Used to be at Odeon Towers, Chef Chan's Restaurant is now located in a corner at National Museum of Singapore with its entrance up a short flight of steps along Stamford Road. The place boosts high ceiling and lots of space with antiques, owned by none other than Chef Chan Chen Hei, and oriental furniture. Modern chandeliers stood out against ancient Chinese lanterns and wooden signboards reminiscent of traditional medicinal halls. This look is replicated in its table setting of glass teapot and metal cutleries against ceramic wares and wooden chopsticks. Chef Chan has since left the restaurant, now helmed by his discipline. With only a few tables and private dining rooms, it was more cold than cosy. Instead of ordering the set menus, my dining companion and I decided on à la carte dishes.
