Singapore’s First Tofu Gelato, TOFU G, Makes Debut at Mandarin Gallery

Singapore has just welcomed a new rising star in their culinary landscape. 

In late June 2025, the JUMBO Group debuted Xing Yue Xuan 星粤轩 at WEAVE, Resorts World Sentosa. This marks the group’s first venture into premium Cantonese cuisine, introducing an elevated dining experience honoring Cantonese culinary artistry while embracing contemporary innovation. 

Timeless Cantonese Flavors

The restaurant offers both curated executive set lunches and an à la carte menu, showcasing the depth and sophistication of Cantonese cuisine. 

The experience begins with an amuse-bouche, setting the stage for the culinary journey ahead. On a rotation basis, these delicacies might feature succulent scallop and prawn salad nestled within a house-made kueh pie tee shell, or a jewel-like pickled cherry tomato bursting with vibrant flavors. Each one is paired with a ceremonial teacup of Honeycomb Ruby Tea — a bespoke blend of sweet jujube and Formosa oolong, crafted exclusively for the restaurant. 

Starters

A captivating selection of appetizers awaits to sharpen the guests’ palates. These include:

• Duo Dim Sum Platter (S$15 per person) and Trio Starters Platter (S$18 per person): a rotating selection of the day, highlighting the chef’s creativity and a modern flourish on time-honored favorites.
• Chilled Tofu with Century Egg & Seafood (S$12 per person): a silken block of tofu and prized seafood, drizzled with savory-sweet sauce and topped with a velvety century egg. 

Soups and Meat

• Double-boiled Fish Maw Kampung Chicken Soup (S$38 per person): a luxurious elixir of old hen, pork, chicken feet, with premium fish maw, plump scallops, earthy morel mushrooms, and nourishing wolfberries.
• Dong Po Pork Belly in Hakka Style (S$38 per person): A masterclass in traditional Chinese braising techniques, the pork belly melts on the tongue after six hours of braising.
• Chef’s Special Glazed Bone-in Pork Belly (S$38 per person)
• Sizzling San Bei Abalone & Chicken Oyster served in Claypot (S$58)

Live Seafood Excellence

Xing Yue Xuan boasts an impressive selection of live fish, including prized varieties like Empurau, Sultan Fish, and Humpback Grouper, each available in a choice of cooking styles such as classic Hong Kong-style steaming with soya sauce, fragrant minced garlic, or preserved radish. 

• Xing Yue Xuan Fuss-Free Crab (Half Crab) (S$78 per person): a must-try, presented in three distinct preparations that honor JUMBO Group’s storied seafood legacy.
• Flambéed Drunken Live Prawns (S$48 per portion, 300g): a show-stopping tableside experience where premium prawns are flambeed in er guo tou baijiu and gently simmered in a nourishing broth enriched with goji berries and angelica root. 

Rice and Noodles

• Whole 3-Head Abalone & Sea Cucumber in Fragrant Rice (S$68 per person): served in a sizzling hot stone pot, the fragrant rice is first wok-fried with a house-crafted soy blend before being topped with tender sea cucumber and a whole 3-head abalone.
• Signature Live Australian Half Lobster Poached Rice in Seafood Broth (S$78 per person): the lobster is delicately poached in a seafood consommé and poured over a bed of fluffy rice just before serving.
• Pan-Seared Scallop with Signature Non-Spicy X.O. Sauce Tossed Mee Pok (S$19 per person): mild yet deeply umami-rich, it is made with a luxurious blend of conpoy, dried shrimp, pork lard, and Jinhua ham. Crowned with succulent pan-seared scallops, it is a comforting yet refined dish suitable for all palates. 

Dessert

The finale pays homage to treasured Cantonese confections, reimagined with refined touches. 

• Classic Chinese Duo Pastry Platter (S$16): A delightful showcase of heritage sweets, with rotating selections.
• Glutinous Rice Ball in Tangerine Peel Red Bean Paste with Sweet Rice Wine (S$8): A soothing bowl that blends sesame-filled glutinous rice balls with a smooth red bean paste, subtly perfumed with aged tangerine peel.
• Superior Bird’s Nest with Almond Cream in Young Coconut (S$38, Hot): served hot for a creamy, nourishing treat.
• Double-boiled Bird’s Nest with American Ginseng & Rock Sugar (S$38, Cold): Served chilled to refresh and revitalize. 

Blending Cantonese Charm and Modern Elegance

Xing Yue Xuan seamlessly blends nostalgic charm with contemporary sophistication through its distinctive stained-glass accents and polished dark marble floors that reflect the warm, ambient lighting. The rich, dark wood furnishings create an intimate backdrop, beautifully complemented by delicate blue and white floral motifs that grace the upholstered seating. 

The restaurant is a perfect fusion of heritage craftsmanship and modern refinement, with a striking oversized lantern that welcomes guests into the space’s sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere, embodying years of Teochew cultural values where families prayed for happiness and good fortune.

OMG! (Oh My Guts!) joins in the SG60 celebrations with a bubbly twist! 

Zesty Gut Pte Ltd and Probicient Pte Ltd – the companies behind Singapore’s first probiotic wheat beer OMG! Probiotic Beer – are rolling out a series of in-kind sponsorships for SG60 events leading up to National Day Parade 2025. 

This milestone marks more than just a toast to the nation—it’s a refreshing celebration of innovation, science, and shared good times with everyone!

Brewed at 4.2% ABV and created in collaboration with the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Food Science and Technology Department startup Probicient, OMG! Probiotic wheat beer delivers a crisp, easy-going flavor with a gut-friendly bonus. 

The live probiotics don’t alter the taste, they balance it! Think beer, but even better: smooth, refreshing, and great for your gut.

Probiotics are well-known for supporting digestion and strengthening the immune system. What sets OMG! Probiotic Beer apart from the rest is its patented fermentation tech, developed with Probicient, ensuring that each bottle contains live probiotics at levels comparable to a daily supplement. 

This brewing breakthrough not only preserves the probiotics’ natural antimicrobial properties but also keeps the flavor crisp and uncompromised. 

 It’s a fitting toast to Singapore’s innovative spirit in a milestone year, where tradition meets transformation, and where every sip is both a celebration and a step towards wellness.
