Imperial Treasure Fine Chinese Cuisine is a great find in the posh Marina Bay Sands. They provide diners a wide variety of options from mid-priced dim sum/Chinese food to extravagant set menus.

Queues, Queues & Longer Queues
It is getting so difficult to avoid long queues for food in Singapore. See below for the three “infamous queues” in town recently.
