Adding to the plethora of dining options at Holland Village is Full Of Luck Club, a casual but trendy Cantonese food bar. Backed by the people from the popular Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant, it is conceptualised to appeal to the younger generation of foodies who love Chinese food, but enjoy it in a modern setting.

 

  

Designed by Farm, Full Of Luck Club is designed with contemporary elements such as concrete screed finishes, marble-topped tables and counters, graphic illustrations, sleek gold-tone trimmings and colourful furniture and decor. The restaurant features an open kitchen and bar, where Asian craft beer is stocked and cocktails with a Chinese spin are concocted.

 

  

Its unique design concept also revolves around the theme of luck, of course, and you’ll spot stylised imagery and icons of the usual suspects — fortune cat, auspicious numbers, dragons and pineapples — throughout the interiors.

 

The eatery’s striking facade, with a bold blue doorway, integrates a “Bao Bar” window facing the sheltered walkway.

 

Passers-by can take away a selection of steamed and fried buns, with fillings such as salted egg yolk prawn, braised pork belly and panko-crusted Portobello mushroom (any two for $9.80).

Or enjoy them dining in, together with dim sum, Chinese dishes, claypot rice and noodles. Besides traditional desserts, there are East-meets-West offerings such as Hokey-Pokey ice cream fried bao ($6.5) and black sesame panna cotta ($8). Also, every meal ends on a fun note — with a fortune cookie!
