ADAPTABILITY is key to survival. This was the idea adopted by chef Yap Poh Weng and his team when the second movement control order kicked in a month before Chinese New Year.

“We had prepared an array of dine-in menus in anticipation of celebrating the new year together, but had to change them to takeaway menus because of the MCO, ” said The Oriental Group’s executive chef.

Yap has over two decades of experience in Cantonese and Chinese fusion cuisine under his belt.
