we booked restaurant thinking to use Amex love dining 50% discounts for 2 but so many restrictions..doesn’t apply to dimsum, dessert etc
decided to take this rediscovery menu no discounts…not disappointed…
1 appetiser prawn fresh & sweet bit of caviar totally ordinary thousand island salad dressing
2 both soups were good ..prawn head soup more 清 prawn dumpling good..better than the prawn ball whelk soup
3 sea perch was good..both styles ok I prefer the 剁椒 to 港蒸, not the standard of peach blossom
4 added kurobuta steak $10 very good tender & tasty
5 1/2 lobster crispy noodles excellent stock one of the best 
lobster the 400g not 550g size..lobster 泡饭good too tasty stock too strong for wife..we both like the lobster noodles better
6 dessert quite ordinary though presentation was creative..look better than taste lol!

peach blossom gastronomic menu
very good actually..much better than expected..
there is a lot creative presentation but most important for us the taste..
the cheese seafood lychee was good & foie gras cigar were excellent
the soup one of the best like a very smooth delicious 佛跳墙
the wild caught 笋壳very nicely done & tasty if not wow
the abalone sea cucumber fish paste one of the best, with tasty brown sauce
the lobster 泡饭lots of lobster meat very nice dish if not my preferred lobster preparation
the dessert very sweet ecuador yellow dragonfruit ..nice very sweet, no skill though just a jelly scoop in the middle…more plating than gastronomic..
the petite four so so not much attraction quite average cream puff tart & panna cotta

wonderful 2pax lunch with Lisa today @ tippling club tg pagar on 28.10.2021.^^
one of the best lunches I had. 🙂
every dish was good..distinctive and delicious great combination of flavours..
we added a kagoshima wagyu $40supplement to share..it was quite sublime..
I can have one by myself haha! there were lots of food though..
Japanese musk melon was soaked in alcohol…we felt a bit wasted…as its expensive fruit so very sweet and doesn’t need process or augmentation…that’s just personal preference. lol! 🙂
place was well patronised for lunch during these covid times…about 75% tables take up..
service was professional. & they provided a birthday cake…
we had a great lunch …
