Signature Dishes
Since 2012, Fung Ding Hung Restaurant has been serving up tasty, yet healthy and nutritious Chinese Zi Char dishes. Located in the quiet Rendezvous Gallery beside Rendezvous Hotel in the Dhoby Ghaut area, Fung Ding Hung Restaurant is a true hidden find, as they do almost no advertising, relaying on business from their regulars and by word-of-mouth.Fung Ding Hung Restaurant has a very small, limited floor space, but the management have turned it into a plush, luxurious dining destination. Imperial Chinese style decor with elegant touches are the theme here, and the huge plush chairs lend a touch of extravagance. Fung Ding Hung Restaurant sits less than 50 people though, but you sure did feel comfortable here, almost like royalty!The service at Fung Ding Hung Restaurant is fantastic. As befitting its Chinese Zi Char fine dining status, Fung Ding Hung Restaurant staff are articulate, observant, efficient, and attentive. The senior staff / duty manager is well versed and knowledgeable about the menu, able to make recommendations and describe the ingredients / making of each dish. Drinks are topped up without request, and small amenities are provided without being asked.The concept of food at Fung Ding Hung Restaurant is Chinese health and wellness, meaning dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients, often using Chinese herbs for flavour, and without the use of artificial ingredients. The team of 3 chefs in the kitchen ensure that each dish is prepared quickly, while still being high quality, great tasting, and beautifully presented.Such premium quality is not without a price though, and Fung Ding Hung Restaurant lives up to its Chinese Zi Char fine dining status here as well. Budget about SGD $40 - $90 per person. Great for celebrating special occasions! I feel Fung Ding Hung Restaurant provides good value for money despite the steep prices though. Also, do note that Fung Ding Hung Restaurant does not offer ala-carte or individual dining, all dishes are part of a set menu for communal dining, though you can swap dishes around.The Steamed Sakura Chicken With Cordyceps Flower And Black Mushroom has a flavourful gravy / broth, piping hot and very comforting. The use of Chinese herbs, including cordyceps flower, and other vegetables like black mushroom and carrot made the taste complex. The steamed sakura chicken itself was very tender and flavourful, juicy and hot within.The Charcoal Beancurd Braised With Bamboo Fungus And Pine Mushrooms was an unusual dish. The beancurd itself is charcoal infused during production, lending a depth of flavour, but turning it a deep black colour. The accompanying vegetables including nai bai and pine mushrooms are very fresh and crisp, without being too firm or limp. The bamboo fungus lends an unusual spongy textural contrast.The Deep Fried Black Sesame Rice Cake With Osmanthus Sugar dessert features a warm, black sesame paste and rice paste cake, coated outside with sesame seeds and topped with a floral osmanthus sugar. The desset has a firm, crunchy texture outside, while being soft and warm within, very satisfying and very tasty!Full Fung Ding Hung Restaurant review here: http://ivanteh-runningman.blogspot.sg/2014/06/zi-char-fung-ding-hung-restaurant.html

Since discovering this restaurant, I eat here regularly. The food is meant to be Chinese nutritional food using herbs and natural flavourings to create their dishes. They say they wanted to move away from the strong and bitter taste associated with herbal food, and make herbal food tasty.My opinion is that they have succeeded in this aim, and the food is outstanding in every respect. Furthermore, the dishes are very unique, and I have not seen any of these offerings anywhere else in Asia. I strongly recommend the charcoal bean curd, any of the double-boiled soups, the stewed goose and the pan-fried codfish with celery (wow). They also have live seafood which is well-prepared and also unique (e.g. curry prawns).I like the fact that they don't use any MSG at all, so you leave the restaurant feeling fresh, instead of burdened with that heavy head that other MSG restaurants give. Extremely comfortable seating, nice environment, and a price point that is surprisingly low given the quality and taste. I suggest you try it soon.P.
