)

The broth was quite thick and the taste was nice but not mind-blowing..  The serving was quite generous so i started to get a little full after this.. 

Unlimited Dim Sum Selection (All You Can Eat)
All items that we've tried from here were disappointing......

Steamed Buns with Abalone, Minced Pork & Vegetables

This was my first time having a abalone in a bun but to my disappointment, the abalone was a tad tough. The taste of the minced pork & vegetables does not complement well with abalone either. Too may things stuffed in a bun may not turned out to be good, tasted too complex. I suggest they make the bun smaller and more fluffy, just stuff the abalone in will do. It will turn out to be a simple + exclusive bun!

Steamed Pork & Prawns Dumplings top with Fantail Shrimp

Overall the siew mai and the shrimp atop was dry, not qq or succulent type.. disappointing dim sum...

Steamed Scallops & Prawn Dumplings top with Dried Scallops

It was a clear broth but it tasted very milky and funny.. I just have to stop this...

Deep-fried Bean Curd Sheet with Prawns & Mango

We don't like the bean curd sheet skin.The taste was average...


After we tried the 4 disappointing dim sums, we felt there was no need for us to continue to order from this section anymore... :(

Wok fried Fillet of Grouper Fish with Assorted Bell Peppers in Black Bean Sauce (One Serving of any 3 items per table)

I love this dish as i like the peppery taste on the grouper fillet but it would be better if the fillet can be more tender..

Homemade Bean Curd with Crab Meat & Aubergine in Supreme Stock (One Serving of any 3 items from the list)

I love the bean curd as it's really really super smooth and tender with generous portions of crab meat and crab claws.. Not forgetting the flavourful supreme stock that made the whole dish very delightful!

Combination of Barbecued Duck & Marinated Soya Sauce Chicken (One Serving of any 3 items from the list)

We preferred the soya sauce chicken than the duck. The duck meat was tough and the jelly fish doesn't taste nice compared to those wedding banquets..

Chilled Cream of Mango Sago & Pomelo (One Serving of any 2 items per person)

The taste was not too sour but a tad too creamy.. This was average...

Double-boiled Osmanthus Tea with Pears & White Fungus (One Serving of any 2 items per person)

This was very refreshing and taste much better than the mango sago! A nice dessert to complete the meal!

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

Overall i felt only the first page and the last page of the menu were worth to order.. The 2nd page of the unlimited dim sum selection were mostly disappointing... Chef has to improve your unlimited dim sum selection again...

Service was quite good initially when there was no crowd but after more tables were filled up, we couldn't find any staff at our area for quite some time as they were busy taking orders from other tables or inside the kitchen so need to be patient sometimes..

The main entrance of Fullerton Bay Hotel going towards The Clifford Pier...

   Famous Hong Kong Designer (Andre Fu) has transformed the restaurant at the historical Clifford Pier to a grand dining...

This place is simply gorgeous!        

Cosy and luxurious interior!

Plush sofa seats for big groups!

Complimentary Nice Keropok on every table - The Prawn flavour ones are really very nice!

This is one of the main attraction to have afternoon tea here - the pianist-singer has a very nice & charming vocal that is very soothing to the ear!!!!! It's a great pleasure to be here to enjoy the lush ballads. Only on Mon-Sat from 3-5pm!

A live Jazz band performance on Sundays from 2.00pm to 5.00pm.

This is their Alfresco seatings! It's quite hot during the day but i'm sure this is the best area during night time to watch the laser show from Marina Bay with beautiful night view!

The scones were a tad hard but the taste was ok, got some buttery taste which i like.. Nowadays kaya are getting popular to dip with scones! 

Bottom Tier

Second Tier

Top Tier

This is my most favourite item here - Pandan Kaya Cake!

Basically, only the bottom and second tier attracts me. Sorry to say that there's nothing nice on the top tier. The Kueh Lapis at the second tier was very dry and hard which i think you can skip. 

Overall the afternoon tea items here were average so don't expect anything that is mind-blowing.. But they were very generous to provide so many items for afternoon tea. We feel very full after we finished the 2 tiers, so we have to force ourselves to finish the 3rd tier. Therefore i think no refill of the items is needed unless you're a super big eater..

As for the service, there were some hits and misses from the waitresses. Only the manager (Elvin) provides the best service which was worth to mention on that day!  

I think the main attraction to dine here is the lavish ambience rather than the food. But somehow it's a pity that the local hawker fare does not fit into the classy ambience here... This gorgeous restaurant should serve fine dining food or at least serve other types of food rather than hawker fare. Anyway it's really a very romantic place so i will definitely come back again. Hope the chef will continue to improve in the food quality and creativity!

Revisited on 27 July 2014 (Sun) to try their ala carte items. 

We shared a plate of Fried Char Kway Teow but to our disappointment, the sauce was too sweet and the standard was not even close to those found in popular hawker centres.

Fried Char Kway Teow - $16++

Pandan Ice Cream Sandwich - $12++

The Pandan Ice Cream was marvellous! It was very smooth and creamy with the fragrance of Pandan and complemented the soft rainbow sandwich! It's very rare to find such a nice Pandan ice cream else where in Singapore. I'm glad to find it at The Clifford Pier! A very wonderful dessert to make you end with a smile! :-)

Take a peek at their dessert menu!

*Recommended for the ambience, food needs improvement*
