Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant

Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant is a Cantonese restaurant on level 3 of Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel, on Orchard Road. It has served Cantonese food in the hotel since 1995.

Chef Brian Wong leads the kitchen. He comes from a family of chefs, and his father taught him the fire control that Cantonese wok cooking depends on. The menu sticks to familiar Cantonese dishes but uses premium ingredients. It suits a family dim sum lunch as well as a business dinner or a celebration.

What to order

Dim sum is one of the main reasons to come, and the pieces are made by hand. Good places to start:

• Classic dim sum: honey-glazed char siew buns and wok-fried carrot cake in XO sauce.
• Richer dumplings: scallop dumplings with caviar, and lobster and beetroot dumplings.
• Roast meats: Peking duck wrapped in thin crêpes. A whole roast suckling pig can be ordered for a feast.
• Seafood: deep-fried cod with crab meat and hairy crab roe, or braised lobster with egg noodles.
• Premium dishes: South African abalone with goose web, and double-boiled quail with bird's nest.

Part of the menu changes with the seasons. In 2026 the kitchen ran a spring menu, a Chinese New Year set menu and handmade rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. Set menus are offered alongside the à la carte dishes, which helps if you are not sure what to order.

The setting

The dining room has a classic Chinese look, with gold-leaf calligraphy and Chinese artwork. The mood is calm and formal enough for a business meal. There are four private dining rooms for family gatherings and company dinners, so larger groups can eat away from the main room.

Good to know before you go

• Dress code: smart casual, according to the hotel.
• Private rooms: mention it when you book if you want one, as there are only four.
• Festive menus: Chinese New Year and other festivals bring special set menus, so check what is on before you go.
