Meistay Art Gallery Hotel

The interior follows Japanese tradition with pale wood, warm lighting and fabric-wrapped panels. Niigata rice is seasoned with three vinegars, including akazu that gives depth and umami. The owner also imports sake and the list changes constantly to match the seasonal ingredients available. This relaxed sushi spot also serves cooked dishes if pre-ordered. Note that it is not related in any way to its namesake in Tokyo.

A floral display provides pops of colour in this pristine white cube that calls to mind an art gallery. Chef Alain Huang's tasting menus comprise 10-plus creative courses that are French in origin but influenced by Asian cuisines, wine or alcohol-free drinks inclusive. Top-notch ingredients such as king prawn, scallop and veal are meticulously prepared and beautifully presented. Your meal is bookended by stunning amuse-bouches and petit fours.

The modern and simple design of T+T exudes relaxed chic, à la French bistronomy. The name is an abbreviation of ‘tapas tasting’, but rather than Spanish in origin, the small plates show strong Asian roots. Miso, ginseng, Dang Gui, Shaoxing wine and red bean cake are juxtaposed ingeniously to create gustatory nuances that pleasantly surprise. The tasting menu, which changes every 3 to 4 months, offers great value; the eclectic wine list carries some interesting choices.

A corridor dotted with Chinese antiques leads to a classically appointed square dining room, in keeping with the style of its luxury host hotel. The menu is also rooted in tradition, and the Hong Kong head chef's team demonstrates remarkable precision in dishes like braised Australian abalone with goose web. Try their dim sum at lunch, and their hairy crab menu in autumn. An extensive beverage list of wines, teas and drinks is available.

Diners are escorted past the open kitchen into an airy room bathed in natural light, perfect for power lunches or social gatherings. For a surcharge, all the à la carte steaks can be made into a set. Australian Mayura Full-blood Wagyu ribeye tastes milkier than typical grass-fed beef, and with the cut, you get to enjoy the robust flavour of New York strip and the even marbling of ribeye cap. Wine buffs should check out the rare vintages.

Spanish-themed paintings hang in the dining area, which boasts a stunning glazed wine cellar. The two chefs take diners on a poetic culinary journey to the Pyrenees of the Basque Country with a seafood-heavy tasting menu. Produce from Taiwan and Japan is woven into edible works of art that embody Spanish traditions, Asian influences and natural beauty. The clever use of colours and seasonal ingredients makes the experience a real delight.

Dark green velvet, red walls and accent lights showcase the bare concrete walls in this chic space. A sister establishment of Tei by O'bond, famous for Taiwanese tea cocktails, Wok excels in deconstructing the flavours of Taiwanese and Asian cooking, and reimagining them in astounding forms with modern French techniques. The themed tasting menu changes every season. The Taiwanese teas and herb-infused cocktails are always a delight.
