At the heart of YEN’s culinary magic is Executive Chinese Chef Weng, whose expertise shines in every dish. His approach is simple yet remarkable: take the essence of Cantonese cuisine, elevate it with refined techniques, and use unique, carefully sourced ingredients to bring it all together.
When dining at YEN, the Golden Duck is a must-try. Crispy, golden skin with tender, juicy meat—it’s a dish that perfectly embodies the restaurant’s commitment to preserving classic flavours while presenting them with a modern twist. Other standouts include the Pan Fried Japanese Miyazaki Beef, celebrated for its exquisite marbling and tenderness, and the Soft Shell Crab Salad, a play on textures.
