For authentic Zi Char-style Cantonese cooking without the standard mall prices, First Culinary delivers both taste and value in a surprisingly refined campus setting. In this blog post, we’ll explore First Culinary Restaurant menu, pricing, current promotions, best-selling items, outlet locations, operating hours, and share our honest review.

OUR REVIEW ON FIRST CULINARY RESTAURANT SINGAPORE

I recently visited First Culinary Restaurant tucked inside ITE College Central at Ang Mo Kio, and while it’s located in an unexpected setting, the classic Cantonese‑zi char dishes gave it real personality. The décor feels like a throwback to the wedding‑banquet days—a spacious dining hall with wooden partitions and privacy rooms perfect for family gatherings. I kicked off with their Peking Duck, sliced tableside and wrapped in pancakes. The duck skin was crispy, the meat succulent, and despite being described as “Ireland duck”, it was still tender and flavorful. The Yam Ring with Sweet & Sour Pork was surprisingly good—the yam held crisp under gravy, and the pork balanced sweetness and tang well. Signature prawns, clam dishes, and claypot tofu all tasted homey and comforting.

Table service was generally attentive; water refills and tea top‑ups stayed consistent. One woman at the table praised the Champagne Pork Ribs—the ribs were generously sized and well‑seasoned, though not overly perfumed. I also sampled their Garlic Beef Cubes, which were juicy and rich in garlic aroma. Dessert-wise, the Mango Sago Pomelo was a fittingly light finish after a hearty meal. Not everything hit the mark—some dishes felt bland or slightly overpriced compared to what you’d expect—and one TripAdvisor user reported slow follow-up about missing sauce for a bulk order. Portions did trend toward moderate sizes, typical of full-service Cantonese restaurants rather than hawker fare. Still, for occasions—families, company dinners, or a quieter sit-down meal with some classics—First Culinary delivers reliable flavor, nostalgic charm, and clean, welcoming service without the city-center price tag.
