Yi by Jereme Leung, at Raffles Arcade, is one of the few Chinese fine-dining rooms in Singapore that deliberately isn’t Cantonese. Where Peach Blossoms, Summer Pavilion and Yan Ting all work within the Cantonese tradition, celebrity chef Jereme Leung builds the menu here from provincial Chinese cooking, Sichuan, Jiangnan, “lost” regional dishes he’s spent years reconstructing. If you’re choosing between Singapore’s big-name Chinese restaurants, that’s the single fact that should decide it.

What makes Yi by Jereme Leung different from Singapore’s other Chinese fine-dining restaurants?
It’s not Cantonese. That sounds small until you’re comparing options: nearly every high-end Chinese restaurant in Singapore, from Peach Blossoms to Summer Pavilion to Yan Ting, works within Cantonese cooking. Yi deliberately doesn’t. Chef Jereme Leung draws from across China, Sichuan, Jiangnan, Shandong and beyond, and a signature part of the concept is reviving “lost” provincial dishes that have largely disappeared from restaurant menus. If you want refined Cantonese, this isn’t the pick. If you want to eat Chinese food you can’t easily get elsewhere in Singapore at this level, it is.
Leung himself is a recognised name in the modern Chinese culinary movement, and the restaurant carries both a Michelin Guide Singapore listing and a place on the World’s 50 Best Discovery list. The Raffles Arcade room leans into spectacle too, the entrance is framed by around 1,000 handmade paper flowers.
How much does Yi by Jereme Leung cost?
There’s a wide spread depending on how you go in.
| A la carte (per person, typical) | From ~$80 |
| Set lunch menu | From $108 |
| Opulence Menu (signature, per person) | $258++ |
Prices reflect coverage through 2026; confirm current menus and pricing directly with the restaurant, as fine-dining menus here change seasonally.
How does Yi compare to Peach Blossoms and Chatterbox?
All three are premium Chinese restaurants in Singapore, but they’re not really substitutes for each other:
| Restaurant | Style | Entry Price |
|---|---|---|
| Yi by Jereme Leung | Pan-regional Chinese, reconstructed provincial “lost” dishes | Set lunch from $108 |
| Peach Blossoms | Modern Cantonese, Black Pearl One-Diamond rated | Dim sum from $5.80/item |
| Chatterbox | Singapore classics elevated (famous for $25 chicken rice) | A la carte from mid-teens |
Pick Yi if you specifically want non-Cantonese Chinese cooking at a fine-dining level, or you’re drawn by the Jereme Leung name and the Raffles setting. Pick Peach Blossoms if you want refined Cantonese with a flexible price range (an affordable dim sum lunch or a full tasting menu). Chatterbox is the more casual option and the one to book if the point of the meal is a very good version of a Singapore hawker classic rather than regional Chinese fine dining.
What should you order at Yi by Jereme Leung?
The Opulence Menu is the way to see the kitchen’s range in one sitting, it runs through signatures like Sichuan-style sea cucumber in chilli dressing, baked green Asian lobster with salted egg yolk sauce, and, seasonally, the restaurant’s take on yu sheng. If you’re going a la carte, the Sichuan sea cucumber is the dish most often singled out as representative of what makes Yi different from the Cantonese restaurants: it leans into heat and bold seasoning rather than delicate restraint.
The set lunch at $108 is the sensible way to try the restaurant without committing to the $258++ menu, and it’s the version most first-timers should start with before deciding whether the full experience is worth booking.
