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 …

cheow ghee bought dinner @ en dining capital towers on 25.10.2021..thanks bro..^^
https://goo.gl/maps/neeToAmW2Xnb4JjN9
wonderful ambience & very nice evening..
restaurant business quite down..
the wagyu beef surprisingly very good
& the ika karaage great too ![]()
the premium sushi set cheow ghee took didn’t come with uni as shown & written in menu
we mentioned to server at first they didn’t know how to react not trained..we didn’t want to escalate so just let it go as F&B everyone having hard time..
later they finally resolved & came back to say they reduce the set to $32 from $40 original ..
so credit to restaurant there was service recovery which I would have insisted in normal times
restaurant also provided a slice birthday cake – tofu cheese cake
had a really good chat & relaxed evening with a close bro..
