About Emily Yeoh Restaurant

Tucked onto Given Terrace, Emily Yeoh translates Southeast Asian home cooking into hearty, shared-table feasts. Diners who know the drill plan ahead for the centerpiece—whole mud crab drenched in sweet-heat Singapore chilli sauce and pulled apart with fried mantou. The rest of the order moves quickly: poached chicken over seasoned rice, rich roast duck curry, and slices of basque cheesecake. Yeoh works the room between courses, stopping by tables to talk about noodle purveyors and family recipes.

  • Singapore Chilli Crab: Fresh mud crab drenched in sweet, savoury chilli sauce, served with fried mantou for dipping.
  • Benchmark Hainan Chicken Rice: Fragrant rice and tender poached chicken praised by diners as among the best across Australia.
  • Hands-On Chef Hospitality: Emily regularly visits tables to share the stories, technique, and artisan suppliers behind each dish.
  • In-House Bakery Desserts: An inventive Southeast Asian pastry spread featuring pandan basque cheesecake and watermelon matcha cake.
