Yi by Jereme Leung

Very friendly staff Jess Khoo

Food was well presented and nice. The front entrance was very Instagrammable. But the whole experience was marred by terrible rawdy patrons who were co-sharing the room with us. They felt very entitled to allow their children to speak very loudly all the time and sang at the top of their voices. We tried to subtly shh them to no avail. We told the waitstaff twice and yet they didn’t do anything about.

Why does the restaurant insist on a dress code when you can’t manage the rowdy patrons lacking in basic table manners? Absolutely disappointing service.

Nice food with good presentation too. Better to come in more pax as I felt the dishes are good for about 4pax. The roast pork was the best.

Very disappointing and mediocre food . Been wanting to try Yi for the longest time and would never have imagined the food to be of this quality amidst the beautiful backdrop .
Restaurant is super difficult to find without clear signage . We had to order set menu for at least 2 pax ( pictured).
Appetizer was just sweet and acidic on top of somewhat stale food . It’s like what you get from those mass produced at bad Chinese weddings. Iberico pork cheong fun was super sweet with thick skin.
Fish maw soup was thick and sourish, almost like sichuan soup. The waitress noted we didn’t like it and had it changed to a clear chicken soup , which was slightly better cos of the clear base , but otherwise just really flat in terms of taste.
Home made tofu/ abalone was average , nothing like what a standard zi char stall can’t offer ( with more wok hei). The only slightly better dish was the cod fish , which was well cooked and tasted like char siew on the outside .
Yangzhou fried rice sounded dubious for a menu offering and lived up to its bad name - it’s literally like what you’d fry at home on a very average day. Lastly , the double boiled Hokkaido milk pudding was my last hope to tasting a flavor of Hong Kong’s famous milk pudding , but little was left to desire with the rough texture and again, flat flavor .

I left dissatisfied and puzzled at how can Chinese food go so wrong at one of our most iconic destination , but at least its ambience and service warrants the 2 stars and is possibly what’s keeping patrons from noticing the food generally .
