We were drawn to Empire Fine Chinese Cuisine (#05-13/14 Ngee Ann City, 391 Orchard Road) because their menu looked interesting, featuring dishes that weren't exactly run of the mill variety.
Sautéed crab with egg white and white truffle oil. Nice. They kept it uncomplicated so one could taste the chunks of crab meat, the truffle and even the egg white.
Stewed goose web with glass noodles/tang hoon in claypot was pretty good. Goose web was slurp off the bone tender though these needed a little more slurping strength than chicken claws. The glass noodles were deliciously salty, savoury and loaded with black pepper.
Stewed bean curd preserved black olives minced pork. Nice.
Never tried this combination before - stewed chicken with yam, pumpkin and coconut milk in claypot. The creamy coconut milk tasted much like chicken broth. Good quality yam and pumpkin in there which together with the spring onions introduced some natural sweetness. 👍🏼
