There's a manager Alan Li, I beleive he's the boss as well, who's very nice on the phone to propose a set menu for my party , allow us to bring wines only if we order wines from the restaurant to enjoy free corkage. Since I was not sure what my guests' appetite, I told him to let my guests to choose anything on the menu but no dessert, because we arranged a birthday cake, and then he insisted me to order 2 pounds of birthday cake as dessert to make it as full set course, I agreed. The day we arrived, it's completely dead in the restaurant. The waiters showed us to a private room where's upstair of the resaturant. It looked nice but stink coming from the toilet/aircond.....etc. We ordered few bottles of nice wine from the restaurant to enjoy free corkage of the wines we bought along. We ordered a la carte menu because the set menu $398 was not what we wanted. However, the manager all the way pulled the long face to us, he told us since we did not order full set course, he had to charge us the corkage because this is not a bar. At this point I really don't understand, I thought he completely forgot what he proposed and promised over the phone discussion. We were 13 pax, we all end up paid $700 per head which I don't think it's small amount of spending. We did not want to screw up the night and therefore did not arise any arguement like the stink in the room, nor any complaint of his staff who non-stop pouring the expensive bottle of water without our permission. Besides, the brithday cake they made was not exactly we wanted and it didn't seems weigh 2 pounds. Overall the appetitizers were quite nice, like salmon tar tar and scallop carpaccio but the mushroom soup was too salty, they did not serve any bread; for the main course, the beef and risotto were ok, but duck confit was too dry, it took more than an hour to serve the main course, most of them were not hot enough. I am very disappointed of this restaurant, not because of the quality of food, but the poor attitude of the manager plus poor service. We didn't recevie any greet from them even though we did tips. No wonder the restaurant's always empty at night. Definitely will not recommend to any of my friends!!!

Polite and helpful service who were willing to build items 'off the menu'. We settled for a mezza platter, fatoush and tabouleh salads, and a Shish Taouk to share. The 2009 semillon-savignon blend (Aspen Estate) was young but had just the right amt of fruitiness to blend with the food. Salads were excellent as was the Mezza platter, especially the falafel. I only didn't particularly like for the deep fried fritters in the middle of the Mezza. Shish Taouk was plenty for 2 to share with an awesome garlic sauce and some graciously gifted extra Hummus. Very charming staff, great food and a reasonable price (under $800 including a glass of wine each and service charge). We will come back!

]]> Comment on Peking Garden by Bijay Singh http://www.eatdrinkhongkong.com/2004/01/peking-garden-4/comment-page-1/#comment-1305 Bijay Singh Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:39:32 +0000 http://www.eatdrinkhongkong.com/?p=1236#comment-1305 I went to Peking Garden last night with my wife. Overall, a terrible experience. Hot & Sour soup was oily and with no salt. Green beans with pork were limp and oily (should be a little crispy). The chicken in chili as also very oily. While understandable that ithe latter was deep fried, a restaurant that deep fries well, can leave the food without an oily coating while soft on inside.Service was non-existant. No-one ever came to check on how we were doing with the food or to offer tea etc. To their credit, they cancelled the soups, and the Yang Cheow fried rice plus the spicy prawns were both good. Nevertheless, as we told the manageress - we will NOT come back nor recommend it to anyone. I went to Peking Garden last night with my wife. Overall, a terrible experience.
