Our take: Fragrant Garden presents itself as a destination for authentic Teochew cuisine, with some diners praising its traditional dishes and lack of MSG.
The braised pork with bun, yam paste (orh nee), and cold pork jelly are frequently highlighted as standout items.
We note a significant divergence in opinion regarding food quality; while some find dishes like the steamed fish and oyster omelette cooked to perfection, others report issues such as fish scales, hard beef, and an unappetizing 'porky aftertaste' in the braised pork.
The cold crab and yam ring also receive mixed reviews, with criticisms of iciness and a hard texture, respectively.
Service is generally described as attentive, though there are isolated reports of rudeness and slow dish delivery.
The location, within an older shopping mall, contributes to a 'retro' vibe for some, but is considered inconvenient by others.
We think Fragrant Garden is best suited for those specifically seeking old-school Teochew dishes and willing to navigate inconsistent food quality.
Be prepared for a potentially higher price point, with a meal for 5 adults and 4 children costing around $350.
We recommend focusing on the braised pork with bun and orh nee, which appear to be more consistently praised.
