MATCHA PUDDING
"Matcha pudding topped with strawberry slices, a scoop of green tea ice cream and soft mochi. The pudding was very bitter, so eat it with the black sugar served with it. As a green tea lover, I really liked it."

HONEY GLAZED BARBECUE PORK LOIN
"Grand Mandarina's take on this dish is a no-holds-barred version with an outer layer of caramelised sugar. Besides the sweetness from the sugar, the meat has a subtle char that works in its favour. It was juicy and firm, but not tough. This one's a winner."

MACARONS WITH BIRD'S NEST
"This was my first time eating macarons stuffed with bird's nest. The macaron shells were crisp and smooth and the bird's nest filling added a soft and chewy texture with every bite. These macarons come in 12 flavours and are perfect for a teatime treat."
