BYD Zhongshan Park 1826

Came here for a Christmas lunch, that is something that we never expect to be an amazing tasting menu day of 1826. Cafe deco ambience, just like in korea, menu is amazingly good spread that meets everyone needs. Their drip coffee is crafted with precision and that amazed me. We had really a feast... Cod fish risotto, the creamy tasty flavour is refreshing while you enjoy the cod fish fried in just right doness. Is a 5 🌟 dish dish. Nasi lemak is good chilli , fried chicken wings is delicious, simple food but not simple taste. Tiger prawn spaghetti top with fish roe, gives flavour as well as crunch to the dish Truffle fries, good generous cheese topping , Truffle oil can be more. Their mocha is rich in flavour and blended well with right milk. Since is Christmas we ordered a steak, was good portion for one and we all share the good texture beef that preserved the flavour of meet. Fish and chips , really generous using cod fish, wonder which restaurant now does that. Finally when we are full, we decided to take an adventure to tried their signature beef fried rice with 酸菜. This is really a great culinary invention . The chef is creative and place is totally amazingly great. Not in orchard road but a top grade resturant that priced very very reasonably. A place that I will visit every week.

Came here courtesy of BYD vouchers by our friend, who just bought a new family car! 💳 there’s a 30% discount for members atop the vouchers given, rendering the price point affordable for what they are serving! We definitely over ordered, with some highlights as follows: ⭐ brussel sprouts are very well cooked, good amount of seasoning and lightly fried i believe, one of our favourite dishes ⭐ cod fish was fresh and good sized too, for just ~$18 too! ❌ there’s only 1 miss, which was the fried squid, the batter wasn’t the best flavoured one, and it feels a little too fried. The remaining dishes were pretty average, though the price point definitely helps especially for these food which usually costs double in other restaurants. Definitely one that we will return for even without the vouchers!

Had a family lunch gathering here. Brother is BYD car owner and has membership. Invited us to try out the food in its restaurant. We had a number of stuff for sharing. Chicken Kaarage Fried Squid Lady's finger with chincalok Tiger Prawn Aglio Olio Fish & Chips Black Cod Risotto Fried Mantou with Shredded Pork Greek yogurt with Assorted Fruits Yuzu Beer Chamomile Tea Riesling Tea Seasonal Filter Coffee (Hatesa Coffee) Dishes were all good. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Service was good. We were given a table on the 2nd floor due to fully booked. Not so conducive for us as we had a stroller.

A relaxing unpretentious spot for family & friends & fur friends. The brussle sprouts was surprsingly delicious, maybe a tad salty for some, but perfexlct for some. All day 9.90 healthy set meals per month for members. membership is free, and yes, you dont have to own a BYD to be a member. Live band acoustic set was still on past 10pm kitchen closing. The staff kindly offered the alfresco seatings for us to continue the drinks, and pretty much full house on a thursday night!

We are regular diners here as the food is generally good and well presented. Standout dishes include the Fishy Bizniz, BBF Fish & Chips, Nyonya Beef Rendang, Tea Garden Soba, Crispy Cheesy Brussels, Caprese Salad and Matcha Tiramisu. Dishes to avoid are the Unagi Donburi, Rib Eye Steak and ATTO 3 Dry Laksa. Food aside, the advanced reservation system may need an overhaul. We regularly book a table of 4 pax, specifically at Level 2, non-pet friendly, almost always one month in advance. In recent weeks, we came across multiple occasions whereby our reservation has been overriden by some large pax group that likely have booked later than us. Fair enough as the Level 2, non-pet friendly area is the only place to accommodate large pax gatherings of 8 or more. What we aren't pleased with is that we did not receive any advance email/text message that their restaurant is overbooked and they have to relocate us to Level 1, non-pet friendly (smaller tables) or Level 2, pet-friendly (dimly lit with furkids permitted). BYD 1826 has a protocol to call the guest's phone number to confirm booking on the day of reservation. Strange enough, I only receive such calls on days where the restaurant isn't overbooked. On days that Level 2, non-pet friendly is overbooked, they're silent and no call was recieved. We then entered the restaurant and the onsite staffs looked stunned (as if our reservation vanished in their system) and scrambled to find us an alternative seating area. All of these could be prevented if the restaurant have sent an email/text messaged me as soon as the large pax group at Level 2, non-pet friendly have made their reservation. They should be well versed by now that such large pax reservations are very likely to displace smaller pax reservations in the same room. When I am notified on booking changes at least 1 day in advance, I am given ample time to decide: to either accept the alternative seating area or cancel the reservation. When the booking system is in sync and in order, your staffs can run the restaurant smoothly. Unfortunately, I see them logistically strained as they face high influx of guests and frequent overbooking situations. BYD 1826 can do better and I have full faith they will.
