A big winner at RAS Epicurean Star Award 2017 as they bagged home 2 awards. First is the Best Western Restaurant (Casual Dining) and Best of The Best (Casual Dining). The latter award was selected by the F&B industrial experts. NAHMJ visited Chef’s Table By Chef Stephan previously and rated them favourably though we find desserts served at the restaurant as their weakest link.

Next is an amazing dish, not only it is attractive to the eyes but also appealing to the palate. From the look, it appears like a garden of herb.
