Award-winning Hua Ting Restaurant at Orchard Hotel has just scored double awards for “Best Dinner Experience (Asian)” and “Award of Excellence” at the annual G Restaurant Awards 2018. A total of 48 awards were given out at the awards ceremony held at Sheraton Towers Singapore.

In its ninth edition, the G Restaurant Awards recognise the best dining experiences and are put together by The Peak Selections: Gourmet & Travel, a supplement of luxury magazine The Peak by SPH Magazines. The authoritative awards is also a platform and guide to the top-tier restaurants in Singapore.

Over six months, the panel of judges, including ambassadors, food critics, head honchos of companies and wine experts, dined incognito at the restaurants to decide on the winners.

“The moment you step in, warm and friendly service staff greet you and show you to your table. Upon request, they offer great recommendations, and are conversant in English. When we ask for the wine list and tasting notes, the waiter attending to us makes extra effort to suggest the best pairing,” said the panel of judges in their review of Hua Ting.

“A perfect foil to the meal is the thoughtfully curated tea collection. Hua Ting offers a unique six-course tea-pairing menu available for lunch and dinner ($98 per person, minimum two persons). The menu changes every season, and four teas are specially selected to match the courses. The chef also infuses the creations with fragrant tea,” they said.

“For us, each visit to Hua Ting concludes with a plan to return.”

Commenting on Hua Ting Restaurant’s win, Orchard Hotel General Manager Byron Chong said, “To be recognised by G Restaurant Awards as among the best is an honour which underscores our commitment to delivering authentic, fine Cantonese-style dining alongside exceptional service excellence – and this would not have been possible without the unfailing dedication of the entire culinary and service team.”
