16 best Cantonese restaurants for an indulgent family feast [Dec 2025 update]

There are several sub-categories when it comes to Chinese food, like Teochew, Hakka, and Hokkien. In my personal opinion, Cantonese food is intricate and involves a certain form of fine art in order to whip up dishes for a wholesome experience behind its long culinary history. You can even consider it to be the French cuisine of the East, with its close attention to details that plays with all your 5 senses.

For those who are huge fans of Cantonese food, like myself, here is a list of 16 best Cantonese restaurants for an indulgent family feast that will make you say, “ho ho sek!”

1. Jin Ting Wan

Jin Ting Wan at Marina Bay Sands is poised 55 storeys above the cityscape, making it the highest Cantonese restaurant in Singapore. 

Inspired by the splendour of the Song dynasty, the restaurant boasts rich blue and gold accents, with bespoke dragonfly motifs that embody a touch of timeless sophistication. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer unmatched vistas of our Lion City’s mesmerising city skyline and the sea, perfectly complementing a refined dining affair. 

Jin Ting Wan serves exquisite, authentic Cantonese cuisine— a rich heritage meticulously updated to delight the palate of modern diners. Every culinary creation showcases gourmet offerings and the finest seasonal ingredients, prepared with the utmost care and finesse.

Executive Chef Albert Li cleverly combines haute cuisine practices, expert wok handling, and artistic Chinese food presentation to create delicious specialities that are a feast for the eyes.

Take the Marinated Chrysanthemum Jelly Fish with Aged Black Vinegar and Cucumber for instance, its beautiful Chrysanthemum flower presentation was so intricately sculpted, it instantly left me mesmerised. 

Anchoring this dish is premium jellyfish that’s specially sourced for its exceptional clarity and refined texture. It’s then delicately marinated in a balanced combination of Zhejiang black vinegar, crafted from glutinous rice, and Shanxi aged vinegar, prized for its deep, mellow acidity and gentle sweetness. 

This exquisite pairing accentuates the natural brininess of the jellyfish, adding complexity while retaining its delicate characteristics. This vibrant starter is quietly aromatic yet full of zing — a graceful prelude to the courses ahead.

The Angus Short Rib with Preserved Vegetable Wrapped in Straw draws inspiration from the traditional mei cai kou rou. We enjoyed front-row seats to the spectacle as Chef Li carefully opened the straw casing, revealing an unctuous slab of bone-in short rib.

The tender angus short rib was delightfully beefy and paired beautifully with the Guangdong mustard greens and perfectly balanced sauce.

If you’re craving dim sum, the menu leaves you spoilt for choice with over 30 selections. Relish in Steamed Har Gao with Bamboo Shoot, or enjoy the umami boost of the Steamed Siew Mai with Hokkaido Dried Scallop.

The Crispy Taro Croquette with Fresh Shrimp combines the creamy earthiness of yam with sweet shrimp, all encased in a light and addictively crunchy golden-brown crust. It was as if I was eating a mini yam ring dish presented in the shape of a prawn. There’s also the addictively chewy Glutinous Rice Dumpling with Pork & Mushroom in Mangosteen Shape.

Be sure to order the Radish Puff with Chinese Ham in Handbag Shape — a Jin Ting Wan signature! Crowned with white sesame seeds, the flaky puff is crispy yet light, stuffed with comforting radish and scrumptious Chinese ham. 

Tea sommelier, Zhao Gang, and wine sommelier, Joe Yang, take the dining experience to the next level with expertly tailored beverage pairings for each dish. Speaking of tea, they offer over 80 varieties of tea — many rare and sourced from private producers. Savour Wuyi Rock Tea, Chaozhou Feng Huang Dan Cong, or Flower Tea Blends, just to name a few.

From now till 31 Dec 2025, indulge in the prized Hairy Crab, a luxurious seasonal delicacy available for a limited time only. Pair it with the Dong Qu yellow wine, a single vintage, brewed and aged for 10 years in the heart of winter by Shaoxing wine experts. It’s then bottled in traditional clay jars exclusively for Jin Ting Wan.
