Peach Garden (OCBC Centre) - Fabulous Food with Excellent View

There was a calling for chinese food for a business dinner I was organising and it had to happen during the same period we have hosting the ASEAN submit.

After some thought, I figured it is best to avoid Orchard and Suntec area. But where else can I find good chinese food with condusive environment for biz dinner? Again, zip thru HGW for some ideas and finally decided on peach garden @ OCBC.

And I must say that that was a superb decision. This is the BEST biz dinner I had for this entire year, unless Dec can see us out-doing PG@OCBC.

The orders were not placed by me so I do not the full name of each dish.We started with the cold dish, the presentation is a kinda fusion where we were each presented a small portion of 3 types of food on a long plate - just like the starters at Iggy's. There was some little fried fish which was really crispy and tasted a little like twisties only more flavourful, what tasted to be like fried carrot cake and bean sprouts in a pastry bowl and 2 pcs of roast pork.

We then went on to the roast duck. The duck is very well roasted with tender and juicy meat.Next on is the double boiled shark cartilage soup. The soup has definately been boiled for a very long time, it is extremely delectable with generous ingredients.

We then had the perch fish, which was supposedly the signature dish of the restaurant. The fish is very fresh and juicy and the restaurant mgr told us that they will change the methid of cooking this fish frequently to ensure that customers do not get bored. The taste of this fish is definately something to behold.

After the fish, we had some shell food. I think it's clams of some sort. Fresh, juicy and succulent. The noodles came next. Hmm...How can I describe this? So far this is the most innovative and delicious noodle dish I have had to date. The noodles is presented with 2 tiger prawns in a stock of steamed egg (read: chawanushi) with kai lan. The taste is wonderful and the combination complements each ingredient flawlessly.

We finally rounded things off with royal jelly in coconut which was very refreshing and satifying.In summary, with the exception of the roast duck which was very well done but not extraordinary and the cold dish starter, all the rest of the dishes were excellent.
So much so that I decided to book out CNY dinner with them even b4 seeing their menu....
