| - I've been going to Peking Garden for...well, as long as I can remember. Here's why:
1. Dimsum.
You'd think that Chinatown would be the place to go for your weekend dim sum, and in some aspects, you're right. But Peking Garden serves a Northern Chinese (Peking) style dim sum, and it's definitely not the same as your regular Cantonese style. The flavours are different, and you'll find a few dishes on there that, frankly, aren't served in many other restaurants. A few of my favourites include the Green Onion Pancakes, the Peking Chicken meal (both the wraps and the congee!) and their sweet "pockets" - pork + veggies cooked in a sweet brown sauce, which you then stuff in pliable sesame pockets. Delicious.
2. Service.
Okay, maybe I'm spoiled because I've practically grown up with these waiters, but they're friendly. Once you get to know them, it's like you don't even have to order because they know you and know what you want. They always bring me a nice glass of soy milk as soon as I walk in :)
3. All other food.
My family usually goes for their dim sum, but their dinner menu is delicious as well. They've been around for a long time, and really know what they're doing. My favourite includes the Tofu in Brown Sauce (I know, vague) and their stir fried string beans with minced meat. They're consistent in their food quality.
And if that didn't quite convince you, just go check it out yourself. Be a little adventurous and order something that's not your "usual" fried rice or spring rolls. Although, those are good too...
