Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro delivers an elegant dining experience where grandeur meets warmth. The restaurant’s soaring ceilings and refined décor lend a sense of occasion without feeling imposing, while attentive, well-paced service enhances the experience. The foie gras chawanmushi with crab roe soup is both delicate and indulgent, served over a tealight to maintain its temperature. The silky custard blends beautifully with the rich crab roe and generous chunks of crab meat. The signature Chen’s Mapo Tofu, made with three-year-aged Pi Du bean paste, exemplifies balance and depth—a comforting, aromatic dish that pairs perfectly with steamed white rice. No Chinese meal is complete without a fried element, and the deep-fried diced chicken with Szechwan chilli peppers is irresistibly addictive. It offers a satisfying crunch and an approachable heat that lingers without overwhelming.
