A crispy-crunchy take on the sweet and sour classic, this standout dish uses premium free-range chicken, tossed in a glaze of aged black vinegar and a whisper of sweetness from vibrant dragon fruit. The result? A dish that’s tangy, bold, and perfectly balanced. Pair it with a side of egg noddles and you’re golden. Oh, and did we mention it’s served 73 floors high? The views are just as impressive as the food.

Delicate, flaky Chilean sea bass is slow cooked in a rich claypot, absorbing layers of bold, aromatic spices that highlight Chef Akmal’s signature flair. It’s tender, warming, and full of umami depth. The kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what’s happening. A comforting classic, elevated with a contemporary Japanese twist.
