From the first bite of the appetizer to the final slurp of noodles, every dish we tried was a delightful journey in taste, texture, and technique. YUAN ROOM's young and talented chef deserves praise for innovation and impeccable execution.

The Dishes We Tried are as follows:


Lychee Ball – An Edible Work of Art

Appetizers
Lychee Ball – An Edible Work of Art
Styled like a blooming lychee tree, this appetizer was a true feast for the senses. The balls were crafted from shrimp paste and fresh lychee meat, resulting in a refreshing and delicate bite.

Beautifully presented, almost too adorable to eat—but we’re glad we did. Each bite was a burst of creativity and flavour.


Crispy Pork Belly with Fruit Rojak – A Must-Try Fusion Marvel

Crispy Pork Belly with Fruit Rojak – A Must-Try Fusion Marvel
This was the showstopper of the appetizers. Instead of the usual shrimp crackers, crispy pork belly strips accompanied the tangy rojak fruit mix. 

The savoury crunch of the pork belly with the zesty rojak sauce created an explosion of textures and flavours—absolutely addictive!

Main Courses

Indonesian-Style Fresh River Prawn

Served bubbling hot in a clay pot, the prawns were plump, fresh, and bathed in a luxuriously rich and creamy broth. We especially loved the addition of fried mantou buns to soak up every last drop. 

While the dish pairs well with the buns, rice noodles would be a great option next time to balance out the richness.


Bean Curd in Crab Roe Sauce

Bean Curd in Crab Roe Sauce
Simple yet elegant. The silky bean curd, freshly made in-house using unsweetened soy milk, was delightfully smooth. 

Topped with a light, savoury crab roe sauce, this comforting dish lets quality ingredients shine.

Charcoal Grilled Iberico Pork Ribs

This was the highlight of the evening. The ribs were grilled to perfection—tender on the inside with a beautiful crust on the outside. 

Each bite was marinated with salt, black pepper, and herbs, delivering a peppery kick and deep flavour. 

The refreshing lemonade palate cleanser served on the side was a surprising yet thoughtful touch.









Claypot Loh Shu Fun (Mouse Tail Noodles)
We ended the meal on a warm and satisfying note. This hearty noodle dish came with minced pork, mushrooms, and preserved vegetables—topped with a freshly cracked egg to be mixed in for extra richness. 



Full of wok hei, the aroma alone was irresistible. Humble-looking but seriously flavourful!
