New restaurant Yue Bai presents a contemporary expression of shi liao gastronomy and Chinese culture

Modern Chinese restaurant Yue Bai specialises in refreshing renditions of heritage dishes rooted in ancient traditions. But it is not just its menu that embodies classical Chinese culture with a contemporary twist; its interior setting also reflects chef and co-owner Lee Hongwei’s passion for his native culture – particularly Chinese poetry, art, calligraphy and philosophy – and his appreciation for modern perspectives.
Opened in December 2022, the restaurant located on Duxton Road took about six months to design. Leading the project was Tan Hui Ee, director of local design firm Two by Four.
the inspiration behind Yue Bai
Having tried the culinary creations at Yue Bai several years ago, Tan says that he knew the space needed to reflect the care and thought that Chef Hongwei puts into each dish.
“The dishes are light but they also have an incredible depth of flavour. I wanted to create an interior that reflected that sophistication, a space that does not shout for attention but instead, offers its guests an intimate dining experience,” says Tan.
