About Fu Manchu Oriental

Fu Manchu Oriental delivers bold Asian fusion and craft cocktails across a split-level dining space on Chevron Island. The ground-floor bar sets an intimate, moody pace for shaken martinis and shareable plates—crispy duck roti, wagyu gyoza, and fluffy bao. Up top, the dining room accommodates larger tables settling in for multi-course banquets, where generous tasting spreads feature slow-cooked beef rendang alongside delicate dumplings.

  • Split-level dining layout: Downstairs features a dim, conversational cocktail bar, while the second floor hosts full restaurant dining.
  • Multi-course banquets: Multi-course set menus and tasting banquets designed for shared group dining.
