Escape Restaurant (One Farrer Hotel)

One of my go-to restaurants whenever I'm in the Farrer Park area and want somewhere nice and comfy to have a meal at. Located at the 6th floor rooftop of One Farrer Hotel, the place just exudes warmth, comfort, and ambience. Come for dinner so you can have your meal with the backdrop of the garden against the setting sun.

On to the food, the Burpple deal only applies to dishes up to $32, so we got the Mala Prawn Pasta and Miso Salmon, both $28. For the pasta, I enjoyed the muted numbness of the mala sauce, and don't worry about the spiciness level as it's a 'Xiao La' at best (though you can adjust this with the chilli flakes given). Five bouncy shrimps adorned the pasta, and if I had to give a complaint it would be that there was not enough of everything!

Initially, I thought the Salmon would be like any other salmon dishes I've had, but wow was I wrong. The salmon itself was perfectly cooked - tender, flakey, juicy, and yet with a crisp skin. The sweet-savouriness of the miso marinade made it even moreso flavourful, and you could dip in the accompanying miso bearnaise sauce to take it up a notch. The salad and mashed potato was also great, and overall the entire dish was greater than the sum of its parts. Totally recommend!

I also appreciated the complimentary bread to start off the meal which was good, as was the service rendered by the staff. Would return!

Wow this is flavourful and well balanced meal. Nice for vegetarians too.

Tandoori chicken with rice rice is apparently a good option over briyani that I had previously. The mango chutney is awesome! Thanks to wonderful service crew Akash, Sundara and female waitress for lovely smiles and consideration for my hospital patient.

It was more Ma than La and overall a good dish if u like something with a kick!

It was easy to reserve via Chope from Burpple app. Had to try this $32 burger and it was juicy & delicious! Loved the 3 onion rings stacked on the burger.

The briyani was a little dry and can be more flavourful. The tandoori was very tender, pairing well with the chutney, yogurt and lentils.
