Must-Ask Questions Answered
1. What makes their steaming technique special?
Unlike typical food court steaming, Chefs Wok uses double-boiled methods for soups like Cordyceps Flower Black Chicken Soup (S$12.50), locking in 90% of nutrients according to nutritional analysis from their City Gate kitchen.
2. Are there vegetarian-friendly options?
23 dishes cater to plant-based diets, including Braised Beancurd & Peanut (S$10) and Steamed Trio Egg (S$10). Their Vegetarian Glass Lettuce (S$3.52) has been a top seller at City Gate since 2022.
