I went there with my parents while they visiting in Singapore so I decided to bring them there. We're went there around 4pm and there's already had quite a bit of queue so I went to queue while they went to shopping nearby . I queue almost 45mins for it since I start queue early when it was my turn I look in the back the queue was way longer than where I was queue when I start (Oā _ā o) kinda shocking tbh .
We order quite a lot

Basically it's jelly with different flavour and pooping fruit pearls but the presentation is pretty
Overall the price is resonable with decent food but I do give them a praise on their presentation making it looks very appealing š¤¤ .
ā”ļøIs it worth it?
For first time experience yes but not really worth the queue
ā”ļø Would I go back?
Maybe when the hype gone down or they change their menu
If you're thinking of visiting Longjing at Suntec City, here are a few tips from my experience that might help enhance your visit. Firstly, the hype around Longjing makes the waiting time quite long, especially during peak hours. Going early in the afternoon or on weekdays helped me avoid the longest queues. Also, they use a QR code menu which allows you to customize certain dishes, like choosing less oil for the Vermicelli Wrapped Shrimps, which I appreciated due to personal preferences. The restaurantās interior really gives you a vibe of dining in China, with thoughtful decor that adds to the experience. The drinks stood out visually, particularly the kale lemon juice and pomegranate juice served with adorable bear-shaped ice cubes, perfect if you love sharing food photos online. Among the dishes, the Minced Pork Pancake was surprisingly flavorful, offering a sweet BBQ flavor that was memorable. However, some items like the steamed egg with razor clam felt a bit bland and could use more seasoning. Presentation across the menu was consistent and beautiful, adding extra appeal. For dessert lovers, the Jiangnan Green Tea Cake, which is more of a hot sesame biscuit with matcha filling, was a delightful warm treat fresh from the oven. The jelly desserts with popping fruit pearls were also worth trying, especially if you enjoy playful textures in sweets. Overall, Longjing is worth a one-time visit mainly for the experience and presentation rather than an everyday dining spot. The food is decent and pricing reasonable. I would recommend going when the excitement calms down a bit or after they update their menu for better value and less waiting time.
