Known for its polished Cantonese cuisine and understated sophistication, Wan Hao’s Lunar New Year offerings are thoughtfully curated. Each dish reflecting meticulous craftsmanship, premium ingredients, and flavours that resonate deeply with the season of reunion.

We experienced the Celebrations of Abundance 6-Course Set Menu S$268.80++ per person ( For 5–10 persons), where the Tea-Smoked Grain-Fed Duck was served in place of the traditional BBQ Suckling Pig with soft crepe. While undoubtedly indulgent, the menu feels intentional rather than excessive — a carefully paced journey that highlights Wan Hao’s strengths in flavour balance, technique, and presentation. Each course arrives with confidence, leaving a strong impression without overwhelming the palate.

The meal began on a celebratory note with the Wan Hao Prosperity Yu Sheng, a generously laden platter featuring Rock Lobster, Hokkaido Scallop, Japanese Yellowtail, Sturgeon Caviar, Salmon and Salmon Roe. Beautifully arranged — and specially presented in the shape of a horse for the media tasting .The enthusiastic Lo Hei set the tone for an evening filled with festive cheer and good fortune.

Symbolising luck and good health, the Tea-Smoked Grain-Fed Duck emerged as one of the highlights of the evening. The duck undergoes a meticulous process — slowly marinated, air-dried for 24 hours, then gently smoked using osmanthus, Long Jing tea leaves, and sugarcane.

The result is beautifully crisp skin encasing tender, flavourful meat, infused with a subtle floral sweetness that lingers gently on the palate. Elegant yet comforting, it is a dish that feels especially fitting for Lunar New Year celebrations.
Available for takeaway at $78 nett (half) and $138 nett (whole).

Rich, nourishing, and deeply indulgent, the Bird’s Nest Eight Treasures Pot was an immediate crowd-pleaser. The collagen-rich broth carried remarkable depth, layered with an impressive array of premium ingredients including 5-Head South African Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Fish Maw, Pork Tendon, Free-range Chicken, Japanese Shiitake Mushrooms, Black Moss Dace Fish Bean Curd Skin Bag, and Prawns.

The Stewed Lobster with Trio Onion in Spicy Superior Light Soy Sauce was both visually striking and satisfying on the palate. Succulent lobster meat absorbed the savoury depth of the superior light soy sauce while maintaining its natural sweetness. The gentle heat and aromatic onions added dimension without overpowering, showcasing the chef’s restraint and finesse.

Cantonese Style Claypot Rice arrived fragrant and inviting. The rice is first enriched with foie gras and superior light soy sauce, before being topped with cured duck, Chinese sausage, and Hong Kong Chye Sim. Each bite delivered familiar flavours layered with richness. This kind of dish that quietly steals the spotlight at the table.

Dessert wrapped up the feast on a light and satisfying note. The Red Bean Glutinous Rice Ball, coated in shredded coconut, offered a pleasant chew, while the Deep-Fried Sesame Ball with Custard delivered that irresistible contrast of crisp exterior and molten centre. Completing the trio was the Chilled Bird’s Nest with Snow Pear and Rock Sugar, refreshing and gently sweet.

Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant’s Lunar New Year menu is a graceful expression of tradition, indulgence, and thoughtful refinement. Whether gathered around the table with family or celebrating in a more intimate setting, the experience feels purposeful, polished, and undeniably festive just as a Lunar New Year reunion should be.
