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
