Overview
There's a lot to like about modern Cantonese diner Yum Sing House, tucked away down a quieter part of the city on Sutherland Street. Part-restaurant, part-bar, part-private karaoke room, this is a late-night dining and party spot that keeps good times rolling until the early hours of the morning.
Start with a feed at the futuristic, playful restaurant on the ground floor, which takes cues from the streetscapes of Hong Kong. It's embracing the art of modern Canto dining, enthusiastically blending together regional Chinese flavours paired with reworked classic cocktails.
A share-style menu is headlined by a slew of creative, well-executed entrees. Fremantle octopus is paired with a slathering of XO mayo on housemade bread, traditional pork and prawn sui mai is upgraded with truffles and an ultra-crispy prawn toast is given a refresh with tobiko and prawn mayo.
Deeper into the menu, find roasted duck breast matched with a plum jus and two kinds of fried rice. An expertly curated drinks lineup stars an abundance of top-notch cocktails, along with a selection of wines, beer, spirits and mocktails. Love You Oolong Time is an infusion of bourbon, bitter and smoke while the Suzie Wong cocktail brings together gin, lychees and apple.
Upstairs, a moody, late-night bar and five private karaoke rooms stay open until 5am on Friday and Saturday night. Each room varies in size and is plucked from the streets of Hong Kong, plus, the snacks menu is available until 3am — so you can order up loaded wagyu mapo fries, BBQ pork buns and more of that truffle sui mai while you sing (another) rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.
