Overall Impression: The food selection is not big, but enough to fill up the hungry stomach. Food quality were mostly decent. The special thing in Escape restaurant is they provide cooked seafood service whereby other hotel restaurants do not provide this service.They have quite nice desserts here! I have nothing to complain about their service as they always provide the BEST Service! Keep it up! 

The ambience here is quite quiet so if you're looking for cosy and not so noisy ambience with decent and affordable food, free flow nice coffee and TWG Tea + good service, this is the place for you!

Visited on 11 Dec 2016 (Sat). Wan Hao is an award-winning chinese restaurant that has reopened its doors during Oct 2016 after a major refurbishment. The restaurant is helmed by Executive Chinese Chef Brian Wong Shiuh Yean that serves well-executed Cantonese cuisine. Wan Hao is consistently listed as one of the top restaurants in Singapore and heralded for its impressive wine list of over 300 selections and excellent appeal to wine lovers.

They have some private rooms at this area here. Below photo is one of their private room!

I love this sofa seat at this cosy corner. There were only two sofa seat table here.

Chrysanthemum Tea

Braised Golden Superior Stock, Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber, Abalone, Bamboo Shoot
($22++)

The soup was flavourful but I prefer thicker broth. Overall was not bad as you could taste the goodness boiled into the clear broth.

Wok-Fried Iberico Pork, Home-Style Spiced Sauce
($30++)

Pork slices were tender and thoroughly infused with the black pepper and other spices. Wonderful flavours in this dish! Not forgetting to mention the beautiful bowl shape created by the chef.

Wan Hao Signature Crispy Chicken

(Half: $22++, Whole: $40++)

 The above is for half portion. The chicken was served with deep fried cod fish strips (the kind you find as snacks). I find this combination was very special and great! The chicken was moist and quite tender while the skin was thin and crisp. You won't go wrong with this dish.

Chilled Lemongrass Jelly with Lemon Sherbet
($10++)

 This is a very popular dessert here. After a full meal, this is the best dessert with the right amount of sweetness from the lemongrass jelly and some zestiness from the lemon sherbet to cleanse your palate!

Chilled Lemongrass Jelly with Red Wine Granite & Diced Dragon Fruit ($13++)

This is such a unique 3-in-1 dessert creation! The dragon fruit was filled with chilled lemongrass jelly at the bottom, diced dragon fruit and red wine granite. The red wine granite was such a gem, it tasted like a red wine grape sorbet that melted in my mouth! How I wish the red wine granite can be bigger.... Must Order!

Overall Impression: Service was good but the waiting time for the food was really quite long. Hope they can improve on the waiting time. I was actually quite impressed with the chef's creativity in terms of dishes or dessert. Food presentation and quality was quite good with nice ambience. Perfect venue for families to celebrate their CNY here!
