No.5 Emerald Hill

Amarit Kaur, senior sous chef of Araya, says, “I’ve been going to No.5 for aeons, and its consistency for its har cheong gai is unmatched, just like their martinis. The har cheong gai is always crispier and packed with umami, a standout in the realm of pub grub where fried chicken reigns supreme. My usual order is a set of wings complete with a dirty martini, a combination that never fails to hit the spot. This joint evokes a sense of nostalgia from my youth—the euphoria of carefree days spent in Orchard, doing my hair and nails, and then stopping by No.5 after for a special treat.”
