If you’re a fan of Marcy’s cosy, intimate atmosphere and seafood menu, you’ll be delighted to find that its sister restaurant, Maggie’s, is now open at Keong Saik Road.
Maggie’s might just be the only restaurant in Singapore that prides itself on serving inauthentic Chinese dishes — traditional Chinese flavours with Western influence.
The funniest part? It’s located in Chinatown.
The interior is very, very red. It’s a nostalgic blend of “grandma chic” and ‘70s glamour. You can expect fancy chandeliers and fine China dishware, and there’s even a huge dragon lantern lurking around the booths.
P.S. This might be the only Chinese restaurant in Singapore that doesn’t offer chopsticks.
The Mouth-watering Cod Milt (S$24) is a standout. It’s also known as shirako, a seasonal delicacy meaning ‘white child’ in Japanese.
If you’re wondering what this dish is (I sure did), it’s actually the tube-like sperm sacs of male cod and known to be silky and creamy.
East meets West in the Golden Prawn Croque-Madame (S$25), a fusion of the French sandwich and the traditional Cantonese shrimp toast. Its crispy homemade focaccia with prawn mojo is already a favourite among early patrons. And surprise — there’s green peppercorn to keep you on your toes.
Maggie’s also offers the Spicy Clams “Rockefeller” (S$23), a heaping pile of fresh and juicy clams complemented with spicy panko and pickled enoki.
If you’re planning a large group gathering, Maggie’s got your back with their large sharing dishes.
Choose the Roasted Pomfret (S$36 for half, S$58 for whole), a spicy fish dish with an abundance of ginger.
If you’re itching for some carbs, Maggie’s Southern Dirty Rice (S$35) is a Louisana-inspired rice dish with monkfish liver.
After all the bold flavours, try Maggie’s 8 Treasures (S$16), a glutinous rice treat topped with a scoop of date gelato atop a foamy cloud of red bean.
Just like their food menu, classic cocktails are reimagined with the addition of Asian ingredients.
Those eager for good fortune can pick Lucky No. 8 (S$21), a tangy tangerine version of gin and soda. Floral lovers can try the Golden Hour (S$21) which features goji berries and osmanthus.
If you’re looking for a little spice instead, hit up the 麻 (ma)rgarita (S$23) for a glass of tequila infused with Sze Chuan pepper.
They’re now open for reservations during their soft opening but will be officially opening their doors to the public very soon in late March 2025.
Are you ready for your least authentic Chinese meal ever?
