Peking Garden Restaurant

Peking Garden in Star House, one of Hong Kong’s best known restaurants, is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a complete revamp of its interiors and offerings.

Famous for its roasted Peking Duck and live demonstration of “la mian” (hand-made noodles), Peking Garden's new facelift offers a contemporary look with its chic interiors based on the inspiration of the traditional hutong, the Beijing courtyard house. The outlet also features five new luxury, themed private rooms.

The revamped menu is inspired by the cuisine of Imperial Beijing with emphasis on each dish's elaborate presentation and craftsmanship – perfect for our era in which your camera gets the first bite. Signature dishes include Cucumber in Lime, Pomelo & Chilli Sauce ($88), Shredded Chicken, Cucumber, Red Cabbage and Purple Turnip in Sesame Sauce ($108), Sautéed Prawn with Scallop & Sea Whelk in Chilli Sauce ($780, order in advance); Deep-Fried Mandarin Fish in Sweet and Vinegar Sauce ($298) and the famous Barbecued Peking Duck ($460 /whole and $240/half). The sautéed prawn is a real tour de force as the dish is served on a hand- carved dragon, the mythical beast that gives Kowloon its name.

For sheer panache, the Beggars Chicken ($580, order in advance) steals the show. The carved chicken is filled with abalone, whelk and mushroom and baked inside a hard shell. A guest is invited to break open the shell with a golden hammer and is then presented with a mini-golden hammer and a polaroid photo as souvenirs.

Other notable dishes include Braised Pork Belly ($158), Sautéed Shredded Bamboo Shoot in Chicken Broth ($118), Peking Fried Noodles with Shredded Pork ($118), Deep-Fried Glutinous Puff with Water Chestnut ($72 for six pieces) and Baked Mashed Apple Pastry ($45 for 3 pieces).

Peking Garden has always been popular with visitors; it appears that it just gets better with age. Book a visit and bring your best camera!
