VLV Singapore
we have always wanted to check out VLV Singapore's exquisite range of Cantonese cuisine and award winning dim sum. having passed by the outside of the restaurant and club located at Clarke Quay a few times, few could imagine that the conserved building that once housed Indochine's Forbidden City would have carried a classy club and elegantly designed Chinese restaurant on the inside. speaking of Chinese, one side of its exterior certainly befits the lunar seventh month theme.
Run by the folks who once made Ku De Ta and Catalunya famous, VLV also boasts Straits Times and Lianhe Zaobao's 2017 chef of the year Martin Foo. and despite if mysterious looking exterior, the restaurant on the second floor is all bright and snazzy. i recalled looking forward to our experience dining at Hong Kong's Tin Lung Heen a couple of years back, well the interior design and ambience of this restaurant also makes visiting VLV an experiential one. 
we had the opportunity to try one of the lunch sets that's being offered on weekdays, i thought it was a good summary of some popular Cantonese food through the medley of dishes that had been curated into each set. The Tasting lunch set menu offered such variety and we enjoyed this serving of Sea Prawn in nutritious herbal soup. the soup was very rich in taste and went well with the fresh prawns and mushrooms inside. 
The Crispy roast chicken is one of the specialties at this restaurant. it's roasted with sesame until the skin is really crispy and served with a unique five spice salt. if you didn't have a set lunch and looking to taste VLV's signature chicken dish, then order the Beggar chicken when you visit. we also enjoyed the Sweet & sour Chillean seabass and poached Choy Sum that was included in this set. 
As the Tasting menu is supposed to encompass abit of the various VLV offering, some popular dim sum dishes were also included such as Har Gao, pan-fried carrot cake and this Roselle flower Osmanthus Jelly. through these samples, it truly exemplifies the quality of the dim sum and has motivated us to come back to try the full dim sum menu. In all, our first dining experience at VLV Singapore was in many ways an eye-opener, but more importantly, the delivery of the food lives up to its award winning billing, the service and ambience is of good standard as well. hopefully these ingredients would come together, to make this place one of the contenders for next year's Michelin guide.
