Especially loved the sea cucumber, coconut, the pumpkin in multiple ways, and the truffle dessert. The sauce with the abalone wellington was also very rich and intense.\n\nI got the non alcoholic pairing which was amazing too! Each drink paired so nicely and all offered inventive flavours with care and ingenuity.\n\nThe design of the restaurant is also lovely. I was seated at the booth which occasionally got cramped but it\u2019s understandable and not too disruptive. The service was attentive throughout too! All in all a fantastic experience and I\u2019d love to come again.","rating":5,"time_description":"4 months ago"},{"author":"boom","text":"Dining at VEA for the 8-course tasting menu was nothing short of exceptional \u2014 easily one of the best restaurant experiences I\u2019ve had.\n\nEvery course was thoughtfully composed, deeply refined, and full of character. What truly elevated the meal, however, was the service. Adele was outstanding \u2014 warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every single course in detail, shared the inspiration behind the dishes, and genuinely engaged in conversation throughout the meal, which made the entire experience feel personal rather than transactional.\n\nA special highlight was having the chance to meet Vicky Cheng, the owner himself. Being able to briefly speak with him added another meaningful layer to the evening and made the experience even more memorable.\n\nI\u2019ve dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants across different countries, and VEA truly stands out \u2014 not just for the food, but for the hospitality, precision, and soul behind the experience. It\u2019s a restaurant I genuinely love and one I would return to without hesitation.","rating":5,"time_description":"6 months ago"}]},"attached":false}
