Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant

This elegant if slightly austere restaurant, deep inside the impressive Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza in the commercial district, has been playing host to a foodie audience for decades, and it continues to combine formal chic with contemporary Chinese flourishes to pleasing effect. Opulent black and gold furnishings and a range of interesting artefacts and art provide the backdrop for both booth seating and well-spaced tables, but the food generally keeps the eye firmly on the plate.

Classic Cantonese delicacies are the stock in trade using the finest and freshest ingredients. Think scallops and prawns, maybe served with a black truffle sauce or fresh garoupa or turbot. Duck is a speciality: Irish roast or peking duck served of course with Chinese crepes. Mutliple set menus make things easy and might deliver the likes of steam cod with black bean sauce and crispy pork crackling or braised river prawn with noodles. A grandiose wine list gilds the lily.

Diners can expect only the best as Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel’s award-winning Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant re-opens its doors after a major refurbishment. The transformation of an Oriental oasis into the “House of a Chinese Scholar”; ornate décor replete with dramatic black and gold colours; booth seats akin to giant jewel boxes; new, well-executed Cantonese cuisine featuring the most premium ingredients; an extensive array of notable wines – Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant checks all the boxes for one of the finest dining destinations that every gourmand should make multiple trips to.
