Da Shi Dai specialises in authentic but modern Chinese cuisine with a casual and interactive flair. The restaurant features an open kitchen which allows customers to have a glimpse of how their orders are being prepared. The sleek, neutral scheme of wood and bamboo tones also succeed in giving Da Shi Dai a stylish, simple, but comfortable feel. In terms of cuisine, a ‘less is more’ philosophy applies as the Chinese chefs’ use simple ingredients to prepare a variety of dishes from across different regions of China, presenting them in the style of a high-end restaurant. Food is served family-style, in small bowls which can be shared among the group, making the restaurant perfect for fun, casual family outings, groups of friends and working lunches. The wide selection of freshly-made steamed and fried dim sums, served with green tea or oolong tea, is the most popular menu option and is recommended for light lunches or brunch. Another favourite is the Wai Hung Ho, which translates as wasabi mayonnaise coated king prawns and crispy rice.
