Introducing a classic - Crispy Chilli Beef

Few dishes have stood the test of time quite like Crispy Chilli Beef. Thin strips of beef are lightly coated and fried until perfectly crisp, before being tossed with chilli, garlic and a rich, balanced sauce that delivers just the right combination of sweetness, savouriness and gentle heat.

It remains one of the most popular dishes on our menu for a reason — familiar, satisfying and consistently delicious.

Don't forget to add it on to your order when you next visit us 😃

The Crown Jewel of Modern Dim Sum: Charcoal Lo Sha Bao

There are desserts that satisfy a craving, and then there are those that create an entirely new sensory experience. Our Steamed Charcoal Lava Buns are a masterpiece of modern Cantonese baking—designed as much for the eyes as they are for the palate.

Infused with natural charcoal, the buns achieve an intense, velvet-black hue that stands out beautifully against the traditional bamboo steamer. Each hand-sculpted bun is then finished with an elegant brushstroke of gold.

But what's inside?

Steamed to pillowy, cloud-like perfection, breaking one open reveals a rich, molten heart of golden salted egg yolk custard. It flows like liquid lava—a decadent balance of sweet, creamy, and subtly savoury notes that melt away effortlessly on the tongue.

Every single dumpling is a testament to heritage and craft. Our chefs begin with a delicate, paper-thin wheat pastry, hand-pleating it with rhythmic precision to create the iconic open-top crown.

Inside lies a harmonious blend of pork and succulent tiger prawns, seasoned with a whisper of ginger and toasted sesame to draw out their natural sweetness.

Steamed until the pastry is translucent and the filling is tender and brimming with juice, each parcel is finished with a delicate flourish—a vibrant crown of roe that adds a subtle, briny pop of texture.

Slow roasted. Basted. Roasted. Basted. That's how we get our skin so glistening and crispy.

Is there anything better than Soya Chicken? Soya Chicken is a specialty dish at Banquet that needs to be ordered 48 hours in advance as there is considerable prep to do in order to execute it to perfection.

Our Roast Chefs are truly masters of their craft and this is not a part of our menu to skip.
