The Black Pearl in Singapore is not a quick noodle counter or a casual dim sum cart. It is a Cantonese dining room with a rooftop city feel, polished plates, and a menu that reads like a cabinet full of jade boxes. You find otah mousse in cones, chilled abalone with caviar, slow-cooked soups, roasted duck, A5 wagyu, Boston lobster rice, truffle dumplings, and desserts served cold or hot.
This Black Pearl restaurant menu and price list covers 黑珍珠 The Black Pearl at 333 North Bridge Road, #07-11/12 Odeon 333, Singapore 188721. Prices are in Singapore dollars. The food menu states that prices are subject to prevailing government tax and service charge, and some items need a one-day, two-day, or three-day pre-order. Lunch, dinner, and weekend dim sum brunch hours may vary by day, so check before booking.

The appetiser section has both snack-size bites and luxe seafood. Otah Mousse in Cones is the lowest priced item at $9. It is a smart first bite when the table wants something small before soup or duck. Deep-Fried Japanese Pumpkin, Deep-Fried Beancurd, and Fried Duck Wing all cost $16, so those are the best lower-cost openers.
The pricier starters lean on seafood and chilled textures. Sake Marinated Chilled Abalone with Caviar costs $36, while Deep-Fried Silver Cod Smoked with Osmanthus costs $48. The silver cod is the top appetiser price, and it suits diners who want the first plate to carry perfume, crunch, and deep fish flavor.
Soups
| Soup | Serving Note | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Soup of the Day | Per person. | $12 |

| Eight Treasures in Whole Winter Melon | Per portion; one-day pre-order. | $128 |
The soup menu moves from gentle bowls to grand banquet-style orders. Soup of the Day and Crab Meat & Corn Soup are both $12 per person. Hot & Sour Soup with Seafood costs $18 and adds a sharper edge. Shunde Style Fish Soup costs $22 and brings slow-cooked broth with crispy fish skin on top.
The upper soup prices tell a different story. Mini Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at $88 per person is the richest per-person soup on the list. Pig’s Stomach and Abalone in Whole Chicken Soup costs $118 per portion, while Eight Treasures in Whole Winter Melon costs $128 per portion. These are not quick bowls. They are slow, ceremonial dishes, like a lid lifted from a clay pot after a long wait.

Seafood is one of the menu’s strongest sections. Pan-Fried Yellow Croaker starts at $18 per piece, though the menu calls for at least two pieces. Prawns sit mostly in the $38 to $42 range. Scallops and garoupa reach $48, which puts them in the premium seafood tier but still far below the abalone dishes.
Abalone is where the seafood prices climb sharply. Braised Dried 10 Head Golden Abalone costs $88, while the 10 Head South African Candied Abalone costs $168. The 6 Head South Africa Candied Abalone costs $488, the highest listed price in this guide. It is the menu’s pearl in a locked box.

The live seafood section does not post fixed prices. Instead, the menu lists seasonal price. That is normal for live seafood because size, supply, and market price can shift from week to week. Cooking methods include Hong Kong-style steaming, home-style steaming with black fungus and red dates, steaming with fresh Sichuan peppercorn, deep frying with superior sauce, claypot baking with black garlic, wok-baking in superior broth, wok-frying with ginger and onions, chilli sauce, black pepper, and Bi Feng Tang style.
For live seafood, call ahead. Empurau, humpback grouper, and geoduck carry pre-order notes. These dishes are best for groups that want to choose a fish or shellfish around the day’s catch, then match the cooking method to the table’s taste.

The claypot section gives the menu its deeper, warmer flavors. Eggplant with salted fish and kai lan with prawn paste each cost $24. Braised tofu with roasted pork and sweet and sour pork both cost $28. Beef brisket and Dongpo pork belly are $36, good choices for guests who like long-cooked meat and rich sauce.
A5 Wagyu with Wild Mushrooms stands far above the rest at $98. It is the premium meat plate, with a more direct luxury feel than the slow braised dishes. Beef short ribs and diced beef tenderloin cost $38 each, so they are the better beef picks for a group that wants strong flavor without going into wagyu pricing.

