One of the perks of working in the CBD area is the centralised location and wide choices of food available. Sometimes, I would walked to Asia Square, Golden Shoe Interim Market or even Amoy Street, but most of the time, I would just settle my lunch at the nearest Lau Pa Sat which is always very crowded and hard to find a seat.
Today, I'm so lucky to be able to have my lunch comfortably at MYO Restobar located on the 19th floor of Oxley Tower, a short walking distance from my office. MYO Restobar is fairly new as it just opened on 11 December 2017 but being an affiliate of Kia Hiang Group of Restaurants (KHG), it has over 40 years of Kia Hiang's heritage and legacy to back them up. For those who understands Chinese, 妙嚥 miào yàn means "to swallow wonder".
Myo restobar features all the classic Cantonese home-style dishes from the well-loves International Plaza outlet and delicious dim sum from their previous Kim Tian branch. Guest can now enjoy both dim sum by Chef Billy Wong and hearty fare by Chef Cheng Chee Wai in a modern, industrial environment. The moving gears on the wall depicts the shape of our Singapore island.
Another interesting concept of Myo Restobar would be their bar counter before leading in to the main restaurant sitting area. Probably a way to unwind after work with a glass of beer. There is also a good selection of wines and spirits, coffee and tea.
The very friendly Jai explained to me how the different handle represent the different craft beer. For me, who knows nothing about craft beer or beer, I take my pick by choosing which handle appeals to me the most and I have chosen the third one - Kona Big Wave. It's actually Golden Ale origin from Hawaii and have the fruitiest taste. The one on the most left is called Stone Go To and have the highest alcohol content of 6.8%. The other two is called Lost Coast 8 Ball and Sharkinator and are all originating from California.
The last handle for the two craft beer which has not arrive yet.
Thanks Jai for sharing these interesting facts and I definitely gained more knowledge now regarding beers not to mention some tasting of the different beers.
Dim Sum - Flakey Angus Beef Pastry ($5.80)
This is the best seller here and one needs good chopstick skills like the Kungfu Panda in the movie to be able to take this up without breaking off the skin. So proud to mention that I'm one of the few who succeeded in doing this. With the melts-in-your-mouth pastry skin comes the black peppery beef inside. A burst of flavours!
Dim Sum - Gold Foil Dumplings with Assorted Mushrooms ($4.80 for 3 Pcs)
Nice presentation and the mushroom filling is creamy.
Dim Sum - Healthy Walnut Buns ($4 for 3 Pcs)
Good portion size and from far it looks like a basket of rattan balls.
From the Wok - Fish Maw & Crab Meat in Superior Broth ($9)
Although I'm not a Cantanese, I always love to have a bowl of soup to complete my meal. A bowl of this tasty soup to warm us up on this rainy day. They also ensure that the main ingredients can be clearly seen on top.
From the Wok - Double Boiled Soup of the Day (Lotus) ($5)
Another flavourful bowl of soup.
From the Wok - Kia Hiang Claypot Spring Chicken ($18)
A must try dish if you are eating there. Everyone at the table all agreed that this is their favourite dish of all. Started out as a dish for staff with the leftover cabbages, it has now developed into a prominent dish on the menu. The trick to cooking this dish is to keep constantly maintain the low temperature. The chicken and cabbage has already soaked up the goodness of the herbal broth. There is even another version of this dish cooked with organic chickens ($28). Comfort food that one should pre-order to avoid disappointment of selling out.
From the Wok - Baked Hamachi Collar ($18)
The best part of the fish, it's baked to crispness and the mixed vegetables complements it.
From the Wok - Angus Tenderloin Cubes with Garlic and Broccoli ($18 Small, $23 Medium, $28 Large)
Dessert - Durian Mochi / Young Coconut Stewed with Peach Gum & Egg White (Hot) ($8)
Sweet desserts to round up the meal.
To give the lunch crowd an easy option, Myo also serve Set Menus starting from $16 onwards. Choose between the three dim sum sets or the three lunch sets from the wok station. Each set comes with a smaller portions of Myo's signature dishes. Furthermore, Myo also take care of consumers health by providing the option of brown rice and organic chicken.
