Wah Lok is located on the second level within the Carlton hotel, the high ceiling of the restaurant makes the interior looks very spacious. The decor is typical of most Chinese restaurants, with a very comfy and homely feel. There are two different dining halls and can easily fill up on a normal day, which shows the popularity of the restaurant.
Definitely have to try their Peking Roast Duck. Served with their crackers and special sweet sauce. The ordering and serving of the food is fast and the staff is freindly and provided us with excellent service.
Wah Lok's offering chinese nian gao almond-flavoured. Less sweet than the usual traditional nian gao with a nice almond aroma
I love the Steamed Dough Fritters "Cheong Fen" here, thin flour skin lightly wrapped around a crisp dough fritter, with a sprinkling of dried shrimp for flavour.
Had visited Wah Lok a few times for now, and each visit makes my tummy happy. I simply love the dim sum here!
Had har gao, steamed carrot cake, roasted delights, sharks' fin dumpling soup etc. All were yummy! There's really nothing to fault here.
Looking back my archives, I realized its been a while since I last blog about dim sum

Wah Lok restaurant has been around in the Orchard areas for a very long time already.Many regulars, especially the older generations would often patrol this restaurant for a high-tea session as they are quite popular for their Cantonese dim sums.Have tried some of the Chinese dishes during my grand father birthday celebration there.Love their stir fried vegetables with prawns.The prawns are fresh and crunchy and are not over cooked.The vegetables are not too oily and crunchy.Portion of their foods are quite alright.Do note the air-conditioner there is quite cool, so do put on more sweaters during your visit.Spending: Approximately SGD 50(Lunch)
Wah Lok Chinese restaurant has been popular for their Cantonese crusines for a very long period of time already.Happen to go for a friend\'s wedding dinner at this restaurant and get to try their popular dishes.However the dishes here was not really that generous in portion and the hot dishes was not really serve hot upon arrival on the table.Service here is quite slow and not that attentive.The environment is quite normal with some traditional chinese decoration on the wall.Overall was alright but would really hope that they can try to improve their food standard soon.Spending: Approximately SGD 50(Dinner)
This is a hong kong restaurant.
I most like hong kong diam sum,because it is really nice.This egg tart is very nice..!the skin is more like many layers,not like the one sell in the bakery.
It is very soft and the egg smell is strong.
So when bite on it,it melt easily in mouth,and it is really tasty.This fried carrot cake is also nice.The carrot cake is very soft and it is quite chewy and wil not stuck in my teeth.
The saltiness is just right and it is not very oily too.I like the skin of this dumpling,chewy and soft.
I like the freshness of the prawn too.It is really nice.This chee cheong fun is very full of ingredient.
The soft and smooth skin covered with the nice ingredient.
So when i put one piece in my mouth,my mouth full with the fragrance of the chee cheong fun.It is nice..!!!After the meal,must eat with the nice dessert.
Those dessert is really nice.
This make my day brighter..!
A certain maniacal yearning for dim sum saw me at Wah Lok on a busy Saturday morning, in an attempt to kill off the tiny voice in my head that screamed "dim sum" over and over again.
Carrot Cake - Best eaten piping hot, the carrot cake was smooth with bits of pork and shrimp, but not sublime enough with the gravy being a tad too salty. A decent eat nonetheless.
BBQ Chee Cheong Fun - Silky semi translucent skin hiding a generous serving of BBQ pork and topped with chives, which gave it a nice contrast and helped cut through the nausea. Nice but best eaten warm/hot as well, lest the skin turns limp when cold.
Century Egg Porridge - I\'m not a big fan of century egg so I shall reserve my comments save for the fact that the porridge was nicely textured with bits of grain evident.
Pork Dumpling - The siew mai hit the right notes with its low proportion of fatty meat as well as a generous serving of relatively fresh and crunchy prawns. Not too salty as well.
Prawn Dumpling - Another quintessential dim sum staple, the har gao had nice crunchy prawns enveloped in a thin, not too elastic skin.
BBQ Pork Bun - Wah Lok purportedly serves up one of the best BBQ Pork Bun aka Bo Lo Bao (波萝包) in Singapore and its easy to see why. A crusty semi sweet top coupled with a nice, almost oozing BBQ pork filling that wasn\'t cloyingly sweet - No complaints, really.
BBQ Pork Pastry - I thought that the char siew sou lacked the buttery goodness in its pastry, something which I personally prefer. But still a notch above most places with its flakiness and not too sweet BBQ pork filling that had nice chewy bits of fat.
Egg Tart - Flaky pastry with a nice, moderately sweet custard center. Came in a nice bite size as well. Only thing lacking was the butter, in my humble opinion.
Custard Pastry - The 美人腰 (pretty lady\'s waist) ended our dim sum session on a positive note with its flaky pastry coated with tons of icing sugar, belying a warm, smooth and mildly sweet custard filling within.
A satisfying dim sum lunch cost the both of us about $58, which is very reasonable considering the quality. Wah Lok has managed to maintain its consistency over the years and I am sure I\'ll be returning for many dim sum trips to come.

Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant for lunch with family Their baked cod fish which is wrapped in banana leaf is easily the best dish I had that night! the fish was delicious. The chef sauce on the fish made it even nicer as it is very flavourful. it also had a slightly smoky flavour, and this definitely added a lovely taste to the fish! Yummy! We also bought their egg tarts! Very nicely done!Spending: Approximately SGD 37
this is my second visit to wah lok. it was for a family gathering. the food is really good, suits the elderly palettes. their stir fry meats and duck was the highlight of the day. it was so nice then even my grandparents sang their praises.
i brought my in laws to wah lok for a nice meal. the food quality there is indeed delicious. all their ingredients are fresh namely their seafood. their prawns and lobsters are succulent and sweet. their duck is another must try dish. all of us really enjoyed our meal!
My dad made reservations at wah lok for dinner the other day. It was to celebrate my mum's birthday. We ordered their fish, roasted duck and plenty of other dishes.
My sister and I both agreed that the roasted duck was the best dish on the table! The duck was drenched in this really mouth watering gravy. It was roasted till quite crispy. Really delicious.

My family brought my grandfather to wah lok to celebrate his 80th birthday. We wanted to bring him to somewhere nice to mark this special occasion. The entire place was very classy. The food was incredibly delicious!
We ordered quite a number of dishes but the best was the scallop! The scallop was really fresh, it was chewy and sweet. Cooked with the gravy, very tasty. There were other dishes like the fish and duck. All very delicious.
My grandfather was really satisfied with the food and the ambience.

I had a great dim sum experience here for a relative's bday celebration. It was a buffet, hence we ordered as much as we could and really 'pig' it out with the widespread of dimsums!!
The egg tarts came in 'mini' size - (a lil smaller than the palm) and it tasted crispy on the outside and fluffy within. Love it!
I also ate some custard buns, they tasted great too.
Roasted Pork is a must-have for chinese celebrations (esp birthdays). When i had my first bite, i was 'WOW' by the combined texture of the skin(crispy), meat(tender) & fats(juicy).
It was a bday celebration for 60th. Hence we also had a big plate of longevity buns (寿桃) on our dining table. It came with many small buns and a giant one!! I love eating these buns because the lotus paste fillings are sweet.
I believe this restaurant will serve as a good choice for reunion dinner for CNY 2011!

The best possible title to be bestow to Wah Lok…the elite of Hong Kong style Cantonese cuisine.
No one in the culinary world of Singapore would beg to differ on the title bestow to them especially when you see the accolades on display and upon setting into the restaurant, we were all greeted by an impressive rotunda with bay windows framed by opulent curtains exclusively in this dome dining area. A gut feel of harmony immediately rush upon us, infusing the warmth within.
We were there to celebrate my father’s 59th birthday and this may perhaps made it all worthy and valuable to be able to spend quality times with our family and loved ones. Their line of dim sums consists of the usual suspects which are the ever popular Siu Mai, Har Kao, Egg Tarts and their famous Bo Lou Ba a golden encrusted bun bursting with hot aromatic char siar which is a must have for all regular patrons. Meat lovers will definitely appreciate on the selection of limited portion of Roasted Pork, the all time favourite for many. Roasted to perfection while retaining the succulent texture on every bites, this mode of cooking reflects highly on the skill of the chef.
None will be left disappointed upon setting their taste bud on their exquisite range of dim sum. Action speaks louder than words with their service staff being brisk and efficient to handle any mode of demand. Wah Lok made it all justifiable for their no nonsense food quality and unpretentious mode of presentation. Wah Lok…the pride of Cantonese dim sum with a platform comparable to heaven…YUM CHA at its finest!
A reservation is a must if you wish to have a seating!
