    Description

    Perched in the Asian Civilisations Museum, Empress dazzles with stunning views of the Singapore River. Inside, sleek modern design contrasts with the building's colonial architecture, a vibrant homage to the museum's blend of heritage and modernity.

    The menu follows suits, blending tradition and reinvention. Classics like dim sum and succulent roast meats (don't miss the Triple Roast Platter, starring caramelised char siew, crackling pork, and sticky ribs) share the stage with playful newcomers: think Impossible Meat Gyozas spiked with Asian spices or silky Kway Teow reimagined. Even Western touches like zesty salads and decadent Sticky Date & Longan Pudding feel right at home.

    Here, Cantonese cuisine sheds its stiff collar. EMPRESS is where bold flavours meet breezy sophistication, proving tradition can thrill without the formality. (Sep 2025)

    The Buzz

    "While EMPRESS is sleek with an upbeat vibe, old school elements like rattan-backed dining chairs and round wooden tables with lazy Susans add nostalgia." -The Business Times

    "EMPRESS succeeds easily in marrying traditional Cantonese cuisine with a modern dining concept." -Honeycombers

    "EMPRESS though, has got it just right. Keeping some of those traditions but embracing a relaxed, unstuffy and modern approach too. Definitely a restaurant to add to your go-to list." -Expat Adventures
