Escape
Restaurant & Lounge ('Escape') is the main restaurant for One
Farrer Hotel & Spa. It is open 24 hours daily to satisfy the
hungry pangs of guests as well as walk in customers. In Escape you
can savour the delight of local cuisine as well as International
selection as well.

Ala Carte
menu is available for the whole day, while quality Food Spread is
available for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
 |
| Cold Seafood & Live Station Combo |
The first
station that catch my attention is the Cold Seafood & Live
Station Combo, as it is located at the beginning of the food area.
The cold seafood selection consist of oysters, prawns, mussels,
yabbies, and crabs. They are fresh, although it is not the cream of
the crop. The oysters is small in size, but juicy and plum. While the
prawns were firm, yet soft at the same time. I like the nice crunch
when you bit into it.

The
unique part about this station is that you can choose the same
seafood (of course not the oysters) to be cooked as well, with the
choice of sauce such as salted egg, chilli crab or black pepper. We
choose the salted egg sauce, which was good enough to satisfy any
salted egg cravings that you might have.

Sashimi
section consist of salmon, tuna, octopus, mackerel and prawns
(amaebi). All of the cuts are fresh, with salmon, prawns and mackerel
got my pick. The octopus was very chewy and made you jaw exercise,
while the tuna was forgettable. Although there are sushi available, I
give it a miss so I can have more space to try other food.

Roast for
the night is Ribeye with yorkshire pudding. I got a solid cut, where
it has a gorgeous pink in the middle. The ribeye is meaty and
succulent with a nice mustard seasoning on the crust. Due to its
size, we were served mini cut of Yorkshire pudding instead of the
whole piece. It has a subtle eggy taste to it, and goes will with the
robust beef jus.

The Asian
stew and Indian food is a must try here. The naan is soft, fluffy
with a good level of chewiness to it. It definitely bodes will the
fish curry and lamb gulai. The tandoori chicken is succulent and well
marinated. Best of all is the lot is braised beef brisket with
tendon. It just melts in your mouth. How I wish that they have
Cantonese egg noodle to go with it.

Surprisingly,
the Asian dim sum section provided a good selection. The Char Siew
Bao is fluffy with a nice sweet pork fillings to it. The same can be
said about the Char Siew Puff. Unfortunately I miss out on the Siew
Mai, it was probably good because the whole tray just disappear. My
favourite was the deep fried prawn in crispy noodle. The combination
of crispy noodle and juicy prawn just hit the spot for me.

For those
who like Cantonese Roast, the version here is palatable but
forgettable. The Bak Kut Teh is the herbal version, though I suggest
you just have the soup and forget about the meat.

For the
sweet ending, the durian pengat with chendol is a must try here. You
can have the durian pengat on its own, or create your own chendol
concoction like what I did. When you mix it, it taste more creamy due
to the coconut milk and gula melaka but with different layer flavour
due to the chendol. Yum Yum.

My picks
for the cakes are the Strawberry shortcake, Passion Butter Cake and
Basil Butter cake. The combination of cream and strawberries between
the cake is just so inviting, you just can't say no. Meanwhile the
butter cake is fluffy and fragrant, which just snug nicely with your
coffee or tea.

The décor
of Escape is modern, practical yet classy. When you enter the
restaurant, you will first see the oval shape bar, followed by the
dining area then the interactive Food Spread area. You will notice
that the walkway between the centre and sides Food Spread area is
narrow, so it is easy to bump to each other. The central part of the
Food Spread area also double up as live cooking stations, while the
sides are reserved for steamer and fridges. They sure know how to
maximise the space here.

Overall,
Escape offer a good Food Spread experience. Considering the space
available, they really serve a wide range of selections. Cheers!!