Roasted Suckling Pig reaches $368 or $398, and the XO glutinous rice stuffed version is listed at $208 or $198. These are celebration dishes, not quick weekday orders.

Chee cheong fun ranges from $12 to $18. Bird’s Nest Egg Tart costs $16 for three pieces and sits at the higher end of the fried, baked, and pan-fried section. For a dim sum table, order two steamed choices, one rice roll, and one baked or fried item. That gives softness, silk, crunch, and sweetness without going straight into the banquet dishes.
Desserts
| Dessert | Details | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Chrysanthemum Aloe Vera Jelly | Chilled. | $8 |

The most luxurious dessert is Double-Boiled Almond Cream with Bird’s Nest served in a whole coconut at $38. The menu notes an estimated 25-minute wait. This is not a rushed dessert. It closes the meal with a soft spoonful rather than a crash of sugar.
Best Black Pearl Orders by Budget
For the lowest-cost meal path, choose dim sum and a simple rice or noodle dish. Shredded Yam Spring Rolls cost $8, several dumplings cost $9, Mini Bolo Bun costs $10, and Yangzhou Fried Rice costs $24. A table of two could order dumplings, a rice roll, fried rice, and one dessert for a more modest bill than the abalone, duck, or live seafood path.
For a mid-range dinner, choose Deep-Fried Japanese Pumpkin, Crab Meat & Corn Soup, Sweet & Sour Pork, Braised Tofu with Roasted Pork, Angus Beef Hor Fun, and a chilled dessert. These dishes keep the meal rich but do not move into the $88 to $488 range.
For a premium meal, choose Mini Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, The Black Pearl Peking Duck, A5 Wagyu with Wild Mushrooms, Chef’s Signature Boston Lobster Rice, and Double-Boiled Almond Cream with Bird’s Nest. For a larger group or a banquet, add suckling pig or one of the live seafood choices.
Best Black Pearl Orders by Taste
If you like crisp starters, choose fried beancurd, fried duck wing, crispy squid, or fried silver cod. If you like chilled seafood, choose drunken prawns, jellyfish head, or chilled abalone with caviar. If you like deep broth, order Double-Boiled Chicken Soup with Abalone, Mini Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, or Pig’s Stomach and Abalone in Whole Chicken Soup.
If you want roast flavor, choose Iberico pork belly, Iberico char siew, Sichuan mala roasted chicken, or Peking duck. If rice is the goal, choose Yangzhou Fried Rice for a simple plate, Black Truffle Egg White Seafood Fried Rice for a richer one, or Boston Lobster Rice for the big spend. For dessert, chilled guava puree is bright, yam paste is creamy, and bird’s nest almond cream is the top pick.
Final Take on Black Pearl Menu Prices
The Black Pearl menu is priced like a fine Cantonese restaurant. Small dim sum starts under $10, many appetisers sit from $16 to $26, soups can stay at $12 or climb beyond $100, and seafood has a wide range from pan-fried fish to rare abalone. Rice, noodles, tofu, and vegetable dishes give the menu more flexible price points, while duck, suckling pig, wagyu, lobster rice, and abalone sit near the top.
The strongest everyday picks are Otah Mousse in Cones, Deep-Fried Japanese Pumpkin, Soup of the Day, Crab Meat & Corn Soup, Sweet & Sour Pork, Yangzhou Fried Rice, Black Pearl Truffle Wild Mushroom Dumplings, Xiao Long Bao, Mini Bolo Bun, and Chrysanthemum Aloe Vera Jelly. The best premium picks are Sake Marinated Chilled Abalone with Caviar, Deep-Fried Silver Cod Smoked with Osmanthus, Mini Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Braised Dried 6 Head South Africa Candied Abalone, A5 Wagyu with Wild Mushrooms, The Black Pearl Peking Duck, Boston Lobster Rice, and Double-Boiled Almond Cream with Bird’s Nest.
