Our Meal

We ordered Roasted Irish "Silver Hill" Duck ($40 for half / $78 for whole). We love the roast duck here as it gives your juicy, succulent and melts in your mouth feeling. The whole duck is chopped and divided into 2 containers. The presentation of the duck is the same as it is served in the restaurant.

Roasted Irish "Silver Hill" Duck

Due to its high-fat content, Roasted Irish Duck is it is best eaten hot / warm. Once it becomes cold, the fats become coagulated taste very oily. When you consume this at home, it is best to slightly reheat it in a microwave or oven to render the fats.

Deep-Fried Pork Belly with Fermented Beancurd ($20 / $30 / $40). Another favourite dish that we like to order in FT. The pork belly is marinated with fermented beancurd and deep-fried. The pungent aroma of the fermented beancurd will entice your palate before you bit into the pork belly. The exterior is crispy, while the interior is fat, juicy and succulent. It is served with green colour sauce, made from chilli padi, green chilli and other secret ingredients. The garlic gave a touch of sweetness in this dish.

Braised Hakka Beancurd ($16 / $24 / $32). FT version of famous HK Yong Tofu. The beancurd is stuffed with minced pork and deep-fried. It is then braised in brown sauce together with ladyfingers. The beancurd is firm and hold the tasty minced pork well. The brown sauce is a combination of savoury and sweet, goes well with white rice. An enjoyable dish.

KL Style Hokkien Mee ($20 onwards). A good rendition of KL Style Hokkien Mee. The thick noodle is bouncy with a nice bite to it. The flavours of the fried prawns, pork oil, pork lard and premium dark soy sauce generate the mixture of sweet, savoury and OMPH flavour in this dish.
