Chinese cuisine goes on on a journey to the West and back with Lokkee, a witty homage to Hollywood's Chinese favourites; think chow mein and fortune cookies. A distant cousin to what we expect in Singapore, at Lokkee, Global Chinese Cuisine is reinterpreted and elevated through fresh, top quality ingredients and clean flavours.

The Awesome Flaming Pineapple Beef, once a gimmicky Chinatown classic, here contains tender Thai beef smothered in pineapple curry. Tender, sweet, and undeniably Instagrammable, it definitely lives up to the Awesome part of its name! If you want to keep the fires burning, continue with the Firecracker Chicken Nest, a popular Sichuan dish of fragrant diced chicken tossed with dried chili and cashew nuts. Lokkee isn't just cult classics done well though. There's an undeniable finesse and technique guiding each dish out of the kitchen, perhaps best seen in a deft application of molecular gastronomy; mango puree masquerading as egg yolks in the Chicken Nest.

The decor of the restaurant reflects the same fusion of cultures as the food. The walls are decorated with Chinese brush paintings of Star Wars AT-ATs while Shanghainese pop plays in the background. This is Chinese cuisine at the crossroads of culture, and it definitely took a right turn. (Oct 2015)

At Lokkee, slices of beef flank (for added bite) and rib eye (for juiciness) are marinated in A1 steak sauce, garlic, honey and soy sauce before they are wok-fried in butter with onions tableside." -DiningTableSG

"Lokkee Egg Drop Soup: To my surprise, it is my favourite dish at a dinner there last week. This is not the egg drop soup I know - which is usually just starchy chicken stock with an egg beaten in - but a corn soup packed with shredded chicken and crabmeat." -SoShiok
