Peony Jade: New premises at Tanjong Pagar serves modern dim sum and Cantonese cooking
The Chinese restaurant’s chefs make a strong attempt to jazz up familiar fare, but with mixed results
NEW RESTAURANT
Peony Jade @ Amara Singapore Level 2, Amara Singapore 165, Tanjong Pagar Road Singapore 088539 Tel: 8886-8913 Open daily for lunch and dinner: 11 am to 2.30 pm; 6pm to 9.30 pm.
PEONY Jade is like a clarion call to Chinese restaurants. Defiantly decked out in fire engine-red lanterns, matching curtains and rosewood chairs (missing only lucky ‘fu’ symbols plastered on the walls for full effect), it cocks a snook at its design-fluid brethren who disavow tradition for magazine-approved interiors of modern Chinois, liberally embellished with imperial Western chic.
