An exceptional Hokkien cuisine dining experience Total surprise find! We had actually booked another restaurant but decided to skip it when we saw Ban Lan (班岚) had just opened at Scotts Square, and it turned out to be such a great decision. We even got lucky with a private room! The food was outstanding, refined Fujian cuisine that’s full of depth and flavor. The Red Crab Glutinous Rice was rich and satisfying, the Braised Tofu with Red Mushroom had incredible umami, and the Steamed Mindong Yellow Croaker was clean-tasting with a nice kick from the Yong’an yellow chili. The desserts were just as memorable, the Pomegranate and Seaweed Jelly was light and refreshing, and the Lotus Seed Milk Custard was smooth and fragrant. Beautiful presentation, warm service, and such an elegant space. So glad we made the switch, this is easily one of the best new openings in Singapore. Can’t wait to come back!
