Yi Qian Private Dining (壹仟私厨) is a Chinese restaurant at 2 Leng Kee Rd, #01-04 Thye Hong Industrial Centre, in Singapore's Bukit Merah, holding a 4.3 rating on Google and posting updates on its Facebook page.
Private-dining Chinese kitchens work differently from an ordinary restaurant: tables are booked ahead, the menu is usually fixed or agreed in advance, and the chef cooks for a small number of parties at a time. That format suits dishes that take time — double-boiled soups, slow braises, whole steamed fish — the kind of cooking a walk-in menu card rarely carries. Regulars flag allergies and preferences when booking rather than at the table, and judge the food rather than the frontage, since some of the city's best Chinese kitchens sit in plain industrial blocks.
For a quieter, more personal Chinese meal on the Bukit Merah side of Singapore, Yi Qian Private Dining is a neat fit for the Leng Kee stretch.
