POTONG: A Hidden Restaurant in an Old Pharmacy

I have to say that Restaurant POTONG is the best restaurant of the year. As a descendant of a Chinese family, born and raised in a Cantonese household, Chinese food has always been a staple in my life. Therefore, I had high expectations when visiting this restaurant. Here, they serve progressive Thai-Chinese cuisine with a twist and a wow factor in every bite. Our journey began with a kombucha drink on the ground floor. We then took the elevator up, gradually making our way to the rooftop, enjoying each dish one by one. Afterward, we took the elevator back down, where staff escorted us to our table. Every aspect of the experience had a clear story. Some of the standout dishes include: - Crab Dish: We enjoyed the presentation, which cleverly hid black pepper sauce and sea crab egg sauce inside the shell. - Toddy Palm Course: This adorable dish allowed us to try various parts of the toddy palm that we never thought were edible. - Family Dish: This came in the form of a small Chinese-style lazy Susan with roasted duck and pickled vegetables on top, making for an impressive main course. We ended the meal with fortune cookies, each containing a fortune inside. As we left, we also received a small souvenir to take home.
