Jade, the signature Chinese restaurant of The Fullerton in Singapore, is also one of the main dining venues at the Hong Kong hotel. The restaurant is located on the second floor, offering a spacious dining room and four private dining spaces. The contemporary interior is elegant yet relaxed with grey carpet, green cushions and pops of yellow on the chairs, while a few jade ornaments and Chinese ceramics on the shelves reflect its cuisine.

The menu is curated by executive chef Lai Ching-shing, whom you may recognise from the hotel group's Chinese restaurants Yuè, features classic Cantonese cuisine with dim sum, double-boiled soups and seasonal dishes that make use of locally and regionally sourced ingredients such as Tai Chi Pig, a breed from Hong Kong Heritage Pork. Highlighted items include a flavourful bak kut teh xiao long bao, baked crab shell stuffed with fresh crab meat and onion, and crispy scallop with fresh pear, shrimp paste and Yunnan ham.

This well-loved Singaporean restaurant, which is also at the Royal Pacific Hotel and Gold Coast Hotel, has been given a modern makeover at The Fullerton. Located on the second floor, this Satay Inn is designed with a more graceful guest in mind. A warm wooden floor is met with marble tables and floral arrangements throughout the restaurant. The menu, which is similar to other Satay Inns, offers everything from Hainanese chicken rice, bak kut teh and fried carrot cake to curry beef brisket, chilli crab, and of course, chicken, pork or beef skewers marinated in peanut satay sauce.

Set to open later this year, The Fullerton's fifth and final dining concept is Italian restaurant Giardino which means garden in Italian. Located on the third floor, the restaurant comes with a large terrace filled with lemon trees and a fresh herb garden for relaxed al fresco dining.
