drunken chicken
went with sis, b-i-l & a friend to peach garden miramar on 8.5.2014. they were having a 3paying 1 free promotion for 4pax at S$30.80 weekdays. 🙂
#1 the drunken chicken was 1/2 frozen & did not look great (my one looked better..haha) but the taste was good! much better than mine. 🙂
pork floss with deep-fried eggplant
#2 we all liked the pork floss & also the light battered egg plant, very nice dish! 🙂
deep-fried soon hock
deep-fried soon hock
#3 deep-fried soon hock was ok, above average, perhaps a little better than the recent one at ban heng on 25.4.2014, but not the best.
pork ribs
#4 the pork ribs were flavourful. meat not the most tender, just slightly chewy, taste was good.
crab sauce tofu
#5 crab sauce & tofu were good. look-wise seems something missing in this dish..maybe some garnish or greens.
pating fish
#6 pating my favourite fish. this method of preparation not the best. the minced ginger or HK steamed style much better.
roast pork – below par!
#7 it seemed really odd that a roast pork dish in such a restaurant could be bad, but it was, much below par!
char siew
#8 we were already very full when i spotted the char siew later & had to order it. this was very good! almost imperial treasure standard. 🙂
losbter claw sharksfin soup
sea cucumber sharksfin soup
#9 each diner was only allowed 1 order of soup. i had the lobster claw sharksfin soup. it was very average soup (not even as good as any lie tong aka soup of the day from tonglok restaurants or imperial treasure), and the sea cucumber sharksfin seemed no better.
hotplate venison
#10 venison was very average, like any zi char stall.
pan-fried kurobuta
#11 kurobuta itself was tender & tasty. this chinese way of preparation though not my favourite.
dried scallop eggwhite fried rice
#12 fried rice was good, fragrant! 🙂
yuzu prawn fritters
#13 these were very nice, much better than wasabi mayo prawns preparation. 🙂 may try these at home.
fried scallop with french beans
#14 this was like a joke. the scallops turned out to be like 1 medium scallop (or maybe 1/2) sliced into 10 pieces. you need real skills to slice it so thinly. a case of disappearing scallop dish. 😦
indonesian prawn
#15 surprisingly, the indonesian prawn dish was very good. prawn was good & fresh & the curry sauce was very good.
tofu with vege
#16 this was ok, pretty standard.
brocoli & cauliflower
#17 brocoli & cauliflower was very well done, very tasty! 🙂
overall food was quite good for an ala carte buffet, a lot better certainly c/w ban heng.
the service was good, efficient & friendly throughout except when paying the bill. we were charged a really hefty S$1.50pax for ice water & S$1pax for towels, so there was an extra S$10++ tab on the bill. it was a bit high but ok except that we asked specifically at the beginning when deciding whether to order tea & was told by the server that water was FREE, and tea was S$2.50pax. i told the girl closing the bill. she said water was as charged (next time i need to record the conversation. haha!). anyway, the total bill after 1pax free came to $120nett=S$30nett per pax so i was quite ok to just pay it.
i would come back again but buffets were very heavy & not ideal for me to do too often. 🙂

they have good promotion, too bad, they have very poor service. I met with a lady,..name got, some ” har” or some name i cannot remember. i keep asking for the manager, but she said she is incharge and she is manager. She is the worst ever. she is scare, and can’t make decidion, yet want to be incharge. Ask something, scare of this, scare of that. Even wedding planner will give in some freebies here an there, especially i am planning on holding an event. I am initially planning around 10 tables, but after talking to her, i gave up. She don’t make it to be a good marketing person. even if got wedding,w ill never go there because of this kind of strict service. no flexibility. how can you restrict people to order the same dishes by per table , when the restaurant is offering ala carte buffet for anyone? How can you have a minimum deposit paid, and said if you never turn up, the minimum person you reserve will be charged the amount regardless whether you turn up or not??? i should ask all my friends to make reservations for me, 20 persons in total, on the same date, then i don’t have to worry on deposits or minimum penalty on payment? i gave up talking to her after trying 2 phone calls, and got picked up by her, who is so inflexible, too bad, i missed this promotion which is a pity ..i don’t think i will enjoy being served by her
