Betty considers her current location in a heritage terrace overlooking a pretty park the greatest gift from the universe; an absolute dream.

Its my passion to serve my guests and friends the food that I like to serve at home to my family. This begins with my selection of healthy and fresh ingredients, good quality oil and MSG freeresulting in nutritious and delicious food, says Betty Ng. All this is complemented with my love for interiors, to provide a great ambience to dine in and good personal service enabling guests to relax and indulge. In late 2016, Betty developed a new Wine Room concept on the first level, creating a casual dining and social space every evening from 5pm. The Wine Room offers a distinctive menu of small bites along with a sophisticated wine list. The balanced, flavourful small plates continue to celebrate Gingers contemporary approach to Asian recipes inspired by the continents herbs and spices and using locally sourced ingredients.
