Chinese craft, without fuss.
BIGFAN was designed to ignite the senses — to offer an escape. It was important to us that everyone felt free to be themselves in our house, as we believe that’s when the experience can truly be embraced. Working with local producers and combining their ingredients with refined Chinese craft, we set out to create bold, flavour-driven dishes and a fun, dynamic dining experience — layered with subtle, thoughtful details, yet always without fuss.
Inspired by the highest levels of design, service, and culinary craft. We studied what we knew, merged our experiences and expertise, and set out to create a place that delivered real value while holding onto everything we cherish about hospitality.
Something special at BIGFAN
Our kitchen team puts their heart and soul into developing an exciting, limited-time festive menu, bringing together premium seasonal ingredients, new ideas and a few unexpected surprises.
