Dishes include New Ubin’s Egg Foie Gras paired with a truffle soy vinaigrette, their famous grilled Angus Beef Steak (served with truffle fries, created by Clifford Pier), Heart Attack Fried Rice, and an exclusive The Pier Hokkien Mee, inspired by New Ubin’s chef-owner Mr Pang Seng Meng’s memories of dining at the hawker stalls at the original Clifford Pier in which the swanky hotel now sits.
