Peony Jade , a Michelin Restaurant, by The Quayside Group — Brunch

Traditional yum cha gets a creative makeover at Peony Jade’s Weekend Cantonese OMAKASE Yum-Cha Escapade - turning yum cha into a full-on culinary journey, featuring a thoughtfully curated progression of handcrafted bites inspired by the four seasons.

At S$68.80++ per person, the experience unfolds like a tasting journey, moving through Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, with each dish bringing its own character and story.

What makes this experience work is the balance between familiarity and surprise. You still get the comfort of classic dim sum ideas — dumplings, baos, custard, seafood, roasted elements — but each one is elevated with modern touches like truffle, caviar, mentaiko, lobster, and premium seafood. It never feels like fusion for the sake of it; instead, it feels like familiar Cantonese flavours being gently pushed into a more refined, celebratory space.

There’s also a clear sense of indulgence built into the menu. Seafood takes the spotlight, richer textures are layered in thoughtfully, and even the lighter bites feel crafted with intention. At the same time, the experience doesn’t lose its yum cha identity - it still carries that social, weekend-brunch energy, just in a more structured, tasting-style format.

The pacing is what ties everything together. Each dish feels like a chapter rather than a standalone item, which makes the entire experience more immersive than a typical dim sum meal. You’ll be guided through a progression of flavours that builds from lighter, delicate notes into richer, more decadent finishes.

A great weekend option if you’re looking to gather friends or family for something beyond the usual dim sum spread - part traditional yum cha, part creative tasting journey, and a slightly more elevated weekend indulgence.
