This Chinese Restaurant In Seletar Has Panoramic Views, Legit Orh Nee And Claypot Fish Head

Famous Palace at Seletar Country Club for Chinese family dinners

Opened in early July 2022, Famous Palace is a relatively new Chinese restaurant located on the second level of Seletar Country Club. The restaurant’s a la carte dishes and set menus see a repertoire of delectable dishes with Teochew, Cantonese, Hainanese, and Peranakan influences.

The interior is decked in classy, oriental-inspired decor and boasts a gorgeous panoramic view of the Seletar Golf Course and Seletar Reservoir. With a seating capacity of 160 diners, the restaurant is suitable for big gatherings or family dinners after a day out at the golf course. Private rooms are also available for more intimate events or birthday parties, complete with a karaoke system for guests to sing their hearts out.

For the month of October, diners can also enjoy 50% off on Famous Palace’s signature creations, including the Drunken Prawns (U.P. $28++ for 500g), Braised Fish Head in Claypot (U.P. $18++ for half-head), and Deep-fried Teochew Prawn Roll (U.P. $9++).

Start off your meal with the Chilli Spiced Century Egg Pudding ($12++), an eye-catching appetiser that resembles a dessert. The dish comprises chilled century egg pudding with a layer of egg yolk and chilli paste for a hint of spice.

Whet your appetite further with the Double Boiled Chicken Soup With Peach Essence & Morel Mushroom (from $68++), a nourishing soup comprising peach gum and a whole chicken. As kampung chicken is used, you can expect tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.

Live seafood is also served at the restaurant, including the Signature Steamed Cod Fish With Preserved Vegetables (seasonal price). This dish came with a silver cod fish displayed on a hot plate and was served with vinegar, peanuts, and chilli padi on the side. We were highly impressed by how melt-in-the-mouth the fish was.

There’s also the Wok-Fried Pork With Sweet & Sour Plum Sauce (from $28++), one of the eatery’s signature dishes that has been on the menu for ten years. This savoury-sweet dish sees pork belly marinated in a fermented bean curd sauce. 

The Volcano Chicken ($68++) is another feast for the eyes; a whole oven-baked chicken is strung upright and doused with alcohol before being set on fire.

If you still have room for dessert, try the old-school Teochew Yam Paste With Gingko Nuts & Pumpkin ($8++), or the Sago Pudding With Gula Melaka ($8++) for something sweet and refreshing.
