Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Encountered @ Coconut Grove 遇见 @ 椰林 appears to be a strong contender for authentic Chinese cuisine, with a particular emphasis on their steamboat offerings.

Reviewers consistently highlight the 'Coconut Chicken Steamboat' for its naturally sweet and fragrant broth, which becomes richer with the addition of chicken.

Beyond the steamboat, the 'garlic prawn' and 'spicy cockles' are frequently praised for their fresh ingredients and robust flavours.

The 'claypot rice with Chinese sausage' also gets a mention for its 'wok hei' and satisfying taste.

While the Google rating of 3.9/5 suggests some mixed experiences, the detailed positive reviews focus on food quality, freshness of ingredients, and overall deliciousness across a range of dishes.

We'd consider this a reliable spot for a comforting and flavourful Chinese meal, especially if you're a fan of steamboat.
