The 19th Suzuki Hanten
The 19th Suzuki Hanten is a newly opened 2-month-old Chinese restaurant headed by Chef Shotaro Takemura who started his career in Shisen Hanten in Tokyo (a famous SiChuan Restaurant in Japan); specializing in Sichuan style Chinese Cuisine.
It is located right in one of the bungalow houses at Lorong Yap Kwan Seng. You may find the logo quite similar to the The 19th Suzuki Shoten and yep, they are under one umbrella. The 19th Suzuki Shoten is rice and sake retailer while this, The 19th Suzuki Hanten is a restaurant.
This is truly a hidden gem which I stumbled upon a chef’s IG and my friend told me about this place the next minute. And so the next week, I was here with my family members!
The interior is decorated prettily in a vintage-y way, walled-up with vintage posters and antiqued looking lanterns/ lamps and classic decorative. On the ground floor, there is a mini bar and also terrace area for those who love sitting outdoor. On the upper floor, there are a lounge area and vip rooms that can fit about 8 to 12 pax. There is also a “Wagyu Room” for their upcoming new project which is happening soon in August (I am looking forwards it!!!).
